Preface
I simply had to write this book.
First, women patients
and women friends were curiously noticing other women breasts’ sizes and
shapes. Their comments sounded like a murmur or a mumble or a gossip, but not
yet as a cultural pressure.
That was twenty years ago.
Later in my career,
those whispers found a strong voice. I actually heard in the privacy of my
office women’s complaints about one’s unlucky body, poor presentation of
femininity, abandonment by God, shameful self, feeling nature’s cruelty and
more phrases that clearly indicated misery: had company.
Recently I observed further deterioration on this theme: women’s
blaming what was happening in their intimate relationships on
their breasts’ size and shape. Worse yet, single women blaming
their breasts for not getting the “right” dates! Some examples:
- A woman I’ve known for some time got divorced and started
dating. She had her breasts enhanced surgically “so I can get a
richer husband next time around.”
- A married man confided in me saying he is no longer attracted
to his wife, the mother of their three children, as her breasts
looked “somewhat” sagging.
- A first-grade teacher would not breast feed her newborn declaring,
“My husband does not want my breasts ruined for ever...”
- Another woman in her thirties felt self conscious about her
breasts asymmetry and she had them equalized by inserting an
implant into one of them. Once she got married, she decided to
keep the procedure a secret from the new husband. It is still
secret years into the marriage...
- The husband of a friend of mine left the marriage
as soon as he heard his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.
At
first I thought I wanted to write Booby-Trapped as an educational tool to
decode some issues regarding intimate relationships. Then one day, one of my
six nieces (I have two sons, one grandson, no nephews) told me about a
classmate, 14 years old, who is saving “all” the money she makes from
babysitting(!) for the purpose of having a “boob job” at age 16. I cringed at
that thought and asked my niece to find out if the classmate’s parents know
and/or what do they have to say about it. I got the answer the next day: her
parents will match the savings, and by her Sweet 16th birthday, they will help
her find a surgeon.
What were they thinking?
I learned that Booby-Trapped is not only a relationship issue; it’s a cultural
out-cry!
At that moment I felt I simply had to write this book.
