applying simulacra to individuals

the simulacrum of culture attempts to imitate life/reality, whatever that may actually be. but what about the relativism we've come to understand and the rights for which we've argued on account of said relativism? are our own bodies not our brains' simulacra? the simulacrum of the individual attempts to speak for their life/reality. and, in fact, our bodies are interpreted in particular ways by others as a result of numerous misrepresentative cultural simulacra to which we are exposed daily. how does being fat make me lazy? how does being a woman make me weak?

we rally against the imposed simulacra because we wish to define our own reality. (i was going to say reality, but then i realized all we can hope for is the opportunity to define our own simulacra. i see now that this post simply stems from a lack of reality.)
