Korean feminist vid - Escape the Corset

Amazing, I love this 😍

Also, she is NOT fat. Maybe she gained a little weight.

My understanding is that "beauty culture' is very complusory in Korea.

I can definitely get behind never pestering women about their appearance.

When I talk to anyone, I don't steer the conversation to their appearance unless it's to say something nice.

It's just rude to be like "ew, why do you look like that?"

You would think no one would be so thoughtless and idiotic, but I've definitely had people point out "flaws" on my skin for no apparent reason. Demand an answer for why it's like that.

How should I know? I'm not some skin expert.

They're not even children. These are people who are way too old to be so clueless about tact.

Do I ever tell them they look like the product of generations of incest? Do I demand they tell me whether their family tree is nothing but tree truck? I do not.

interesting.

what struck me is how cartoon-character-like she looked with her "corset"

and how, when she removed it, she regained a sense of presence and "weight"

she definitely appeared more comfortable, more relaxed, more embodied.

it makes me wonder how much fawning women do to try to escape the possibility of violence from a man, someone who is much larger and possibly physically stronger

even though we know fawning doesn't stop them

and that the weakest among us, children, are often the targets of male violence.

i know this isn't exactly the discussion you were referring to

but i just wanted to jot down my initial impressions.

some of this conditioning run REALLY deep, like DNA deep, i think. it makes me really happy when woman can feel comfortable in their own skin...i wish that for every girl and woman.
