Little girls in Cameroon are being betrayed by their own mothers. Using piping hot stones, women “iron” their pubescent daughters’ breasts to destroy any visible sign of budding womanhood. Some of the victims of this torture are as young as nine.
The scars are horrific.
Women say it is love that drives them to brutalize their daughters this way, that they just want to protect young girls from being raped or becoming pregnant at an early age. Instead, they end up with daughters who are both mutilated and pregnant. Not only are the girls disfigured, but many suffer infection, pain, psychological distress, and damage to the breast tissue that can cause lactation difficulties and perhaps even breast cancer.
As with female genital mutilation, girls are having their bodies violated in unthinkable ways in order to control their sexuality. Why bother to address a high teen pregnancy rate with education about sex and birth control when you can scald away the flesh from your daughter’s chest? And of course, it’s easier to blame little girls for being too enticing than it is to repair a culture in which rape and assault are prevalent.
Please watch the documentary embedded below for more on this cruelty. (Note: The video contains some nudity.)

She sure never walked or sat on hat coals.
This entire thread is BS
Thank you.
What ever happened to the vocal Gloria Steinem and the National Organization of Women? Turns out they were a bunch of hypocrits. They’re AWOL in today’s world or they’re apologists for violent busers - after all it’s their “culture”
>>”It is majority Christian, and apparently this practice occurs throughout the country in both Muslim and Christian regions. I was curious about that too.”<<
Thank you.
Is there a link to the video somewhere besides a MySpace blog?
If they were doing that it would have been in the video as it would be much more dramatic. Also, these "mothers" are the very same idiots maiming their daughters by cutting their clits off.
I think these "mothers" don't want to compete with their daughters. If this was really about protecting their daughters they would be smashing some nuts with these rocks instead.
It sucks.
A lot.
This is the culture (?) that was installed here by the big time theives to distract us from the theft.
I had thought as much. Nothing like a history of war,violence, murderous tyrannical dictatorships and explotation by various agencies to up a standard of living. Look at Detroit.
If it’s all butt sex, why do they need abortion?
The basic motivation seems to be that any sign of puberty will result in the girl being sexually assaulted by men -- a rape-based society, if you will.
Seems to me that Horowitz's blog might want to take a look at the larger problem.
LoL! that's the truth!
/rant off. But you pressed one of my hot buttons.
Read farther down the thread. Other reports have them using towels to insulate their hands from the rocks. But in this particular case, she was heating the flat side of the rock, while still able to hold the other side. That would mean she's have to reheat frequently, and maybe change rocks, depending on how long the process went on.
I mean, would you have to see video of the people being marched into the showers and their bodies thrown into the ovens, before you'd believe the Nazis were killing people wholesale? Come to think of it, a lot of people did have that level of evidence, but the movies and even stills did not become available until well after the fact.
I made that very suggestion down thread a bit.
But when you are in an area where men believe AIDS can be cured by having sex with a virgin, almost anything is possible.
'twas my daughters or granddaughters, I'd be on over watch with the AR or maybe the G-3. If I can pop a tennis ball floating down the Trinity, other sorts of balls would not a be a big challenge. First SOB that tried to put a move on 'em would serve to an example to "encourage the others" to be on better behavior.
You should be embarrassed to even post that to me.
I believe next to nothing from the liberal media so I am not just going to believe this either.
It wasn't a bunch of lying, abortionist, liberal, commie, fag marriage supporting, Obama voting douche bags who reported the holocaust.
That ain't the way it works here.
