Shouting in the wind
Apr. 26th, 2013 10:05 pmWelp, I just spent about an hour rewriting the tight lacing will kill you in horrible ways wiki page. It was pretty pathetic. Whoever did it up before cited one or two Victorian doctors for all the dire conditions caused by corsets, then "backed it up" with modern sources that said things like "severe constipation may cause death" or "blockage of this particular artery can cause liver failure" to prove that corsets kill. I'm still not sure if it was a deliberate attempt to make it look like modern scientists have proved that right (who would give that much of a fuck in that direction?), but I responded to them with VALERIE STEELE DISAGREES.
