Damaged goods.

In this world, a female doesn't have much in the ways of rights or an equal say in things. So a female's best bet is to find herself a husband who will take care of her. For a female to attract a male who will be most likely to take care of her and cherish her a female has to practicaly “sell” herself by showing she has “wife like qualities”. Her ability to preform both practicaly, (cooking, cleaning, raising children, good shopping skills, ect.) and sensualy, (Sexual performance, comforting, supportive, ect.)
The reason Mesi is so down on herself is because since she's had her tounge cut out and her left leg amputated she is viewed by most males as “damaged goods”. One way to think of this is like so…
You go out to buy a car. You will be expected to pay for and care for this car for the next 40 years. Do you buy the pick-up with all it's options installed, or do you buy the pick-up that's got the stereo removed and it's missing the driver's side door? Both trucks cost the same. Naturaly, most guys would buy the car with no missing parts. Of course you can't really compare females to cars, but it's just an example.
And before any hate mail comes my way, I have no problems with people who are handicaped. I just wanted to add some flavor to this story arc by introducing an amputee character.
