This way, women cannot run fast, therefore cannot run away. Women was looked down lower than men for many years and still do in many parts of the world. Only stupid women would do this to their feet. This is torture to the first degree and should be evaluate for mental disorder. This foot look so deformed, it's worst than arthiritis!! This is a way to torture women to be obedient to men.

First of all, a child's toes are broken and folded underneath the feet (save the big toe, thankfully, which was needed for balance.) against her will and without any warning of the process or the pain. She thinks grandma is giving her a pedicure & massage, but surprise, it turns out to be the cruelest, most agonizing pain she has ever experienced as a 3-yr-old or will experience as adult woman!!(and that includes childbirth). Then her feet are each wrapped with a 10-foot x 2-inch silk cloth as tightly as possible without completing cutting off circulation (for fear of gangrene or blood poisoning). Every other day the bandages are removed, the feet are washed, and the toenails clipped to prevent ingrown toenails, and the bandages are wrapped once again even MORE tightly. This ritual continues for another two years. But wait! It gets even better! After 2 years the soles of the feet are broken in half and the feet are literally folded in two, (like a folding chair collasped together), such that the toes and heels touch each other in an inverted ^ shape. All this midst the ear-piercing screams, tears, and pleading of a 5-yr-old child to make the foul ritual stop. Then the feet are rebound and kept this way for months or years at a time. Only occasionally washing the feet to remove the stench of rotting flesh. All in the name of beauty & wealth! It goes on, but I'll stop there to let you catch your breath.

They shouldnt go through all that pain to look "Beautiful" because everyone is beautiful in their own ways.!! no matter how small or how big your feet are. You are still beautiful no mater the difference!!!! :D i think this tradition was very stupid because this DOES NOT

Although I personally have no need for plastic surgery. Foot binding brought in far more elements than those of just...beauty! Men would drink the water that was used to clean bound feet. Men would eat from the toes of a woman with bound feet. Chalk that up to a mere foot fettish if you please. Westerners could pick up a copy in the adult video store on the corner, along with two girls and a cup! But remember to park your car in the 'other' parking lot and slither your way in as to not be noticed by anyone who may know you! Sure, get implants and you may be sexually desirable! Chain them to the kitchen and you have your Chinese bound beauty. Chinese women were bound forcing them to stay at home ensuring that they were not mobile enough to leave the home and find outside love. It is the Chinese edited version of Misery. Men also found it desirable that bound feet made women clench every muscle from her waist down (forced Kegals) allowing men to dream that they are laying with a virgin. In the end, Western adults have a choice! I know I wouldn't send my three year old in for implants!
