Well they do use simple basic foods like couscous and milk from their animals. Not full meals, they also use the cheap illegal medications as well. Also it's likely that since the girls are out the house married before 16, they're investing in a short amount of time on order to save for long term

This is a belief from long ago regardless of race and culture, it's a known concept if you can afford to be fat that means you not from a poor background so this becomes a beauty standard, kind of how sick it is for women to have surgery for big butts.

For me it's not the fact the they think fat is beautiful. It's the fact that they are doing it to get a husband, all the while not going to school. I see why investing in girls education in these countries is so important.
Grooming them as young as 10:-/. All to marry them so they don't have another mouth to feed. But if u didn't force feed them so much food then they can stick around a little longer and not forced to get married so young:-/
@carter mason I can see that, but it's still a sad situation considering how sick the girls get. I think it's great they feel that curvier women are more beautiful but how they're going about it is detrimental to their daughter's health. And anyway, after they're adults and have children... they will naturally become more curvy:-/
They forget as adults how miserable it made them as children, or they would never continue this. A cultures beauty standards should never fog a mother's judgement. They literally admit that their health is not priority. Insanity.
Inflicting this on their children actually makes it okay that it happened to them. It's a sick psychological mindset. If she doesn't do it for her child it forces her to accept and acknowledge she was abused. It can be seemingly too much for the person to bear.
Girls getting married at 12.. I understand that it's a cultural difference but it just makes me feel so sad that literal children are forced to be with men..
I know, right? They fatten their children like they would fatten a calf. Then they send them off for the slaughter(figuratively speaking but no less gruesome).
Meh Yeah but they won’t need to sustain them forever. Eventually they will grow up and marry. “A married daughter means one less mouth to feed” means they are poor and if one of them marries into a family and leaves, it will be easier for the mother to sustain the rest of the family. Still I don’t support force feeding.
You sure don't have proper idea of "quantity" I guess. What's fed for a few months you are comparing it to a mouth to be fed for a lifetime of 60/80 years?
Why can't beauty standards be healthy? Women need to either be overweight or underweight to be considered pretty in this world. It shouldn't matter what they weigh. It's what they want to weigh, not what others want them to weigh. Health shouldn't be put at risk to make someone want to marry you, if so, they aren't ready to marry you.
Everyone should be healthy, but some people are fat or skinny by nature, we should be healthy buuut if we are fat or skinny we shouldn't be judge if is not anyone fault
@@eddoug259 yeah that's true you can think whatever you want about others we don't need to be forced to find someone atractive, in fact most of the people find the most famous models really atractive and they think that the thougth of finding someone attractive is a thought of their own but no, we are "controlled" to think whatever the ones in power want, it's just convenient to them that we feel attracted to someone just by how they are physically, most of the people in this world don't have original thoughts and who have is just here to feed the masters.

@@420ablesmoker While force feeding young girls is to my view a form of child abuse, I also would like to inform you that inside that community, men also are marrying at early adult age.

