這還不是最痛苦的,。
等好不容易挨過了敏感纖細(xì)的青春期,、到了結(jié)婚生子的時候,,這些被燙過乳房的女孩們開始嘗到了另一種折磨:
Like many young girls, Simone was also made to wear an extremely tight strap around her chest to suppress them even more - which caused her difficulty breathing,。
和很多年幼的女孩一樣,,西蒙被迫穿著特別緊身的裹胸,從而讓胸部變得更平——可這種裹胸會讓人難以呼吸,。
A few years later, when she had a baby to the man she was forced to marry,, the long-term damage became apparent,。
幾年后,西蒙被迫嫁給了一個男人,,還生了個孩子,。這時,燙乳的長期危害就開始明顯了起來,。
“When it comes to breast feeding,, it‘s so strenuous, like there’s a knot inside,,” she explained,。 “It seemed like maybe some of the nerves were destroyed?!?/p>
“喂奶時特別費(fèi)力,,就像是乳房打了結(jié)似的?!彼f,。“感覺像是一些神經(jīng)已經(jīng)被毀掉了,?!?/p>

燙乳,是一種針對女性的“割禮”。而“割禮”陋習(xí)還有很多種其他的表現(xiàn)形式,,每一種都愚昧而殘忍,。
很難想象,在現(xiàn)代社會——甚至是身為西方發(fā)達(dá)國家的英國——也存在如此落后怪誕的陋習(xí),,殘害著一個又一個年幼的女孩,,將她們?nèi)缁ǖ纳稽c(diǎn)點(diǎn)摧毀。
據(jù)悉,,英國一些公益組織已在呼吁學(xué)校和社會對“燙乳”進(jìn)行干預(yù),。
希望更多的人能知道:用燙平乳房甚至割掉一部分性器官的方法來防止女孩被“騷擾”,是多么荒謬而愚蠢的邏輯,。
希望這些對于女童的折磨與殘害,,能夠在這個地球上消失。
