Do you love women’s clothing? Perhaps you are a sissy or a cross dresser? Maybe you are a man who would like to become more in touch with your feminine side? You just love corsets but have you ever heard of a fainting couch and how they relate to corsets? Maybe you suffer with wide feet but do you have any knowledge on feet binding? Whatever your individual circumstance it might behoove you to learn a little history.
Are you of the assumption that women’s attire should be comfortable just because of the fabric it is made with? This would be a misconception the truth of the matter is for most of history woman’s attire was designed deliberately to adhere with Moral laws of religious institutions. Women’s clothing was purposely constructed for means of chastity and confining women, which has dominated women’s fashions for centuries. Religious movements dating back to 1558 influenced dress codes and equated dress to chastity and morality.
Throughout history clothing has been structured by social status and cultural influences. Dress for women has always been more confining and concealing than men’s ware. In my opinion, any man wanting to be feminized should know that Men were largely responsible for women’s fashions and that in European countries and early America ~ Fashion over Comfort ruled clothing styles up until the 1920’s when the Flapper era took over freeing women to some degree of restrictions.
However, during the 1930’s conservative clothing would return and Man would still dominate women’s dress long after women’s rights movements and feminist were burning bras.
This is not to say there has not been many influential women along the way who have been responsible in trend setting, Coco Chanel for instance, who’s designs were inspired by men’s ware stated “Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury” words of Wisdom according to most Women today!
Even in the 21st century fashion vs. comfort is still a hot topic amongst women. Today women have been working on designing high heels that are said to be more comfortable and in designing clothing that is loose yet sexy, simple yet stylish. There are more women today in the Fashion industry than ever before in history! Sadly, places preoccupied and ruled by cultural traditions, religious beliefs and male dominated societies still dictate how women should dress.
So if you want to embrace feminism to the fullest then you will need to do some research beginning with a personalized FemDom lesson with yours truly,