This is absolutely barbaric. Poor babies. 😢 Im an ER nurse.. the "force feeding" is bad enough but then they are giving them unprescribed steroids n antihistamines that aren't medically necessary?! Jesus christ! Dexamethasone has terrible side effects even when taken correctly..especially for children. U can also have awful withdrawal when u stop them. Truly horrific.
The problem is that you should only focus on gaining or losing weight to be HEALTHY. Being too skinny and being too fat are equally as bad and come with almost an equal amount of health risks.
too skinny = bad ... too fat = bad .... healthy weight is good :) if you are too fat to be healthy lose weight if you are too skinny to be healthy gain weight
The most interesting takeaway from this documentary is that in poor countries - it is enviable to look fatter. Skinniness is associated with poverty, weakness and disease. Whereas in western countries, we are so rich, the quantity of food and health people have does not usually relate to wealth or financial success. Skinniness is associated with athleticism, good health, dancers, models, beautiful, rich people. I can understand their perspective and the bad connotations of being skinny in their country. EVERYONE has to strive for something, believing it will give them what they want. This is just the truth in their society.
Was wondering if I would see a comment like this anywhere on here. I suppose its because I have been studying anthropology, but I was surprised the reporter was unable to remove her own biases from the documentary. Though I understand that according to western values and medicine, what they are doing is unhealthy and even cruel (the force feeding), not everyone in the world has the same morals we do (hence different cultures exist), and there are some groups that do not believe in western medicine at all, so citing WHO guidelines like they are universally understood and accepted isn't really appropriate. You hit the nail on the head, here where poverty is rife, weight is equivocated with wealth, as if you are fat, then you must have money because you can clearly afford to feed yourself. It's like the equivalent of driving a fancy car, wearing designer clothes, or having a big house in western society. It actually wasn't so different in western society a couple of hundred years ago, but looking at us today you would never guess it.
Hen9207 actually in wealthy countries those on lower incomes are more likely to be overweight or obese as lean meat, fruit and vegetables are more expensive than processed foods high in fat and sugar.
Very nice observation! However @Happy Horse is right. I study public health, and for sure "trends" is an important part of peoples weight. However, all over the world weight and health does have a correlation with finances and success: In countries considered rich, the richest are usually more healthy (and skinnier), while the poorer people are more often overweight (and have other health related issues). In countries considered poor, the rich are usually overweight and unhealthy, while the poorer class have a more healthy weight (of course, some is unfortunately dangerously underweight as well). So actually - healthy eating does relate to "social status" even in a rich country. There are a lot of reasons for this of course, but in short rich countries have a lot of "fat" foods for cheap, like takeaway and meat/high calorie food, while lean meat, fruit and veg is expensive. If you are poorer you might also have to work more, and spend less time getting the right amount of exercise. While if you are richer and have a higher education, choosing "good" food (while all food can be considered healthy in right amount) is easier because you can afford it and you might have more time and money to exercise. In poor countries, high-calorie food usually is a lot more expensive, and there is little information about healthy eating. So even if you are wealthy and can afford high calorie food, you might not really understand the consequences unhealthy eating have. Of course a lot more than food makes your health better or worse, like smoking/drinking/drug abuse, living conditions, air quality etc. It would be nice if one day everyone would be able to have good health despite wealth and finances, but it's not like that at all.. On the bright side, when you are aware of this, you can make actions in your local community based on the general health there!
with what schools, what jobs, where could they move to? this is like $3 worth of american money in food and the rest is the best they can do in a place constantly in drought and without many resources as literal nomads... so again what tf could change for them right now?
I could be wrong but I don't think they have to pay for the food. They aren't going to the supermarket, they own the animals that they get the milk from and they probably grow the plants.

@Archnid 001 men whore themselves as well. If these women knew that these men aren't worth the trouble they wouldn't want to get married. Just like men feel women aren't worth it either. Education is important for women so they won't depend solely on a man to provide for them. Most of the time, men will.mistreat women who are not educated.

With the advent of globalization we can only hope that certain methods would be replaced but we can't force what we think as right onto another culture this is just like what the colonizers did
Lmao it's less about the being forced to gain weight and more about the being married off as a child! They're not getting an education or even having a childhood because they're too focused of being prepped to become wives, become property of thier husbands and thier husbands families and have their own kids while still being children themselves, that's the part of the culture that is so painful.
It lies in your mind. Your perception. If women didn’t bend to men’s will, we could feel beautiful no matter what we did. Men exude this confidence all the time. They don’t fret over this nonsense. Try this, tell yourself your the most beautiful women in the world, don’t listen to anyone or otherwise and the moment you find someone who genuinely agrees and you will, trust......... make sure you believe it. And WAH LAH! your beautiful. My father always told me, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” It’s not that we’re all equally beautiful.... it’s just someone will find you uniquely beautiful. And even then, you still have to be beautiful on the inside... so that’s where your focus should be. Outer beauty will follow. And so will others.

this is part of their culture. for westerners, its like restricting food intake. there was even a report somewhere where a teacher refused to let a student eat because the child brought junk foods. there are even diet pills being sold online. i think the closest thing western countries have are those meal plans you have to strictly follow.

