Hmmmm....I wasn't terribly flat, so I guess not! My God, I can't believe what some cultures do to their very young girls...it makes me hurt just thinking about it.

When my remaining one (they don't call me the Unihooter for nuthin!) gets old and wrinkly, then's the time to iron it!

I read this story on another forum. I suppose if I were a Cameroon mother who was desperately trying to protect my daughter from sexual predators I would do the same as my women peers. As does genital mutliation, this speaks volumes to the continued oppression of women worldwide.

That's just horrible!

The thought just makes me want to cry for these little girls!

DAMN!, I guess that's what I did wrong. All those years of ironing my breasts and keeping them nice and wrinkle free have finally caught up with me. Maybe it was the brand of spray starch I used on them. If I had known it would cause BC, I would have just let the wrinkly old things flop out. REally now...I can't believe anyone would even consider doing that to themselves or children...sherryg683
