The reason I am asking is because I saw a lot of women who look great after surgeries and I see nothing wrong with them, but when I browse Reddit I see people hating on them so hard, why?

I know this is not what people want to hear, but at least one aspect of it is misogyny.
There was this recent clip of Kate Beckinsale going around and people went batshit over how she had ruined her beautiful looks. The thing is, she definitely had things done before, just go look up pictures of her when she started her career. She was beautiful even then but in a more “normal” way. And no one was outraged or concerned for her then. But now she dares to not be as beautiful as she was before. People have a right to see her be hot!
Don’t get me wrong, I wish there wasn’t such a pressure for people to look perfect and have work done. But I think a huge part of the outrage is actually men feeling that they have a right to decide how a woman should look.
How does that rhyme with increasingly many men also being obsessed by their looks and more and more having surgery done? Hair implants are on the edge of surgery and very common for men. So are nosejobs, eyelids correction, eyebrows raising etc.
While some hatrid is probably misogyny, I have the feeling the divide between people liking “corrective” surgery and those who don’t is more like the age old difference between “high culture” and “folk culture”.
My personal opinion: it’s usually ugly. Almost always do I find it ugly. Chances are I find a naturally aged person 40-65yo more beautiful than ones where it’s super obvious they had stuff done. Especially the trend of getting stuff done super obviously really makes my stomach twist. The natural looking older people to me often just emit a “i’m only human”, “i’m nice” vibe while the overedited body (including having supermany tattoos by the way) usually just screams insecurity, uncertainty, … at me.
And excluding things like corrective surgery after accident or making boobs smaller because of backaches: I find plastic surgery just for the thrill of it an enormous waste of healthcare resources, while many people can’t afford the most basic of health care.
I don’t see how that contradicts what I said? I talked about the pressure many people feel, not just women.
But most of the hatred I see online comes up when it’s a woman. Do you have any examples of men receiving the kind of attention and hatred that Kate Beckinsale or Ariana Grande recently received for their changed looks? Maybe I’m just in my bubble and missed them.
