Go figure:...........

Alleubaahne u REALLY do NEED GOD if u want to "subjegate" ur daughters to such insanity.

Juba, I quite agree with you but I also believe he needs be subjecated to the same torture for that slip of idiocy,

 

I wonder what he would of have said if the roles were reversed.

Sacré bleu! :eek:

 

 

Alle-Ubaahne,

 

If you're expecting admiration or applause for supposedly 'sticking' to your culture, I'm sorry to say there's none forthcoming. Female circumcision needs to be left in the past where it belongs, it has no place in the future.

 

 

Now, do excuse me while I hurl.

Although the origin of corsetry is unknown, it is thought to go back since before the ancient Cretans. After their introduction, their use stayed strong until the 20thcentury. (Period Dress). Along with corsetry comes many health risks, and, in extreme cases, death. One health risk includes the weakening of lower back muscles. When the back becomes use to the extra support of the corset and the tight laces, the lower back muscles weaken making them unable to support the spine (Corsets, Gracious Instruments of Torture). Corsets were even used as discipline for kids. Some were used to restrain rowdy girls from horseplay and unladylike behavior. They even had “stay laces†for boys, which stimulated what girls went through (Corsets, Gracious Instruments of Torture). In addition, many other health conditions were involved. “Constriction of the lower chest results in thoracic (upper chest) breathing, the abdominal cavity is decreased, the intestines are compressed, expansion of the upper ribcage compensates for constriction below, the stomach narrows, and gradually relocates, the five lower 'floating' ribs are driven inwards, and sometimes meet, the liver is squeezed so that eventually furrows develop†(Corsets, Gracious Instruments of Torture). Corsets also restrained women from acting like themselves in general. They were physically restrained from being un-lady like and were in a sense confined. Repressing women also tended to lead them to accept their fashion and not question or rebel against it (Corsets, Gracious Instruments of Torture ).
