VVV E: Sounds like that uppity young lady was suffering from a case of Female hysteria

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_hysteria

quote:

Another cause was thought to be the retention of female semen, thought to mingle with male semen during intercourse. This was believed to be stored in the womb. Hysteria was referred to as "the widow's disease", since the female semen was believed to turn venomous if not released through regular climax or intercourse.

Good ole 19th century.

Gross. Can you imagine going straight from that to being pregnant?

I believe I heard somewhere that opponents of corseting sometimes called tight-lacing "the baby-killer" for reasons I'm sure you can imagine.

e. holy poo poo I just found a thing :stare:

Corset controversy

quote:

The next Saturday, "Staylace" offered her experience:[24]

Girl's corset
MADAM, — I think I can give some information to "Corset" that will be useful. Nearly a year ago a niece of mine visited me from the country to have the finishing touches put on her education. I was greatly shocked by her appearance. She was fifteen years of age, and had evidently “run wild”. She had never worn corsets, and her figure was very clumsy, her waist actually measuring 25 inches. I had at once a pair of heavily-boned stays made, in which I laced her down to 22 inches. I made her wear the stays by night as well as by day, so that the figure might not expand during the seven or eight hours of sleep. At the end of the month, when the figure became accustomed to the tightness, I had another pair made much smaller round the waist, but quite easy over the hips and chest. In these I reduced her half an inch a month until I brought her waist down to eighteen inches, which I think is small enough.

A few weeks later, "Staylace" submitted excerpts from her niece's diary from the prior year.[24]

June 5. — Yesterday aunt told me she was going to make me wear stays. Didn't like the idea, I have never worn even a tight-fitting dress. Aunt measured my waist and said I was “horrid clumsy.” She then laced me into a pair of stays. I shall never forget the sensation. I felt as if I was all crushed in. I could not bend, but had to sit up as stiff as a pole, and how my back ached! I longed for bed time, but that was no good. My aunt would not take them off, though I begged her to. What a night! I couldn't sleep. I tossed about, and every moment the pain seemed to increase.

June 9. — My stays hurt me worse than ever last night. I cut the laces. What a jolly night's sleep I had, but I caught it this morning. As soon as my aunt laced me up she punished me severely. I guess I'll think twice before cutting the laces again.

July 7. — I had a smaller pair of stays put on yesterday. They hurt me horribly at night. I cut the laces. My aunt again punished me, this time very severely. She says if I again offend she will make me remember. I guess I'll remember as it is.

April 10. — When I think of what I suffered with my stays, it seems very strange that they don't hurt me now. My waist is only 18 inches, and feels more comfortable than when I was squeezed in only a couple of inches. In fact, I think I enjoy the feeling of tightness. I know when I take off my stays to wash, I don't feel comfortable till I get them on again. And then I do guess my figure is sweet. Why, half the girls I know look like old dowdies. I guess my aunt was right, though I did think she was too horrid cruel.

And other letters to the editor describe whipping and chaining girls up at night so they don't cut their laces :catstare:

Good ole 19th century.

Also when women get "the vapors" it's because of their female semen fermenting or some poo poo and the fumes going into their brains.

Seems legit

Hippocrates taught that the womb could move out of place and wander around the body. Plato writes:

quote:

In the middle of the flanks of women lies the womb, a female viscus, closely resembling an animal; for it is moved of itself hither and thither in the flanks, also upwards in a direct line to below the cartilage of the thorax, and also obliquely to the right or to the left, either to the liver or the spleen, and it likewise is subject to prolapsus downwards, and in a word, it is altogether erratic. It delights also in fragrant smells, and advances towards them; and it has an aversion to fetid smells, and flees from them; and, on the whole, the womb is like an animal within an animal.

It was thought to casue symptoms of illness by putting pressure on other organs and arteries and led to a wide variety of health problems.

Because like everything the internet latched onto they took it too far.

They took the base idea of "Oh hey pinup girls used to be curvy back in the day" and took it to "SO IF I LOOK LIKE A SPHERE I'M BASICALLY A PINUP GIRL!"
