breast ironing

[elegance212]

@spring4evaful i'm sorry for you, but Africa is a continent with lot of countries.. speak for yourself and the country that you are from, and don't assume that all africans do this to the female body.

[AviloriANo1]

All circumcision against their will is wrong.

Only the owner of the sexual organs has their own right to cut or remove.

[fadimay]

YO I GRW UP ALL MA LIFE IN CAMEROON !!! I NEVER HEARD OF THIS SHIT!! RITE HERE wtf?

[luxfero]

i wouldnt feel sorry for the parents if their children killed them in their sleep. breast ironing is barbaric

[Nenki9]

Yeah, no wonder some feel like these people are somewhat retarded and barbaric...including me, and I'm a quarter black...

And brest ironing is just the picnic compared to excision...

Reports like these make me puke and want to stick my head in the sand for shame of having black blood in my veins.

[Jackie113thedarkness]

Female genital mutilation is also very disgusting...I hope one day there will be no such things...hopefully.

[CEEJAYDAGOD86]

only barbaric muthafucker is you bitch, you crackers eat bloody ass steaks and fuck yall dogs and other animals that you might have. you can't throw stones if you live in a glass house bitch

[AviloriANo1]

@Nenki9 Dont blame being black, it also happens in Islam. Blame stupid tradition. And don't forget, these acts are done because of men like to have sex with a less-of-a-vagina and cant control their urges when they see breast.

Not blaming all men mind you :]

[ROBOTASSHOLE]

i believe this doesn't stop rape. just causes more problems stop harming young girls bodies. breasts are a gift from GOD

[iamgoddard]

Love to add this to a Playlist but the audio is so low it's hard to hear. ~Ian

[nrocker007]

It doesn't make sense. Why would a woman breast iron? I'm just pissed off now.

[CybernautZero]

Hearing about this sort of screwed up crap taking place gets me so angry. I hate injustice. >=(

[lexiqueen2]

How dark, stupid and ignorant, these people. And its always against women.

[Clarishu]

some do.... i mean majority do... so get over it... u should respect others opinion.. whatever...

[Decembirth]

if something looked at as "Traditional" and "Cultural" causes the pain and death of a child. i do not agree with it.

people of the world are so hung up on not offending other cultures, even if its outright stupid

it is Ignorant to do this to your child. anyone agreeing with this practice, i guarantee - if you said "Would you do this to your own child" ?

they would not do it.

to me this is on the same level as Clitoridectomy. mutilating your child's body and trying to justify it later.

[Clarishu]

They do that so their child doesn't attarct male attraction at an early age. Forced marriage or early pregnancy would be shameful to the family.

[Breewilly]

At least some one around here got's some sense. This si stupidity! Plain and simple. You can try to reason it's not......but your only folling yourself.

[spinafire]

this video (the lady) makes it seem like a terrible barbaric ritual...have you not seen what the women have to say? sure it seems wierd to westerns, but from their view wearing braces or plastic surgery seems like unnescesary mutalation.

[ROBOTASSHOLE]

the mothers are doing this out ignorance this practice the breast ironing should be stopped. please put some laws in that country that helps women and girls. i believe its gross for a goofy pastor to make young lady that is way too young too marry to a fifty year old man this is really gross. pastors that are dirty old men shouldn't be pastors at all

[nattxyz]

isn't it ironic that in Cameroon, girls are pressured to reduce their breasts, but in the U.S. girls are pressured to increase their breasts? and that, in africa, women undergo FGM, but in the United States, women under vaginal plastic surgery? (no kidding - google it.) it's always about women and body image. sexism has no bounds.

[hatemeifuwant]

hahah good wan

[Shawette1988]

they believe that will keep men away from their daugthers so that they can complete school and have a better life... i say just raise not to be hot in the ass.

[unico]

i am grossed out because its damaging!

things like that should be called child abuse

[pink666666]

I agree.

[NN3210]

hell yeah

[Khadijah4peace]

It's not child abuse it's a cultural practice,and in the west we may not agree with it but that doesn't make it child abuse, there are many things that we do that they would find horrible and abusive to children. I'm just saying.

[unico]

i would call it that, because its not necessary.

what they fear is a girl being looked at as an easy target for men.

there needs to be education on puberty.

this doesnt seem anything traditional, just something that started in 70s or something

[Clarishu]

Yes, actually i saw this on nationl geographic once. :D

[meow23]

this not started in the 70's lol

[unico]

@ meow23

I realize that it wasn't started in the 70's

I used that year number as an example.

[Asarelah]

Cultural relativism does not equal moral relativism.

[Khadijah4peace]

How not I mean different cultures have different morals that doesn't make your morals any more or less right then theirs.

[Clarishu]

No. It is for the child's own good...

So they will finish studies. Besides, early pregnancy or forced marriage would be shameful to the girl and her family.

[unico]

I will choose Health and Mental security over some paranoia about Shame.

[tetsuyayamatashi]

It's done with good intent, but it is NOT for the child's own good. It's child abuse in it's purest form.

Read some interviews with women who have undergone breast ironing, many of hem agree that it was a very traumatizing experience.

[1yK3Y4]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Rapists don't choose girls based on their sexual appeal.

[CybernautZero]

Rapists do it for the power trip. Genital Mutilation and Breast Ironing are such stupid and barbaric practices.