@@di7209 That's the reason poverty still exists, more children means more mouth to feed not more hands, that's why family planning is important, but if you have already created a child you have no right to abuse them

@@hellucination9905 society in this sense are the adults because those children just want to be themselves they don't understand anything about marriage or being sexually attractive.
@Shauna jones indeed. I think being natural is more beautiful than anything else. And beauty standards? It should be set by own selves, not influenced by what we think is beautiful to the others because in the end what's beautiful is subjective.
These parents do not care for their children. All they want to do is pass them off. This is so wrong and so disgusting. I don't care what culture you're from these are children.
@Zaynab Pizza What you said does not make sense. The video is about girls. being force fed to look good for men. They would rather marry children instead of women. Something is wrong with this picture. Men should marry women. That makes sense.
hastu S No, we all understand that these girls are forced to marry old men who want fat girls so when they have sex with the girls it is more comfortable for the men. It is pretty clear the purpose of these girls and the women, and it gets pretty annoying to have to see such sexist, disgusting behavior be considered a social or religious norm and, thus, ok.
I was told by a Nigerian colleague that in his part of the country his people would have a 'fattening room' for new brides. Ideas about beauty are different across the world. It's the extremes and the abuses that need to be kept in checked. Great reporting here ❤
@Aeiou Welcome to earth. Every culture has people who engage in unhealthy behavior to attract the opposite sex. From neck elongation to plastic surgery. From over eating to starvation (and laxatives), or even steroid use.
@Aeiou Getting a nose job requires anesthesia which, however small, still carries the risk of death. You could be put under and never wake up. How did you not consider that?
Tabula Rasa it’s them manipulating the women to believe this. Why do they seek male approval above all else? Notice how bluntly the guy who the reporter talks to remarks her attractiveness? He basically says she is ugly, if he acknowledged beauty standards from elsewhere or personal preference, maybe it would not be so bad, but he is straight up telling her she is unattractive. That is manipulation, manipulation that causes women to feel ashamed of themselves and their daughters for not holding up to male standards.
Tabula Rasa They don’t need to be there physically. It’s not like women set the standards for what men find attractive. The man the interviewer was talking to said that fat women are more appealing because they’re easier to have sex with and they’re not attractive if they’re skinny. The women may have set up this feeding ritual, but the men haven’t stopped it, they’ve encouraged it. They’re treating children like they’re delicacies to be bought.
Them as a child: "I want to be fat. Then, I will be beautiful." Me as a child: "I want to be thin. Then, I will be beautiful." If I could, I would give them and younger me a hug and say that they are beautiful just the way they are.
Makes sense if you think about it - if you have something, that's not widely available, you must be rather wealthy or attractive to others. In poor countries, where people starve on the street, being fat shows you are rich enough to afford food. In developed countries, where any food and especially fast food is widely available, being slim means you are educated enough to know how to feed your body correctly.
It depends, in a the poor country where you have to buy at a market you probably don’t have enough money so if you’re poor you can’t afford food so you’re likely to be on the skinny side the rich in a poor country most likely have more weight since they have money so that forms how they view beauty and it makes sense
That baby said "she didn't want to marry" I can't stop crying...5:00..I had to come back and (edit for idiots) ..at 12yrs old most girls are self sufficient but because they're still maturing I call them babies and if we look at them as babies we won't treat them as experienced women..
But she could change her mind when little older, could be she just don't like to be forced to eat so much she do'n't like probably, kids this age and when older and older will change they mind, until they stay strong on what they really want and don't want and if she one of them, they will stay strong on what she want and don't want. That we say a kid that really knows what she want in her/his life :)
When will we stop hurting people especially women in the name of tradition. I've been binging these videos for hours. It's almost always women, selling virgin women at the bride market, kidnapping them to marry them, not allowing them sexual education or contraceptives leading to pregnancies at 12-13. "Period huts" that are actually cow sheds. Seriously when do traditions hurt men.
@Nick F a lot of the things you are describing are due to a hyper masculine culture. Women don't incite wars or perform circumcision, nor hate their boys for having feminine traits. Fact is that a male-based society doesn't work. Society should lift up everyone.
@Nick F I'm a third world bitch dude. From where I'm standing from women face more in the name of culture. I've faced more in the name of culture. I'm considered lucky because my parents educated me. I'm considered lucky that my parents will look for a family that will allow me to work when they arrange my marriage. And I never said traditions don't hurt men. I said they hurt women more. And I'm talking about Traditions. Like religious and cultural stuff that people cling to because it's their culture. So come and talk to me when your 19 year old friends gets pulled out of college by her dad so that she can be married off. Has that happened to you, cause that culture thing happens all the time where I'm from. alright. And if you care about the things you mentioned only if and when someone mentions troubles women face then you're not a real Ally to the men as well.
@@darthdanriea2590 you're right. And some of the things he's talking about are so American???? Not the child solider stuff. But that is not a result of culture. That's a result of the world and the wars men start in their country or between countries. And not letting a man cry is an American thing. Those things can be fixed. What he is not understanding is that people cling to their traditions in these modern times. And why? Because their honour and position in society is tied to it. Basically they hurt their daughters due to honour. And hey I'm from India. Women get killed to protect a family's honour. From where I'm standing traditions majorly hurt women.
@@Beanhill_94 yea the "meninist" movement (putting it in quotes because there is no official word for it) is strong here is America, obviously the guy is American.

