Conclusion

What I've come to lean the most out of the intervention is how grateful we should be to be able to be our own selves, to be individuals in a world where so many people are being silently stripped of their ability to be who they want to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying ukuhlonipha is wrong or right, I'm just saying that as a practice, it's just too clear as to what the intentions of it are. It is done to decrease attractiveness. Cultures and races all over the world have some form of rule or hold of women. It is done, I've come to learn because of man's fear of the power of a woman's beauty and how that power makes the man loose control. Beauty is known to make men weak. That's one of the many reasons men cheat, due to lack of self control.

Is the way a woman looks used to help men curb their own feelings and thoughts that may make them look weak and uncontrollable? It has been said that woman have so much power but they do not realise it. The day that they do, the world's ideologies, beliefs and perceptions of woman will seem ireleveant and worthless.

The Body Uncomfortable project had really taught me alot about the way in which I see myself and how others see me. I can not judge those who do not know any better but to conform to their practices, I can only shed light to those who do not know that practices such as these exist.
