Book Description
'I am thirty-two years old and all my life I have been told what to do, what to like and who to be. From an early age, I have been taught that if my knees were scarred, I wouldn't find a husband, so I shouldn't run so much. As a teenager, I learnt from girly magazines what to do to please men and later, I discovered that I needed to follow 'the rules' to get a man to marry me. Every day I have been told that I am imperfect and that I should change certain things about myself; how I look, how I dress and who I am. I'm not supposed to fart, shit or even bleed. I'm not allowed to be human.'

The Profiler Diaries 2
Author: Gérard Labuschagne
Publisher: Penguin Random House South Africa
ISBN: 1776390369
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
More riveting cases from the files of former police psychologist and bestselling author Gérard Labuschagne … In this second instalment of The Profiler Diaries, former South African Police Service (SAPS) head profiler Dr Gérard Labuschagne, successor to the legendary Micki Pistorius, recalls more of the 110 murder series and countless other bizarre crimes he analysed during his career. An expert on serial murder and rape cases, Labuschagne saw it all in his fourteen and a half years in the SAPS. Often stymied by a lack of resources, office politics and legal incompetence, Labuschagne and his team were nevertheless determined to obtain justice for the victims whose cases they were tasked with investigating. Tracking down a prolific serial stalker, linking the murders of two young women in Knysna, assessing a suspect threatening to assassinate President Obama and apprehending a serial murderer of sex workers are just a few of the intriguing – and often terrifying – cases he covers in his second book, The Profiler Diaries – From Crime Scene to Courtroom. As Labuschagne says, catching a killer is one thing; getting them convicted in a court of law is an entirely different ball game. This book shows how it is done in fascinating detail.

The Perfect Vagina
Author: Lindy McDougall
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253056144
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
In the West, a specific ideal for female genitalia has emerged: one of absence, a "clean slit," attained through the removal of pubic hair and, increasingly, through female genital cosmetic surgery known as FGCS. In The Perfect Vagina: Cosmetic Surgery in the Twenty-First Century, Lindy McDougall provides an ethnographic account of women who choose FGCS in Australia and the physicians who perform these procedures, both in Australia and globally, while also examining the environment in which surgeons and women come together. Physicians have a vested interest in establishing this surgery as valid medical intervention, despite majority medical opinion explicitly acknowledging that a wide range of genital variation is normal. McDougall offers a nuanced picture of why and how these procedures are performed and draws parallels between FGCS and anthropological discussions of female genital circumcision (cutting). Using the neologism biomagical, she argues that cosmetic surgery functions as both ritual and sacrifice due to its promise of transformation while simultaneously submitting the body to the risks and pain of surgery, thus exposing biomedicine as an increasingly cultural and commercial pursuit. The Perfect Vagina highlights the complexities involved with FGCS, its role in Western beauty culture, and the creation and control of body image in countries where self-care is valorized and medicine is increasingly harnessed for enhancement as well as health.
