Scold's Bridle 1.0

HOW MEN IN THE MIDDLE AGES DEALT WITH GOSSIPING WIVES

By designing a torture device to "scold" women for their troublesome speech

“For a long time, still, bodily, within her body she has answered the harassment, the familial conjugal venture of domestication, the repeated attempts to castrate her. Woman, who has run her tongue ten thousand times seven times around her mouth before not speaking, either dies of it or knows her tongue and her mouth better than anyone. Now, I-woman am going to blow up the Law: a possible and inescapable explosion from now on; let it happen, right now, in language.”