I see alot of immigrants that has come to my country and many of their women are fat and I wondered how that culd be since they come from less wealthy circumstances... I guess this video explains that a bit. I guess it makes sense why poor people prefer fatness and wealthy people prefer skinny. We want what we don't have. To us fatness is a rising epidemic, while in poor countries starving is an epidemic, so ofc we will see those bad things as ugly because we put our own emotional experience into it. But the best is to just lie at a healthy BMI ofcourse. Not too skinny, not too fat. But these women are probably not that well informed on that matter.
It's quite sad to see that at this present age and time people still go through some experiences, and what's funny is the fact that they see it as quite a normal thing despite the unknowing pain it causes to the young girls, I felt like crying for them. Anyways I really loved the presenter, she's very good, even up to the extent of eating that heavily with them, it's really courageous
i don't think the pain of the daughters is unknown to the mothers. the mothers reassure themselves with the idea that it's in their daughters' best intereset, and that the daughters will thank them once they marry
This is difficult to accept coming from western society, absolutely horrible to me, for such young girls, however, their culture and financial needs dictate their behavior. I am glad to see someone communicating with them about all the risks, and norms in other parts of the world. I am interested to know more about their community, country and government.

If you think that's bad, in some places they cut women's clits like off because women shouldn't feel pleasure. Sex is only for procreation and shouldn't feel good. They do this to children at the age of 6. It's mostly done at age 9. Some girls die from this.

I saw a clip that showed women holding a (what looked like) 3year old girl down and the old man using a razor blade to cut it. The scream that poor baby girl let out will never leave my mind. More reason I'd read about on why they would do such a thing is: -Only vaginal orgasms are "womanly" orgasms. Clitoral ones are childish/fake🙄 -pleasure is only for men. Not women. - women who have clits are promiscuous and will cheat on their husbands while he is away. -if they don't do it, a sickness will fall on their whole family and they will die. They also sometimes SEW THEIR VAGINAS SHUT! and are reopened when their man wants them and when he goes away for a while she is sewn shut again. Their legs must be bound and tied together to allow healing
Of course she doesn't want marriage. She wants to stay with her mother at home, remaining her child as long as she can. Childbirth at thirteen, fourteen or fifteen... there is no physiological or anatomical path back from the damage.

“One less mouth to feed”??? But they’re being force fed thousands of extra calories, so they definitely have enough food to feed many mouths and more??? I am so confused.
Amyyy I’m confused because aren’t these countries that claim that they are starving and have no food but they have LOADS of food to make girls fat ?
Well they do use simple basic foods like couscous and milk from their animals. Not full meals, they also use the cheap illegal medications as well. Also it's likely that since the girls are out the house married before 16, they're investing in a short amount of time on order to save for long term
Confused too
When they say forced fed I think they mean forcing themselves to eat it
They do state that the other family members go without food

Liz Graham yeah
Some of the girls dont want to be married they just want to look "beautiful"
Grooming them as young as 10:-/. All to marry them so they don't have another mouth to feed. But if u didn't force feed them so much food then they can stick around a little longer and not forced to get married so young:-/
... legit the girl in the vid said she doesn't want to marry... And she still thinks fat is beautiful
@carter mason I can see that, but it's still a sad situation considering how sick the girls get. I think it's great they feel that curvier women are more beautiful but how they're going about it is detrimental to their daughter's health.
And anyway, after they're adults and have children... they will naturally become more curvy:-/
They forget as adults how miserable it made them as children, or they would never continue this. A cultures beauty standards should never fog a mother's judgement. They literally admit that their health is not priority. Insanity.
Inflicting this on their children actually makes it okay that it happened to them. It's a sick psychological mindset. If she doesn't do it for her child it forces her to accept and acknowledge she was abused. It can be seemingly too much for the person to bear.

“A married daughter means one less mouth to feed”
If you racion the food into normal portions, you could sustain them forever
Meh ye but these people are really poor
Gamer Boy still, doesn’t make any sense
Meh Yeah but they won’t need to sustain them forever. Eventually they will grow up and marry. “A married daughter means one less mouth to feed” means they are poor and if one of them marries into a family and leaves, it will be easier for the mother to sustain the rest of the family. Still I don’t support force feeding.
Meh , That’s what I thought, as well! Nonsense!

Why can't beauty standards be healthy? Women need to either be overweight or underweight to be considered pretty in this world. It shouldn't matter what they weigh. It's what they want to weigh, not what others want them to weigh. Health shouldn't be put at risk to make someone want to marry you, if so, they aren't ready to marry you.

We trynna lose weight to look good and they try to gain. I see a problem in both
The problem is that you should only focus on gaining or losing weight to be HEALTHY. Being too skinny and being too fat are equally as bad and come with almost an equal amount of health risks.
Me too
too skinny = bad ... too fat = bad .... healthy weight is good :) if you are too fat to be healthy lose weight if you are too skinny to be healthy gain weight
Oh it's not the same. Forcing children to do something unhealthy is bad, forcing children to do something healthy in a healthy way isn't bad.
The most interesting takeaway from this documentary is that in poor countries - it is enviable to look fatter. Skinniness is associated with poverty, weakness and disease. Whereas in western countries, we are so rich, the quantity of food and health people have does not usually relate to wealth or financial success. Skinniness is associated with athleticism, good health, dancers, models, beautiful, rich people.
I can understand their perspective and the bad connotations of being skinny in their country.
EVERYONE has to strive for something, believing it will give them what they want. This is just the truth in their society.
Was wondering if I would see a comment like this anywhere on here. I suppose its because I have been studying anthropology, but I was surprised the reporter was unable to remove her own biases from the documentary. Though I understand that according to western values and medicine, what they are doing is unhealthy and even cruel (the force feeding), not everyone in the world has the same morals we do (hence different cultures exist), and there are some groups that do not believe in western medicine at all, so citing WHO guidelines like they are universally understood and accepted isn't really appropriate.
You hit the nail on the head, here where poverty is rife, weight is equivocated with wealth, as if you are fat, then you must have money because you can clearly afford to feed yourself. It's like the equivalent of driving a fancy car, wearing designer clothes, or having a big house in western society. It actually wasn't so different in western society a couple of hundred years ago, but looking at us today you would never guess it.
Hen9207 actually in wealthy countries those on lower incomes are more likely to be overweight or obese as lean meat, fruit and vegetables are more expensive than processed foods high in fat and sugar.
Nicely said Hen9207
Very nice observation! However @Happy Horse is right. I study public health, and for sure "trends" is an important part of peoples weight. However, all over the world weight and health does have a correlation with finances and success: In countries considered rich, the richest are usually more healthy (and skinnier), while the poorer people are more often overweight (and have other health related issues). In countries considered poor, the rich are usually overweight and unhealthy, while the poorer class have a more healthy weight (of course, some is unfortunately dangerously underweight as well). So actually - healthy eating does relate to "social status" even in a rich country. There are a lot of reasons for this of course, but in short rich countries have a lot of "fat" foods for cheap, like takeaway and meat/high calorie food, while lean meat, fruit and veg is expensive. If you are poorer you might also have to work more, and spend less time getting the right amount of exercise. While if you are richer and have a higher education, choosing "good" food (while all food can be considered healthy in right amount) is easier because you can afford it and you might have more time and money to exercise. In poor countries, high-calorie food usually is a lot more expensive, and there is little information about healthy eating. So even if you are wealthy and can afford high calorie food, you might not really understand the consequences unhealthy eating have. Of course a lot more than food makes your health better or worse, like smoking/drinking/drug abuse, living conditions, air quality etc. It would be nice if one day everyone would be able to have good health despite wealth and finances, but it's not like that at all.. On the bright side, when you are aware of this, you can make actions in your local community based on the general health there!

