Foot binding:
Any thing that affects the health of the feet, affects the whole body.
To bind the feet early in childhood makes the woman weak. It makes her weak, flimsy, feeble and easy to control.
This is one of the reasons that confucian gentlemen (or their mothers) insisted on women with bound feet. They were easier to control. And for a man who had (or aspired) to having "three wives and four concubines" and other mistresses and prowtotutes, it was important that he be able to maintain order in the household with a minimum of fuss and drama. I.e. not have to shout or be too violent! And if he is violent, to avoid having to leave a mark. And to enfeeble his women in advance helps with that. And so mothers bound their daughters feet so that their prospective mothers-in-law would approve them as potential daughters in law. The women when married usually went to live with the man's family. They were illiterate and isolated, and cut off from their friends. They also couldn't walk very far or fast. And basic tasks like fetching water from distant wells were challenging. But if you don't invest in the women, they don't (or can't) invest in the future of your society. Which is why China was such a sad place.
foot binding: enfeeble the women for ease of control. Ancient Chinese secret.
By the way, type three was known as "pharaonic circumcision". It is what they did in ancient Egypt. To control women. That is for all of you wannabe Egyptologists. That's what your precious Egyptians philosopher and priests actually think of women, and how they ought to be treated. And those priests and philosophers were the ones who kickstarted truth experiment of Greek society around the Mediterranean, and came up with many of the ideas associated with what later became Rome (I think).
For more information about FGM, please read this article. It's an ugly read, and very sad. But well worth reading if you care about feminism, women's issues, or otherwise care about the welfare of women.

When it comes to understanding the _heart_ of these social engineers operating in the same spirit od the Egyptian priests and philosophers, learning about FGM is essential, and the above Wikipedia article is brutal but really very, very good.

Women's Issues
Here are a few images related to what I will call "women's issues".
When I was in university, I did some readings related to gender and women's studies, feminism, and sociology.
Some of the things I learned about were: trafficking, child prostitution, child sex abuse images, domestic violence, foot binding, FGM, access to healthcare and surgery. Also, sex work and coercion.
I also have studied/read about a number of women's issues from a Christian perspective and a feminist perspective. And sociology etc.

Access to surgery is an important women's issue.
https://www.mercyships.org.uk/international-day-to-end-obstetric-fistula/
Some people blather on about women's issues, but perhaps issues such as access to surgery is one of the biggest issues out there.
Basic access to surgery etc, such as obstetric repairs has been patchy in the past. And access to surgery is a pretty basic "women's issue". Christian Charities such as the mercy ships show up in poorer parts of the world to provide basic surgeries and support to communities that do not have good access to healthcare. And I think that sort of thing should be applauded.
Perhaps we might ask ourselves exactly what the truly important woman's issues are.

A Christian anti-trafficking organisation
This is the sort of organisation think highly of. I've heard good things. People that go into difficult countries, and try to reduce victims of trafficking are brave people who do good work. And it is hard! I respect the work that they do.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Justice_Mission
It is just one example of an anti-trafficking organisation. They are actually fight for the welfare of women. These are real women's issues.

I kind of want to write a swiftian satire of the "universal prostitutes collective".
The universal prostitutes collective was created as a response to the threat of revolution by the proletariat against global capital and international finance. It is supported the hardware of the military industrial complex of the USA, and the information warfare department of the PRC.
Now you can enjoy Sex as a Service, delivered to the comfort of your home while eating franchise fast food, and listening to Taylor Swift. The games are merely a transaction cost.
Please sell your daughters and sisters into prostitution to keep the system afloat, it is the only way to save globalist capitalism. It is literally too big to fail, and there is no alternative (TINA).
But I'm not a good writer, sorry

Fred Hollows and Women's Issues
Here is another organisation that probably does more for women than a lot of "women's rights" activists.
They provide life changing surgeries, treatment and support to the blind.

So maybe we need to ask ourselves, "what counts as a woman's issue, and what doesn't" and what sort of policies and decisions improve and support women's welfare? Who actually is working to make the lives of women better, and who is just messing things up.
There are organisations fighting rescue women and children from trafficking situations, and yet there are other nations selling their daughters, wives and sisters into prostitution and/or sex slavery. Who is actually on women's side?
I don't think that the "system" really cares about women. It is using women, just like it uses men. It is exploitative. Try reading this set of short stories if you want to know more:
