Mail-order hymens available to Canadians

[n2doc]

by Kris Sims, Parliamentary Bureau

Women who cannot afford to get their hymens surgically re-attached in Canada prior to marriages in their cultural country of origin have a less expensive option: they can order one in the mail.

Starting at just $29.95, women can order a false hymen online, shipped from China.

The imports are officially banned in many Middle Eastern and North African countries, but women in North America and Great Britain are a fertile market.

"We have many urgent requests from women, begging us for urgent delivery before their wedding night," says Mike Munro, with the Hymenshop.com. The online store opened in March 2010, and sells a couple thousand per month.

"There are some cultural notions out there that the ordinary person cannot just challenge and try and change them without paying a very dear price and in some case with their own lives."

1. I take it that these are not delivered on horseback?

:shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Build a better......er, product...

And we have a product that will save lives and reputations...

My. God.

:wow:

[MineralMan]

3. There's a market for everything, truly.

This proves it.

[BobbyBoring]

15. That there is!

I about ready to start marketing replacement fore skins!

Turn your helmet into an ant eater overnight!

4. "...women in North America and Great Britain are a fertile market."

:rofl:

[Botany]

5. I hope they ship new ones ...

... just saying.


The Hymenshop.com. :rofl:

6. It's sad that women have to buy stuff like that before marriage.

Reason #36 why religion sucks.

[aquart]

13. Not actually religion.

It's ethnic patriarchy reinforced by the claim that it's god's will.

But what it really is is PROPERTY. When inheritance is through the mother it doesn't matter who the father is. Her children are obviously hers and they get her stuff.

When inheritance was through the father in the happy days before blood tests and DNA, the only surety was purity and cloistering. And stiff penalties for fooling around. Matriarchies don't have that sort of thing because it doesn't matter if a woman gets knocked up. Her kids are hers.

But patriarchy is fraught with doubt and fear. If the kid looked like Mommy, how could any man be sure?

But they got their leaders and priests and what all to claim it was the will of God and to kill any woman who caused a moment of anxiety.

Patriarchy. Not good for women.

[Shandris]

17. Ahh I get it.

Patriarchy is wrong, evil, and simply must be overthrown.

Matriarchy is A-OK!

How about 'any sex-based -archy, bad for people'.

[Book Lover]

19. Oh grow up, please

Get back to me when the Big Evil Matriarchy is all up in your face.

[aquart]

21. Another false equivalency? for shame.

In matriarchy you don't get stoned for adultery, murdered for losing your virginity.

There are distinct differences because inheritance is simple.

Now you may feel that new technology smooths the differences away, but from where I sit, it's being used to buy replaceable hymens.

23. In the matriarchal Native American tribes, divorce was accomplished

by the wife setting the husbands clothing and personal items outside the front door.

Divorce accomplished. The kids were provided for by the matriarchal family.

7. Hymen worship. The sanitary seal on the virgin bride.

A man's proof that she won't be able to compare him to anything better.

[Sal Minella]

Yes. And if she expresses discontent with his "lovemaking,"

she probably needs to be beaten.

[Quantess]

8. And people complain about American cultural stupidity.

There is no shortage of stupid people anywhere in the world.

[lunatica]

9. This article will no doubt bring in many more customers

I'd be willing to bet there are many ways something similar is done in the Middle East and North Africa. And as far back as human history goes too.

10. There was one old Matron that was very adept at sowing it back together.

She would sell their Virginity until there was nothing left to get a needle into.

[LiberalFighter]

11. If I was a woman I would not put anything made in China in my body.

[Quantess]

14. Or how about the creep from the screwed up culture she's going to marry?

I wouldn't allow that in my body, either. :hide:

[zazen]

16. +1,000!

[PeaceNikki]

22. Word.

[pipi_k]

12. Well I hope they show the "evidence" quickly and then

get rid of the sheets. If it's just a red fluid that only looks like fresh blood, I mean.

Because nearly everyone who has had experience with (that type of) blood knows that it turns a rusty color as it dries.

A red "bloodstain" that stays red the next morning isn't going to fool very many people.

Or maybe it would...

:shrug:

[PeaceNikki]

18. hrm, sold in 5-packs... for the serial virgin?

:\

[awoke_in_2003]

27. "for the serial virgin?"

Or women named Mary :hide:

[Capt. America]

20. Girls in the States can just ask Jeebus for their virginity back,

[Buns_of_Fire]

24. Wouldn't an AUTHENTIC CERTIFICATE do just as well?

I've got AUTHENTIC CERTIFICATES, on GENUINE PAPER, signed by an AUTHENTIC PERSON (me) attesting that whoever is an AUTHENTIC VIRGIN. Only $9.95 plus S&H! But for this week only (and you know we can't do this all day!), we have a SPECIAL where you can get TWO! Yes, TWO! AUTHENTIC CERTIFICATES if you ORDER NOW! (Just pay a slight extra Shipping and Handling charge.)

[nosmokes]

25. It's 2011. Ain't it time to burn the altar of the sacred hymen already?

I got matches...

[Chemisse]

26. I agree. Requiring women to be virgins on their wedding nights is so pre-1960s.
