"Operasi kosmetik bukanlah "kosmetik," dan daging manusia bukanlah "plastik." Bahkan nama-nama itu sepele. Ini tidak seperti menyetrika kerutan pada kain, atau menyetel mobil, atau mengubah pakaian usang, metafora saat ini. Trivialization dan infantilization meresapi bahasa ahli bedah ketika mereka berbicara dengan wanita: "nip," a "tummy tuck." ... Operasi mengubah satu selamanya, pikiran dan juga tubuh. Jika kita tidak mulai menganggapnya serius, milenium wanita buatan pria akan ada di kita, dan kita tidak akan punya pilihan."

--- Naomi Wolf

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Cosmetic surgery is not "cosmetic," and human flesh is not "plastic." Even the names trivialize what it is. It's not like ironing wrinkles in fabric, or tuning up a car, or altering outmoded clothes, the current metaphors. Trivialization and infantilization pervade the surgeons' language when they speak to women: "a nip," a "tummy tuck."...Surgery changes one forever, the mind as well as the body. If we don't start to speak of it as serious, the millennium of the man-made woman will be upon us, and we will have had no choice.
