I guess when I think of corsets I automatically think of the corsets of old, and assume others do too. (Surely they only really exist presently within the realm of wedding dressage, Anne Summers and fetish wear?)
Perhaps I should have alluded to Chinese foot binding instead....

the realm of wedding dressage, Anne Summers and fetish wear
if you extend the realm of fetish to club wear and bridal to ballgowns that does cover a large proportion of the (mostly female) population...
fwiw when I think about high heels I do definitely relate it to foot binding on some level - both have aspects of sexual objectification, being incapacitated so you can't run away, and being so wealthy you are above needing to walk/work.
hoefla
I have no issue with you hating high heels, men in smart shoes but no socks etc.
I was responding to this - "One day they'll be looked back upon quizzically the way we now view corsets". If you'd said "the way I view corsets" or "the way we now view those rib-wrecking 17th century corsets" I wouldn't have made a squeak.
Call it a personal pet hate, if you like.
