I had to study this in school, and my teacher showed us even worse pictures that even made one girl throw up.

I don’t know why someone would teach kids about something as gross and stupid as foot binding

I totally agree with you, I think someone up there (dosy) needs to stop being so arrogant and have some respect for all those people that actually did have to suffer for something that really..didnt look very nice..

The story about the emperor is a cute cover for the ugly truth: foot binding was merely a technique for keeping women “docile,” subservient, and less likely to stray sexually (which, of course, stems from the belief that women’s bodies belong to men).

The upper classes were more affected because of simple economics. A wealthier family would be more likely to rid themselves of (an otherwise burdensome) daughter to a man who could support a wife who would be unable to perform hard domestic labor. Female children were, and still often are, viewed in terms of their economic value to the family unit.

Thankfully, the misogynistic practice of foot binding died early in the 20th century, but millions of girls and women today in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America are living without some or all of their external genitalia because of the continuing horror of female genital mutilation. Google it, it’s one of the greatest human rights violations of our time.

this stuff is so discusting. i read a book about the chinese in this era and how they had to do this and like.. it said that when the girl had to do it, wen she first started it (she started at an older age than 4 to 7.) she said it was extremely painful and she cried all the time for hours. and also she said she cud feel her toe break.. and then another.. and another, till all were broken. and the pain nvr stopped. even wen she was not walking on them the pain never stopped..
it is just discusting. it is so demeaning to women i think men never had to go through this pain so they had no idea what it felt like yet they made women go through it .. idk i know it was their culture but it amazes me that someone wud really go to these great lengths to make women “perfect” or what ever.
