this family needs a Melissa Pondebrat verbal spanking...
like, your granddaughter/ half-sister is depressed enought to atemp suicide MULTIPLE TIMES. Go help her, talk to her!! but nooooo!!! Only when she is "well" enough to basically deal with everything herself THEN you decide to get revenge "How dare you torture my family member for years right under my nose with me doing nothing!? You shall be ruined for getting caught basically.."
just how fucking obtuse can you be!?you are having dinner and the person you are dishing all night couldn't even eat!!! And you wouldn't even notice if she didn't say out right!???
Being alone is better than that fucking family! And they act so generous when doing the less than the bare minimum!!
"Oh, look we fired the woman who didn't feed you properly for years! Oh look, we cleaned up the place we forbid you from going to!"
what is she supposed to do? cry her heart out cause you aren't actively treating her like trash!?
Reagan: Oh, It's just her period! Why didn't she tell me?
Me: Oh, I'm sorry? Was she supposed to be thinking about your feelings when I'm flooded with hormones, bleeding, swollen, and married to an insecure asshole?
FYI: Just because a woman is in her period doesn't mean she is irrational, or that her complains aren't 100% valid(unless she says so). She's just already stressed out and sensitive (think: final project, very little sleep, and a very insistent headache, it's that sort of feeling)
Ok a lot of people made some really good point BUT the gist of it is that corsets are not the almighty villain depicted in midia since the 1900s.
1- the way they constructed, though, wore garments was diferent. Everything was made to measure (no "standard" sizes) with multiple panels, laces, paddings, criolines,underskirts, petitcoats It was a multi-layered production. nothing was really confortable, but nowhere near "constant torture level"
2- corsets are seasoned. Continuing with a diferent relationship with clothes. Stays and corsets were meant to be seasoned to the shape of the wearer (like a new shoe that you wear inside the house with sock a couple of times so it doesn't hurt you later)
3- Every woman wore them. though a bit shorter front lacing, even maids wore corsets. factory women during the industrial revolution, hard working women with very little.
4- those wasp thin waists are a lie! Our knowlegde of how thin those waits were come from some unreliable sources. Paintings aren't exact depictions of reallity, but even the Edwardian era (1900s) was not totally honest. In some manual version of photoshop the waists were partialy obscured with ink after the photo or dark side panel in the dress. that and a fuzzy dark backgroud and voilá. A waist thinner than a Kardashians!
5- People wear them today! there are still corset shops, corset enthusiasts and corset users (historical and modern) They are alive and well, some with youtube channels about it look it up!
there are more point but this post is insane long already. if anyone has more (or even fact- based contrapoint) leave as a reply ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I learn so much with this types of comments, thank you uwu
im glad someone pointed this out cuz i myself sometimes wear corsets and ive read alot about them..
