Corset discourse really likes to talk in sensationalizing absolutes but historically speaking a corset is just a kind of garment. They could be uncomfortable and painful or they could be well fitted and supportive. They could be hyper-fashionable or they could be brutally practical. You could tightlace them or you could wear them with no reduction whatsoever. Most corsets were probably somewhere in the middle. Like bras. Or shoes. To say they were never perceived as restrictive or used as tools of enforcing dangerous/misogynistic beauty standards is like saying women's shoes never restrict freedom of movement. Patently untrue, but that doesn't mean those shoes have some deeper moral good or evil and it certainly doesn't mean we can use that fact to draw sweeping generalizations about the relationships of entire centuries of women to their own bodies. Corsets, like all clothing, exist in context.

"From the look on your face, I'd say you know him."
I nodded. "Sold him a cannoli when I was in high school."
Connie grunted. "Honey, half of all the women in New Jersey have sold him their cannoli."

Recently I went to one of my favorite museums of all times, the Muskegon Art Museum, and discovered this new bronze by UK artist, Beth Carter, Minotaur Reading. When people think of the myth of the Minotaur it’s almost always in context of his violence, his lust, his impossible body. Here all that is swept away with this monstrous form reading a small golden book. This made me crazy happy to see.

Ladyhawke (1985)
#ladyhawke#such an ideal example of an apology#instead of ‘sorry i hurt you but no i didn’t’#or ‘sorry you were hurt but i didn’t intend that so no i didn’t’#or ‘sorry but you should realise i wasn’t in control of myself so therefore no i didn’t’#or ‘sorry i hurt you but it’s your fault you should have avoided that’#like dude is literally in a werewolf scenario he has an out re: cutting his friend to ribbons by accident climbing out of an icy river#one might expect any number of shitty non-apologies#added to that by nature he’s already a bit of a grumpy asshole anyway as like a baseline personality bc of His Tragic Backstory#and still: as soon as he sees it he asks about it and as soon as he knows it’s IMMEDIATE CONTRITION#no clearer demo of a purpose of amendment than etienne of navarre

Ursula K. Le Guin, October 21, 1929 / 2023
Only in silence the word,
only in dark the light,
only in dying life:
bright the hawk’s flight
on the empty sky.
– The Creation of Éa [from A Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. Le Guin (1968)]
Image: Ursula K. Le Guin, (1968, 1972, 1973, 1990), A Wizard of Earthsea, in Earthsea: The First Four Books, Penguin Books, London, 2016
