Well said, loco.
In Africa and worldwide, millions of young women endure the agonies of breast ironing/flattening/marring to make them more unattractive to men. Of course, this practice stands in contrast to the practice of female genital mutilation (e.g. having clitoris cut off and vagina sewn shut in filthy mud hut with no anesthesia), which is implemented to provide more pleasure to men in their societies. If that's the way their culture works, fine, but don't bring it to Europe and North America! Of course, there have been numerous cases of Muslims practicing these horrific acts on U.S. soil.
What do leftists in the United States think of these horrific practices of female genital mutilation and breast ironing/flattening/marring? They have to celebrate it under the multicultural umbrella, right? After all, it is part of the Muslim culture and it must be celebrated, right? But wait, women are being severely hurt, maimed, and killed which is somehow wrong, right? Are leftists cherry-picking which parts of Islam to celebrate and which parts to condemn? Isn't that wrong, bigoted, and judgmental? Doesn't that convey a sense of superiority, which is very wrong and racist/bigoted?
Ah, the confusion that leftists must endure with their crazy circular logic. Idiots!
Speaking of crazy circular logic, these tortured young women are having their breasts ironed, flattened, and marred to decrease their attractiveness to males, but they are also wearing a large array of body jewelry and modifying their bodies to increase their attractiveness to males. I'm so confused...
Anyway, here is the story about the horrific practice of breast ironing/flattening/marring... Please don't allow Muslims to come to North America!!! Deport the ones who are already here!!!

FGM Is Not the Only Barbarity Women Face
amren.com
The image won’t leave my mind. Beautiful, smiling young women—aged about 18—with butchered breasts: scarred, sagging, singed. These women, from the Cameroon, had suffered breast-ironing: at the onset of puberty, their chests were repeatedly pounded by a scorchingly hot pestle, stone or spatula to try to stop buds developing.
I saw that picture last Friday at a conference in Northolt. It was led by Margaret Nyuydzewira, who runs CAME Women’s and Girl’s Development Organisation. She is adamant that breast-ironing is not just an African issue, that it is happening here too, in the diaspora community. The police consider it a form of child abuse, and reportedly arrested a woman in London two years ago for performing it on her daughter. There are no estimates of victim numbers here, but the UN believes that 3.8 million teenagers have endured it worldwide.
Breast-ironing is the equally ugly cousin of female genital mutilation. It too gets passed down from one generation to the next, an abhorrent heirloom, an ancestral necklace made of scars. Both are encouraged and even carried out by female family members—mothers, grandmothers, aunts. Both have their roots in culture and tradition, not religion. And both are considered to be in the best interests of the girl.
For breast-ironing is intended to deter male attention, to reduce the risk of rape, sexual harassment and teen pregnancy. To “protect” her, a mother takes ownership of her daughter’s body. And that body is viewed as a traitor to the girl, sending off signals to men that she is now “fair game”. So it is a barbaric manifestation of an attitude that spans many cultures, one that asks of a victim of sexual assault: “Why were you wearing such a short skirt?”, or “Why were you walking there on your own at night?”
Nyuydzewira quoted one mother: “If you have a son, you only need to worry about one penis. If you have a daughter, you have to worry about every penis in the world.” But this view insults men too: they are not Pavlov’s dogs, salivating at the sight of female flesh.
Breast-ironing takes a heavy toll on women. There are the physical problems (abscesses, infection, difficulties breast-feeding), the psychological (trauma) and the social (building relationships, not wanting to undress). And it remains a hidden crime, protected by a cloak of filial loyalty. It has been shrugged off too as a cultural practice.
But customs can be challenged. The horrors of FGM, once largely stomached out of a desire to be “culturally sensitive”, are finally being openly discussed. Breast-ironing is another crime against women—and it should no longer be forgotten. |
