Sometimes, I wonder why women want to torture themselves just for the sake of vanity.

A long time ago, women used to wear corset to make themselves look slimmer. I supposed it works, but the torture that the women go through, not being able to breath properly, cracked ribcage, and bruised waist. And guess what? Nowadays women are wearing tight clothes (perhaps not as tight as corsets), such as skinny jeans, that are not very good for the hipbones.

Long ago in China, women had to bind their feet to make them so tiny to appear more attractive to the men. The process of binding the feet is so painful, because in order to make the feet into the shape that is considered desireable, the bindings are done so tightly that the bones in the feet will break. And now, women are again torturing their feet by wearing shoes (stilettos, heels, pumps) to their legs and feet look desireable.

Thinking about it, it really makes me wonder if vanity is worth all this pain (though I admit the lure of a pair of sexy heels that will make your legs look amazing is pretty darn strong).
