A while back I posted a photo from Geshem of a cute little girl in Thailand with stretched ears (and her brother who’d drawn on his face) and there was some discussion about cultural context and so on. Anyway, I thought it might be nice to put the photo into a family context as well.

its really odd, i usually feel a bit iffy about seeing younger children with piercings but the little girls stretched lobes just compliment her so much and look so pretty

In America, that would be considered child abuse.

I want to adopt that little girl. She’s so cute. ^__^
To the people being culturally stupid: It’s like the tradition here of girls getting their ears pierced when they are little. So what, she has big lobes? They are considered beautiful there (and by me, so :p). Better than her being anorexic and wearing a thong (like kids here do…ew, I hate that *sooo* much).

The lobes on the girl look pretty big, nearly as big as mine!
I recon they are about 30mm?

it looks to me that the girls lobes have been stretched to about 10 or a little bigger but no bigger than 14, you have to remember that she has a small head so they obviously look a lot biger in relation. of course it is all tradition, i recently did a trek in a similar hill tribe in thailand, i dont remember seeing any young girls with this but i know one woman LOVED the fact i had 14mm tunnels in, the same size as hers!

I think it’s pretty hilarious to see people freaking out about piercing kid’s ears when they don’t even question removing entire chunks of their son’s genitalia.

People have said they do not care if its tradition, it’s still wrong.
SO what is worse a little girls stretched lobes, which many of us know, when done right with time and patience stretching is not painful or traumatic!
Or
Forcing (I see it as forcing because it’s not the childs decision. That is being made for them.) a infant to have his genital skin cut from him!
Lets not forget Muay Thai that allows 4yr olds to beat the hell out of each other!
I don’t know perhaps I’m weird.
I think the “tradition” of skin being torn from your genitals is a million times worse than then “tradition” of stretching lobes!
I think people are overreacting.
