This is almost more disturbing for me than female 'circumcision', because it is meant to damage the female into being less attractive, less likely to be raped. (no photos in linked article)

Ah, a new 'age honored' tribal ritual (we can not judge)...soon to be a video on BMEzine.

But - but - rape is a violent crime. NOT SEXUAL. So why would making a woman less attractive have ANY IMPACT WHATSOEVER? If the owner of a convience store were unattractive, would that prevent you from robbing him, pistol-whipping him and coming and destroying his merchandise?

I have to say, I can't understand why that would be. While being unattractive is a huge burden for a woman, being unable to experience pleasure is worse. (I suppose there are women who would disagree with me...frigid bitches. :P )

I guess I said almost more disturbing than female circumcision because it takes, I think, a stupider/more twisted mind to think that breast mutilation is a good thing. Female circumcision was done in the past to protect virginity, as a marriage rite, to demonstrate [coerced] chastity. Clit removal, also has no real rhyme or reason though. So as far as damage done, yeah maybe breast ironing isn't as bad but as far as stupidity, I think it's worse. Also possibly more painful than circumcision (repeated sessions of burnings with water-boiled stones leading to blisters and abcesses, I don't even have boobs but they hurt just thinking about it).

It seems to me that female circumcision is only a different kind of stupidity than breast ironing not necessarily more or less stupid. The state of mind that female circumcision comes from is to prevent women for their natural sluttish instincts by taking away any joy of sex. Another example of man assuming that women think like they do.

Breast ironing, on the other hand, seems to come from that state of mind that they are going to protect their children from a horrible act. Based on the false assumption that men rape because they are really attracted to the women. In actuality these psychopaths just want to attack weather the woman/girl has breasts or not.

I guess that I can tolerate the state of mind , if not the act, of breast ironing more than female circumcison.
