Okay
Sorry but Wikipedia is NOT a reliable source, even middle schoolers know this. The reason for that is because anybody can edit that page as they like, in which most of the time are incorrect information. Please don’t rely on that page for information, if you’re ever in college your professor will definitely notice and fail you. Just a heads up;)
I know this has nothing to do with me, but the idea that Wikipedia gives out incorrect information due to it being easily edited is actually untrue. From an actual college student, Wikipedia articles are actually very helpful in giving out beginning sources and general background knowledge. The editors of wiki are a lot more strict nowadays and are very quick to catch misinformation. TBH I do miss the good ol days where you could just edit some millonaire's wiki to say they fucked their mom or something.
omg you wrote a lot I am give you a nice applause for you holy lord
Lmaooo, still I personally will not recommend people to take that website 100%. My major is history and wikipedia tend to have errors or be biased asf. I do believe Wikipedia is good for definition but there’s better websites with people will actual degrees yk?
My professor don’t tolerate that website nonetheless my old teachers in high school. Fun enough I took information from Wikipedia in high school and it was wrong
Especially considering the fact she/he is using Wikipedia against people who have degrees who actually have knowledge of fashion history or history of costume 1/2.
Isn’t this the second time you said this because I was done but another person kept talking about this
@cookie thanks for both links !! : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corset_controvers is very and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_tightlacing_on_the_body#Muscles
Any kind of habits has the same biological signal as an addiction (neurology sise) It’s a bit fun to read about women who are proponents of something which damage their health (just like smokers or alcoholic by the way, an opinion doesn’t make science) -
@ print : beware beautiful, not painful doesn’t mean harmless !!!
Not everything in the body can signal it’s going wrong with pain - that why some disease are so hard to find - some changes in body structure takes years to become painful too - in the same manners, lots of substances are toxic or deadly and you can’t not recognize them either, when it comes to substance some even make you feel « good » ?
- Alas pain is not a perfect indicator, far from it !
With all respect too, historians are no doctors, some medical facts can’t be changed
- for exemple, most people nowadays breath in an out 0.5l while lung capacity is actually 2l+ if you ever tried full breathing, using all part of you lung, you’ll soon acertain the benefits ( please do try it’s a wonderful way to keep relax and healthy, there also are more and more studies about benefits for heart health too) - deep full breath is literally impossible with constriction
- Compressing the intestines, or preventing muscles build can’t be good either as you can see in previous links
- Lastly, because some men contributed to the end of corsets, doesn’t makes it fallacy either - not all men are enemies of women - thankfully ! Change in society cannot be brought by only one gender ! So while it might be true that there’s some business influences or gender war behind, I doubt every doctor vouching against corset were on « big men against women » payroll ?
In the end corset once in a while is something a body might endure, but long term or regular use will undoubtedly be harmful
If painful avoid at all costs, and if not, remember to exercise, breath and be mindful of side effects ;)
Me? No. I have been quiet until now :) Probably just because the reply button below my response was used.
Im so tired of this corset SLANDER! Corsets aren't painful at all, in the sense that a well fitted corset has the same societal roles as a comfy bra. The pictures we see of corseted women in victorian age with impossibly thin waists were all using the illusion of photography and lighting, and in some eras, wearing a corset was actually useful as it helped reinforce the back and help with manual labor.
