The Republic of Honduras, located in the northern part of Central America, is known for its abundant natural resources such as high-quality timber and mineral deposits. Nearly half of the country is covered in precious vegetation and bordered by the blue Pacific Ocean to the east. Standing high in the sky, Honduras seems to be a piece of blue and green jade.
But such a beautiful country with beautiful scenery and abundant natural resources is one of the poorest countries in Latin America!
This country is not only materially deprived, but also spiritually and culturally backward.
In the new society of full equality between men and women, there is still a market in Honduras that violates women's human rights! The official rule is that you can sell your wife every three months, or replace someone else's wife!
Why do Honduras have such strange regulations? What about the full picture? Honduras is recognized as the birthplace of Mayan culture, and the country is geographically not only the center of historical Mayan culture, but also the accession of 18 Mayan kings to the throne here.
Even the beautiful Mayan ruins of Copán are located in Honduras, so it's fitting to describe Honduras as a military and political center of Mayan culture.
Although the Mayan civilization gradually fell into disadvantage after that, some areas of Honduras still retain some of the customs of the Mayan tribes.
For example, the bazaar is a terrible custom left over from the Mayan tribe. The Mayan tribes embraced a culture of warfare, and they used bloody and violent warfare methods to conquer the surrounding areas and gain greater power and resources for their jurisdiction.
Unlike the Chinese tradition of treating captives preferentially, the fate of captives who fell into the hands of the Mayans was very miserable. Male captives would be sacrificed to the gods.
And although the female captives can avoid being killed directly, they cannot escape the tragic fate. They would be given as items to the male warriors of the victorious side.
If the male warriors of the victorious side did not accept these female prisoners of war, they would have been reduced to slavery and sent to the slave market to be sold. After becoming slaves, they completely lost their human rights, not only willing to be slaves and completely surrender to their masters spiritually, but also willing to offer their bodies and labor for their masters.
After the gradual demise of the Mayan civilization, the practice continued in the northwestern part of Honduras. What's even more terrifying is that Honduras has evolved this wartime habit into a bad habit that can be seen everywhere in daily life!
The local man treats his wife as an appendage to himself. They believe that women should not have their own thinking and human rights. Women should come and go at the behest of men. They created a bazaar dedicated to buying and selling their wives.
When they arrive at the market, the women need to change their clothes into very bright and attractive colors according to their husband's request. Some husbands will hang some colorful decorations on their wives in order to make them look more beautiful. This makes people feel that women are just a commodity.
The hearts of these women are extremely entangled, being sold means being separated from their children, and not being sold means being even more brutal.
If they have a bitter face and there is no buyer to bid, then they will not be able to avoid a beating when they return home! The next time they sell their wives at the fair, they will inevitably be taken out and sold like livestock.
Who wants to experience such humiliation again and again? In this way, it is better to show your charm and be bought as soon as possible. If the next husband is a good person, maybe he can live a good life for two days.
So they stretched their waists as much as possible, scratched their heads and posed in various seductive poses, trying to arouse the desire of the buyers in front of them.
Although the faces of these women exude flirtatious flattery, their eyes are hollow, like walking zombies.
Strangely enough, some men also swaggered through the bazaar, but were they also commodities being sold? Of course not, they're just showing themselves. In their eyes, masculine characteristics symbolize authority and status, and they should be displayed without hesitation.
They swaggered through the group of women waiting for sale, judging the women in front of them, and some of them would even look up and down the women they had their eyes on. In their eyes, these women are goods.
They are like examining the teeth of cows and horses, casually and naturally looking at the private parts of women.
In addition to being able to buy wives at will, you can also **. Men will take their wives to the bazaar and then go to pick the wives of other men who want to **. If both parties feel that the other's wife is good, then exchange with each other.
The woman was not allowed to open her mouth to speak during the whole process, and if she objected, she could be beaten up immediately. A woman can only be obedient and obedient, and when the man leads her, she will go home with whomever she wants, like an old scalper without thoughts.
It can be said that women born in Honduras face the greatest darkness in the world from the moment they are born. In Honduras, every mother who gives birth to a baby girl has no smile on her face, only fear and fear.
