We're not too sure about this.
A woman has taken to
Mumsnet after her husband discussed her breasts while at a wedding.
She said that she got chatting to a man who does cosmetic surgery on vaginas (yes), and her husband ended up taking part in the conversation.
She said:
"I got talking to a man who said he did ‘aesthetics’ so I asked if he meant faces etc. He said no, and somehow alluded he did up fannies. He told me a few stories about clients, some of whom had run off with other men as soon as their fannies were nice again.
"Anyway dh butted in and said - I wouldn’t like a woman to have breast enhancement (they both looked at mine and agreed smaller was better), but if she wanted fanny surgery to make herself feel better that was ok. I took this to mean I should have it, as I've often wanted to since kids. It felt like a green light and the man gave us his card."
She asked other mothers whether she's being unreasonable to be upset by this.
Some users replied to her saying it was too much for her husband to be discussing those sort of things with a stranger, and she doesn't need "permission" off him to get a "designer vagina."
One said:
"Oh that's awful! To be discussing your breasts while you were sitting right there - as a 'better' option? How objectifying ...as if they have a right to say which types of surgery are 'ok' on a woman anyway!"
While another said:
"I think it would be a bit of a mistake to take a drunken conversation about abstract stuff as any kind of hint or "green light". I also think I wouldn't get treatment from any plastic surgeon who would troll for patients while pissed at a wedding.
"In closing, I think that if you want surgery and can pay for surgery then it's not required for your DH to give 'permission', even if I personally think that many people have lost touch with the wide and healthy range of 'normal'."
