Seriously, enough is enough already.
In America and most developed countries, woman pour thousands upon thousands of dollars into surgical procedures to insert saline filled bags in their mammary organs for the sole purpose of appearing "hotter" to men. Sometimes, poor girls in less developed countries, but no less developed hunger to look sexy would go to a sketchy quack doctor to get the procedure done, often with disfiguring side effects and problems that may last a life. What is the sense in all this?
I just learned recently of a more ridiculous phenomenon. Ready? It's called Breast-IRONING. It occurs in Cameroon, a country close to the Central African Republic (if my memory is correct) There, mothers are taking heated stones, flat heated stones and pressing down hard on a young girl's developing breasts. The purpose here is to stunt the growth of the mammaries so as to deflect attention from horny, would-be rapists in the land of Cameroon. Of course, common sense number one tells me, it would hurt like HELL. You are burning the skin and killing god knows how many cells inside. Secondly, the disfigurement that comes with doing such a procedure will leave a legacy of shame and discomfort for the victim. Thirdly, and perhaps most ludicrous of all, this may do little to detract a man bent on becoming a sexual predator. Who knows? Maybe the men of Cameroon will develop Lolita like fetishes and actually LIKE flatchested women with crispy singed nipples. Or maybe when the animal urges come about, men couldn't care less whether the woman is a cup -A or a D+. Shocking isn't it? An exercise in futility that results in only pain and disfigurement.
I'm so sick of hearing about females being mutilated genitally or being forced to wear burqas (taliban cloth covering) or being restricted this way or that way either to please men or to divert men's attention. Honestly, it's getting old. That's it, I need to make this my mission in life. To educate more women to have just some fudgin common sense. Ugh, I am honestly ashamed that we let ourselves be so manipulated!!!

I didn't say ANYTHING this time. Altough I have the urge to type "I heart boobs" or "boobies boobies boobies". I will refrain from doing so. I think statistically speaking, disfiguring side effects from breast implants are pretty rare. You just have to do your homework to make sure the doctor is qualified. That sucks that mothers would do that to their daughters. What a shame and what a waste. They're better off teaching them martial arts and self defense. I tried to teach somebody self defense but that person only protests about my methods of teaching. Do you think a rapist is going to care for your protests?!?! Learn your choke holds damnit!

I'd also like to take the time to say, guys will always like/be obsessed with boobs. Get over it.
that wasn't the point of my post. my point is, we girls should get to a point where we could care less what you guys are so obsessed with. we should send a collective F U to all the males and the male centric culture that dominates our minds and turn us into walking stepford wife wannabees.
wow, em, this is by far the angriest posting related to social issues! i'm surprised and delighted.
Society will continue to oogle breasts as long as women find it appropriate to use them to their advantage. I highly doubt such crimes exist in the villages of Africa where the tat hangs free sans clothing. Pretty much, women bring this on themselves.
Well I would think the measure of ironing one's breasts is drastic enough that the crimes must truly exist in that society. I don't understand however how women bring this upon themselve. They do so simply by existing? Is that the idea?
No, they bring it upon themselves as a result of using their bodies for leverage in society.
