Facts. Women of that time weren’t dumb, and corsets don’t have the effect that the author is implying :///
pretty sure they push down your intestines though.
Yes, and so does pregnancy but guess what, after you've had your baby your lungs aren't permanently super glued to your ribcage. Corsets will shifts your organs but once you take the corset off they'll just shift back, its not dangerous at all. Literally hundreds of historical reproduction actresses wear corsets everyday, they also ride horses, climb mountains, farm, and all sorts of other manual labor and they're perfectly fine, healthy and comfortable.
Sure? Intestines aren’t specifically always in one place tho…
The absolute slander that's going on against corsets is genuinely frustrating me, it just makes it all the more obvious the author didnt do any actual research :/
