Arnaud,
I've ordered a copy of Good Hair as well. :) There are excellent scholarly sources on [[hair
straightening]] in the black community. I dropped a few on the article's talk page, but it's just
the tip of the iceberg. I may do some work on the article. Any help by editors better
qualified than me welcome!
I agree about the Black Girls video. My wife showed it to me a few months ago, and it's
stayed with me ever since.
As for your other point, about unnecessary surgery, Sarah spotted that we had some frankly
misleading before/after plastic surgery pictures in a number of articles on female genitalia
(uploaded by a plastic surgeon, no less). There were also two (2) in the vulva article. I found
that quite perturbing.
Best,
Andreas
Many thanks for your work on those articles, Andreas. I've written to a gynaecologist who published some images showing the natural variation between women, and I've asked if she's willing to release a couple.
The Black Girls video is very moving.
