thank you kenny!
So wrong Mr. Fisher, zero comparison to getting a childs ears pierced. https://www.google.com/search?q=foot+...
Getting your ears pierced as a child does not create pain and problems for the rest of your life. Footbinding does. There are still a few elderly ladies with bound feet. They can hardly walk, and are in constant pain.
Ear piercing didn't involve for me having any broken bones and I t was not a lengthy process of continued 'piercing' and bandaging. The process of foot-binding was a lengthy process and excruciatingly painful. There is not comparison. Please do not offer information on which you have no experience or have done no lengthy research, Mr. Fisher. You are only partially right with your information. But the final sentence give little credibility to the rest of your remark.
Footbinding involves literally folding the toes into the instep, breaking the bones if necessary, and binding them in that position. The child screams in pain every time the bandages are changed. Compare that with a one-time piercing that, for a baby, heals in a couple of weeks, and you'll see how silly the attempt to compare the two is.
Except the girl's childhood was more or less over at age 5 when this was started and her toenails removed and bones broken. Some died of infection. All this so she would be desirable to men and the family could display high status.
You need to reassess your life if you're comparing foot binding to ear piercing.
