[quote=LOVEISVERB,255119]Well, you might not give an appropriate judgement jumping out of the age, especially the footbinding practice has almost been disappeared for a hundred years. We all know people choose to suffer a certain kind of pain for a reward, or they expect something good to happen to them more likely than before the change in their body, for example a good husband; a better job; confidence, etc. Cutting the body open the fill something in so that certain parts of the body become bigger makes women more beautiful (who knows). Imagine we are jumping back to 100 or 200 years back, what would people then think of such behavior? They might think 100 or 200 years later was such a horrible time. :-) Nowadays, i think of nowhere in our body can't be redefined by cutting them open and either fill something in or take something out. Under the cover of the modern medical system, things that are more cruel just do not seem so. I didn't say footbinding is good thing, or isn't cruel, it was bad and horrible. What I want to say is the society is developing to a new era that everybody thinks we have a better life than before(say 100years ago). But our standand of beauty is getting no higher or healthier than anytime. I'd venture to say, it's even worse.[/quote]
