Nothing changes in targeting young women to deny and defy their biology. Breast binding today is reminiscent of the late Victorian era, where a tiny waist was the ardent desire of young women, achieved by tightening the stays on a corset designed for the job; fainting was not uncommon. My own grandmother’s wedding dress shows she had an 18 “ waist; my grandfather could encircle both hands around it. The Royal College of Surgeons reported that “compressing the abdominal organs could cause poor digestion and over time the back muscles could atrophy. Long term tight lacing led to the rib cage becoming deformed”. It all sounds remarkably familiar. The corsets were eventually banned - time for breast binders to go the same way.
