It is never appropriate to sit back on one’s chair such that less than four legs rest upon the ground, Dorothy. One mustn’t do that. It is taboo.
It is never appropriate to wear one’s corset untied such that one’s diaphragm has adequate freedom of movement. It is not the woman’s place in society to be comfortable. Nor is it the man’s, for he must always strangle himself in a tie and constrict his torso into a rigid suit.
Who made these rules? It is never appropriate to ask such questions. The benefit from enlightenment will never outweigh the cost.

This reminds me of something we've been talking about in my geology class lately: you can't know what benefits a specific line of inquiry will have until you travel that road and see where it can take you. It's impossible to do risk vs. reward analysis without knowing what you're going to be discovering....Could the same be true of ties and corsets?!
ReplyDeleteLove that last line. Corsets suck.
