It’s excruciating to have them unbound like this for long. And the last company in China stopped making the special little shoes for bound feet in the 90s, I believe. It’s not too long ago at all.

Widely practiced in China until the early 20th c, at least among some mainly upper class women and upper class wannabe’s. It was yet another offense by men against women, Chinese men having what we would consider a bizarre fetish for tiny feet. Compare to modern men’s view of large breasts, and so on. Can you think of any instances where women commonly forced men to alter their bodies because none come to mind for me. This was outlawed when China became a republic after about 1910, though some women with bound feet lived well into the 20th century.

What was the POINT of this?

Absolutely mind boggling that this was commonplace as recently as 50-100 years ago

I wonder if some day in the far future, people will marvel that women used to cut their breasts open and insert bags.

Think about all the unlogical things we do throughout the decades.
