  • I’m actually quite interested in dress history. I’m an engineer at heart and clothing is fundamentally also an engineering problem (and design of course). It’s an area of engineering that was always dominated by women and you can sometimes see the novel approaches that brings.

    For example historical corsets were actually quite comfortable when fitted right. One reason why is actually breast support. Predecessors to the modern Bra did exist but were not in fashion as a more compressed looking bust and later a shaped silhouette was in fashion.

    Also it’s cool what tricks one can use to form the silhouette without extremely compressing the waist (which is how many modern people often think is the function of a corset).

    I recommend Bernadettes channel on this topic: link

    Because Humor can be coping mechanism also for stuff there are not involved with. Some people need to laugh at tragedy.

    Edit: you are saying “not your pain” as if empathy does not exist. We sometimes need to distance ourselves from tragedy and some do this with humor.
