Is Angelina Jolie misleading women?

I came across this piece by Amanda Platell, on Jolie's mastectomy procedure:

Angelina Jolie’s revelation that she had a double mastectomy to reduce her chances of breast cancer has provoked a cruel backlash online.
Some have accused her of being an attention seeker — a former sex goddess who’s past her sell-by date and is now trying to use her medical problems to boost her public profile.
Others, believe it was incredibly courageous to share the details of her dramatic surgery, especially when it’s not yet over. She is due to have a hysterectomy and her ovaries removed to reduce her risk of ovarian cancer.

She is doing it for her children, she says. She did not want them to suffer as she did losing her mother to breast cancer when she was just 56.
But perhaps the most striking thing Angelina said was that she did not feel any less of a woman after having her breasts removed. ‘I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.’

Stirring words, but ones, I fear, which may have a rather hollow ring for the 122,000 British women who have mastectomies, breast surgery or hysterectomies each year. For most, these operations herald a staggering diminution of one’s sense of self and femininity, not to mention the crippling fatigue and terrible depression that often follows such radical surgery.
Not Angelina, apparently. Four days after her breasts were removed, we are told she was working with ‘bountiful energy’ on a new film project, while six surgical drains dangled from her chest, fastened to an elastic belt.She even accompanied Foreign Secretary William Hague to the Congo to highlight rape in war zones.
Brave or deluded? If Angelina wanted to set a more honest example, she would not behave like Lara Croft. She would slow down, take time to recuperate and nurture herself back to full strength over a period of months. 
To imply, as she has done, that it is possible to bounce back in a few days places an unfair burden on those women who struggle physically and mentally in the aftermath of such major and life-changing surgery.
Instead of the sympathy and understanding they deserve from bosses, colleagues, friends and family, there is a worry they will now be expected to ‘bounce back’ in a few days, too.
I’ve no doubt Angelina is sincere in her devotion to her children, but the best thing she could do for them — and for all families in the same position — is to acknowledge what a traumatic ordeal she has been through and take time off work to rest and recover and just be a mum. I, for one, would admire her all the more.

What's your take?