They are afraid that their husbands will beat them up when they know that they have given birth to girls, and that their daughters will fall into the same misery as themselves. With the emancipation of women's thinking, many women's care organizations in the world have noticed the Honduran wife market, and the tragic living situation of Honduran women has been made public!
But their power is limited and they can't shake the patriarchal power of Honduras**. The local ** did not stop the sale of wives**, but simply stipulated that a wife market would be held at most three months in the future.
Such an overt and covert act of praise confirms the legalization of the wife market! With ** as the backstage, these men who sell their wives as livestock are even more free.
In addition to the wife market, Honduras has a lot to do that is different from other countries. Chinese names carry parents' expectations for their children, and adults can't wait to write all the words that symbolize beauty in their children's names. But in Honduras, the situation is very different!
Walking on the streets of Honduras, you may see children called cigarette butts, dog poop, slugs, or you may see children called McDonald's, cars, **. It can be said that the names given to children by Hondurans are completely random.
Maybe when the child was born, his father saw a cigarette butt and called the child a cigarette butt.
Maybe this father likes McDonald's, cars, ** these high-end products but can't afford them, so he named his child this.
Although China also has the custom of having cheap names to support them, these cheap names are nicknames that only family members call them. Although it is a cheap name, it is also carefully selected by parents, and it is full of strong love.
Hondurans are different, and getting these strange names is a big name. Imagine if you were a Honduran kid and when someone asked you what your name was, would you be willing to say it?
In addition to being unpleasant, this random way of choosing a name has also led to a high degree of renaming. In the end, there was no way to manage it, so it was ordered that these strange names were not allowed at will. In addition to their penchant for fancy names, Hondurans also like to do one thing, and that is to kill people and sell drugs!
Honduras has a population of just over 8 million, but more than 7,200 people are killed every year! These 7,200 people do not include ** attempts and those whose causes of death have not been determined, if you count them all, the sheer number may make people's jaws drop!
In everyone's mind, when it comes to insecurity in the United States, shooting killings come to mind. But in fact, if compared to Honduras, the United States is simply too safe! Honduras has the highest gun mortality rate in the world, with a gun homicide rate of 68%, dozens of times that of the United States!
Honduras is also the country with the most serious drug problem in South America, and even ** has been exposed to drug trafficking! Honduras is not a drug-growing country, so why is there such a serious drug problem?
The reason is simple, it's for the money! Honduras is strategically located close to the Pacific Ocean, with easy access to the United States and Mexico by both water and land. These two countries are the deservedly largest drug markets in South America!
Guarding such a superior geographical location, Honduras has always been poor jingle. The locals started to plan to transport supplies! Greedy and lazy by nature, Hondurans are naturally reluctant to honestly deliver goods such as bananas for small profits.
So what to do to make the fastest money? It's drugs! Soon, Honduras formed a huge network of drug shipments. Down to the common people, up to ***, all of them are inseparable from this transportation network.
Juan Hernández, a former Honduran former, is an excellent example. When he sat in the ** seat, he went all out to crack down on drug dealers, and even set a record of annihilating 40 big drug lords in one fell swoop.
What is surprising is that a few days after he left office, he was exposed to drug trafficking. The drug lords he fought before were all his drug transport rivals, and he himself was the drug transport king of Honduras.
Such a country is really strange enough!
Honduras' natural conditions can be said to be very superior, whether it is the development of mineral resources, or the use of the Mayan civilization as a gimmick to develop tourism, there will be a very bright future.
So why? How poor is Honduras now?
The main reason is that the thinking is backward. Neither Honduras** nor the people have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. They are short-sighted and can only see the small profits in front of them.
Transporting drugs can be lucrative, so do it. Regardless of how harmful drugs will be to this country.
At present, the male regime is **unaware of the devastating blow that the wife market will bring to women. In the consciousness of men, they will not take the initiative to abolish the bad habit of selling the ** market. The abolition of such vices means a blow to the superior privileges of men.
Society is like a balance, and only when men's rights and women's rights tend to be equal, will the whole society develop steadily.
Honduras is like a man who is mired in a quagmire, he is not aware of his situation and is looking for a way out, and the useless struggle will only lead to the deeper and deeper of his life.
