#every culture has something done to girl that ranges from painful to horribly mutilating

[a-room-of-my-own]

It's impossible to find a video about fashion history without an airhead who self-identifies as a fashion historian - because she LARPs on week-ends and owns a sewing machine - inserting a 5 minutes tirade in defense of corsets.

#but why women wore it for centuries #GIRL #do you want to talk about foot binding? #because that happened for like a thousand years #or genital mutilation #or breast ironing #or forced feeding #all done by women for centuries #enforced by women on little girls #corsets literally caused chlorosis #and other health issues #some mothers forced their daughter to sleep in a tight corset and would tie their hands at night so they couldn't take it off #how fucking dense must you be to be unable to understand that when a woman's only value is in what men have decided is beautiful #she will torture herself and others to reach this status #every culture has something done to girl that ranges from painful to horribly mutilating #either to make them attractive to men #or pure in the eyes of men #it's everywhere #and it has nothing to do with women being 'stupid' #but with fucking patriarchal oppression #go wear corsets in a public park pretending you're Ariel at 38 years old but spare us your opinions gooooood
