“Two old men lie down side by side, but not too close, with their bellies resting along the lengths of two large shields placed face upwards on the ground ; across their loins, and thus connecting them, is placed another shield, also face up, so as to form a kind of seat upon which the young man to be operated upon is made to sit (Fig. 430). Here he is held by the swarm of men around, some at his thighs and legs to keep them apart, others at his trunk and arms, and one in particular holding his head well back and plugging his fingers in his ears, so as to prevent him either seeing or hearing what IS about to follow. The operation consists of two vertical cuts into the urethra extending from the external orifice with a third independently transverse one below, the resulting flap of skin being allowed to take its own time apparently in subsequently rotting off down to the transverse cut (Fig. 431). The blood from the wound, which is dressed with iguana fat, is collected into a koolamon, whence at night, remote from the sufferer, a few drops or clots are given to each of the women gathered round, the idea being that by this means the wound will heal all the quicker, and the women will themselves benefit by so doing.”

Roth rightly compared practices like these this to other “sects” around the world. He in no way claimed or inferred as you are attempting to do that it was a widespread practice throughout all the Aboriginal nations.

Of course Roth also makes the point that “It must be borne in mind that the forcible laceration and enlargement of the vaginal orifice, i.e., female-introcision (sects. 305-309), only takes place in those districts where male-introcision is practised.”

As to the idea propagated by yourself that the scars on the heads of aboriginal women were solely inflicted by men:

“In the Boulia District, however, women fight among themselves on the same general principles as the men, using the smaller vai'ieties of boomerang rarely, and fighting-poles generally: never with any other implements or weapons. The fighting-pole (sect. 255) is really a sort of thick heavy pole, often as much as 4 feet long on an average, and very cumber- some to wield, even when used in the orthodox manner by being held in the hands at one extremity and swung vertically over the head from behind forwards. The encounter progresses somewhat after this fashion (I"ig. 340) : One of the combatants with her hands between her knees, supposing that only one stick is available, ducks her head slightly—almost in the position of a schoolboy playing leap-frog—and waits for her adversary's blow, which she receives on the top of the head. The attitudes are now reversed, and the one just attacked is now the attacking party. Blow for blow is thus alternated until one of them gives in, which is generally the case after three or four hits. Great animal pluck is sometimes displayed, and though one of them may fall temporarily stunned, she will soon recover herself as ready as not to continue the fight ; blood also may often be drawn.”

In a separate ceremony:

“...while this performance is going on, each woman can exercise her right of punishing any man who may have ill-treated, abused, or " hammered" her, and for whom she may have waited months or perhaps years to chastise : for, as each pair appear round the corner at the entrance exposed to her view, the woman and any of her female friends may take a fighting-pole and belabour the particular culprit to their hearts' content, the delinquent not being allowed to retaliate in any way whatsoever...”

Finally to gladden your little heart...

“I have no evidence as to any practice of masturbation or sodomy anywhere among the North-West-Central Queensland aboriginals."

Steele,
Good to see that you have finally realized that the violence is cultural, however your psychological observations are not yet up to 101 graduation standards, keep trying.

Issy,

The estimate for non-combatants killed during the Korean War is 1.2 million, many were women and children. That is the reference you asked for.

"AUSTRALIAN and British soldiers fighting in the Korean War looted and burnt villages, shot dead wounded enemy soldiers, and killed Korean civilians and prisoners of war in cold blood, according to new accounts by veterans of the conflict. 17 June 2011"

Goebbels,
That’s not a reference, go back to school.
Must have been the iconic single shot .22 Lithgow, got one myself for old times sake.

Dear Is Mise,

Then the brutal and violent floggings of transgressors and convicts at Botany Bay which so appalled the Aborigines of the area were just as much a representation of English culture.
