Oh man. This topic has been a hot one on some of the feminist blogs that I read. And yeah, offensive is a good word. I'm not sure how they explain it. I've been under the impression that most women wait until their kids are a bit older to have those types of procedures, so it's not a super big deal to explain it to their children.

But then, I imagine that, if you're 5 and you see your mother coming home from the hospital looking like her face has been smashed in (which it kind of has), you would want someone to tell you why the hell she looks like that. Anyway. *shudder*

Even if your kids are older, isn't this just telling them to start hating their body while they're young?
