i remember learning about the bizarre things women would (whether voluntarily or via coercion) do to their bodies to be perceived as desirable like elongate their necks as a kid and thinking how strange it’s nice that people just get to be themselves now

lol

fwiw, neck elongation, i think still happens, thankfully foot binding doesn't (but in china, there is surgery to make you taller!), and in borneo, ear stretching still occurs.

tattoo culture is also interesting - in japan/korea, this was once frowned upon (no baths for you!), but the younger ones have churned that culture

ah fair enough. and yes, lip injections, also there's something eyebrow related (is it double eyelids?). would check out korean plastic surgery culture on this, i personally have done no such work, but have read about it

the main thing i’m getting at is these sorts of body modifications seem quite lindy 

lip injections as an example of a modern american one
