This was the punishment for "talkative" women in medieval Europe
😰


During the Middle Ages, women labeled as "talkative" or "disobedient" were subjected to a cruel and humiliating punishment: the "scold's bridle," an iron mask fitted with a metal bit that forced their mouths shut. This device originated in Germany around 1550 and was used across Europe until the 18th century to suppress speech and enforce compliance.

The scold's bridle often featured a jagged or spiked metal piece that sat in the mouth, making speaking or even moving the tongue excruciatingly painful. Some versions included additional humiliations, such as bells attached to the headpiece to draw public attention, turning the victim into a walking spectacle of shame.

This is the problem with deleting the "offending" post and issuing a generic "pee pee whack" warning to the forum population- if we didn't see it, we have no idea what the offense was that we are being "pee pee whacked" for.....
As evidenced by the confusion above....
Maybe a brief description, or a heavily edited pic....?
Just sayin....:confused:
It wasn't that good ............... turn the page

In the good old days, while working for NASA and we had secret clearances and there were background investigators that visited my office to inquire about my employees every once in while. One day one investigator showed up and introduced himself. "My name is Bond..... John Bond".
Several months later, he showed up again. Immediately I said in my best Blofeld accent "Ahh Mr. Bond we meet again..."