Getting married is not the solution for this, education is.
@Archnid 001 men whore themselves as well. If these women knew that these men aren't worth the trouble they wouldn't want to get married. Just like men feel women aren't worth it either. Education is important for women so they won't depend solely on a man to provide for them. Most of the time, men will.mistreat women who are not educated.
Men in that culture hold the financial power,women's survival is to marry well. And men prefer plus size.
But educated persons still do plastic surgeries that put their life at risk

Picky creatures they are.
Tabula Rasa it’s them manipulating the women to believe this. Why do they seek male approval above all else? Notice how bluntly the guy who the reporter talks to remarks her attractiveness? He basically says she is ugly, if he acknowledged beauty standards from elsewhere or personal preference, maybe it would not be so bad, but he is straight up telling her she is unattractive.
That is manipulation, manipulation that causes women to feel ashamed of themselves and their daughters for not holding up to male standards.
Tabula Rasa it’s the men who made them believe they need to do this to their daughters. The men are not stopping it, they’re encouraging it.
Tabula Rasa They don’t need to be there physically. It’s not like women set the standards for what men find attractive. The man the interviewer was talking to said that fat women are more appealing because they’re easier to have sex with and they’re not attractive if they’re skinny. The women may have set up this feeding ritual, but the men haven’t stopped it, they’ve encouraged it.
They’re treating children like they’re delicacies to be bought.
Tabula Rasa If they need to murder someone to not be murdered by you, you are at fault too.

In rich countries a fat woman means, she is from a poor society and in poor countries a fat woman means she is from a rich society.
Messed up society... That's what it is
Makes sense if you think about it - if you have something, that's not widely available, you must be rather wealthy or attractive to others. In poor countries, where people starve on the street, being fat shows you are rich enough to afford food. In developed countries, where any food and especially fast food is widely available, being slim means you are educated enough to know how to feed your body correctly.
In history, that was exactly the case. For rich white men and women, being fat showed you were wealthy because you could afford plenty of food.
@@0neLiners Not just for white people. I mean look at the Venus of Willendorf she was an obese symbol of beauty
It depends, in a the poor country where you have to buy at a market you probably don’t have enough money so if you’re poor you can’t afford food so you’re likely to be on the skinny side the rich in a poor country most likely have more weight since they have money so that forms how they view beauty and it makes sense

@@fridaycars9029 more people more minds to think which improves economy
That's how the cycle goes. Their parents force feed them to marry and have kids and they will do it to their own kids aswell and so forth
That baby said "she didn't want to marry" I can't stop crying...5:00..I had to come back and (edit for idiots) ..at 12yrs old most girls are self sufficient but because they're still maturing I call them babies and if we look at them as babies we won't treat them as experienced women..
But she could change her mind when little older, could be she just don't like to be forced to eat so much she do'n't like probably, kids this age and when older and older will change they mind, until they stay strong on what they really want and don't want and if she one of them, they will stay strong on what she want and don't want. That we say a kid that really knows what she want in her/his life :)

When will we stop hurting people especially women in the name of tradition.
I've been binging these videos for hours. It's almost always women, selling virgin women at the bride market, kidnapping them to marry them, not allowing them sexual education or contraceptives leading to pregnancies at 12-13. "Period huts" that are actually cow sheds. Seriously when do traditions hurt men.
tanya292,
Good day & a super, duper, uber LOUD KUDOS to you for your comment👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💣❗
Good day.
@Nick F a lot of the things you are describing are due to a hyper masculine culture. Women don't incite wars or perform circumcision, nor hate their boys for having feminine traits. Fact is that a male-based society doesn't work. Society should lift up everyone.
@Nick F I'm a third world bitch dude. From where I'm standing from women face more in the name of culture. I've faced more in the name of culture. I'm considered lucky because my parents educated me. I'm considered lucky that my parents will look for a family that will allow me to work when they arrange my marriage. And I never said traditions don't hurt men. I said they hurt women more. And I'm talking about Traditions. Like religious and cultural stuff that people cling to because it's their culture. So come and talk to me when your 19 year old friends gets pulled out of college by her dad so that she can be married off. Has that happened to you, cause that culture thing happens all the time where I'm from. alright. And if you care about the things you mentioned only if and when someone mentions troubles women face then you're not a real Ally to the men as well.
@@darthdanriea2590 you're right. And some of the things he's talking about are so American???? Not the child solider stuff. But that is not a result of culture. That's a result of the world and the wars men start in their country or between countries. And not letting a man cry is an American thing. Those things can be fixed. What he is not understanding is that people cling to their traditions in these modern times. And why? Because their honour and position in society is tied to it. Basically they hurt their daughters due to honour. And hey I'm from India. Women get killed to protect a family's honour. From where I'm standing traditions majorly hurt women.
@@Beanhill_94 yea the "meninist" movement (putting it in quotes because there is no official word for it) is strong here is America, obviously the guy is American. Not talking about or trying to bash him specifically but the irony of the movement is they try to counter feminism without realizing that real feminism benefits everyone.
And it's true a lot of so-called "traditions" really only put people down. And societies that cling to these traditions start falling behind in every aspect of life. It really sucks that they're continuing such things in India and other places.
I hope this problem stops one day and great video🎉

Hi so true thank you, stay safe.
🤦🏾♀️
Physical beauty is subjective. Influenced by societal trends.
I see alot of immigrants that has come to my country and many of their women are fat and I wondered how that culd be since they come from less wealthy circumstances... I guess this video explains that a bit. I guess it makes sense why poor people prefer fatness and wealthy people prefer skinny. We want what we don't have. To us fatness is a rising epidemic, while in poor countries starving is an epidemic, so ofc we will see those bad things as ugly because we put our own emotional experience into it. But the best is to just lie at a healthy BMI ofcourse. Not too skinny, not too fat. But these women are probably not that well informed on that matter.
fatty food is cheaper than healthy food in wealthy countries
False, physical beauty is quite inherent and follows very similar trends. Social beauty and social status is much more influenced by trends.
Not true
Yup. Beauty standards are bizarre. Oh well.
It's quite sad to see that at this present age and time people still go through some experiences, and what's funny is the fact that they see it as quite a normal thing despite the unknowing pain it causes to the young girls, I felt like crying for them.
Anyways I really loved the presenter, she's very good, even up to the extent of eating that heavily with them, it's really courageous
i don't think the pain of the daughters is unknown to the mothers. the mothers reassure themselves with the idea that it's in their daughters' best intereset, and that the daughters will thank them once they marry

Anyways I feel bad for these girls and I hope the best for them💕💕
If you think that's bad, in some places they cut women's clits like off because women shouldn't feel pleasure. Sex is only for procreation and shouldn't feel good. They do this to children at the age of 6. It's mostly done at age 9. Some girls die from this.
I agree but we need to understand that not all men are like that I'm not at all standing up for them

@@sophiajafar7533 preach sister lol, I'm just the same like I don't try too hard I be who I want to be and if no man likes that well they can piss the heck off :)
@Melissa Halliday I was thinking the same thing. When I heard about genital mutilation and the reasons they do this to their daughters I cried my eyes out. I saw a clip that showed women holding a (what looked like) 3year old girl down and the old man using a razor blade to cut it. The scream that poor baby girl let out will never leave my mind. More reason I'd read about on why they would do such a thing is:
-Only vaginal orgasms are "womanly" orgasms. Clitoral ones are childish/fake🙄
-pleasure is only for men. Not women.
- women who have clits are promiscuous and will cheat on their husbands while he is away.
-if they don't do it, a sickness will fall on their whole family and they will die.
They also sometimes SEW THEIR VAGINAS SHUT! and are reopened when their man wants them and when he goes away for a while she is sewn shut again. Their legs must be bound and tied together to allow healing
Dont underestimate the power of education, these people need to be educated to change such a toxic perception in these communities.
