@rosiehharte: Women in the 16th and 17th centuries wore huge skirts called French farthingales, but could they actually move in them? And why did men hate them?

Forced to wear a tight skirt, born to wear wide dresses that prevent anyone near me.

I thought it was because men would try to touch and get as close to them as possible and these made it harder to be graped

Audibly laughed at the idea of “eclipsing” everyone around me with a skirt

A yoga instructor once said that it's okay to "take up space" & it resonates bc church asked me to be quiet & made me feel small

I thought it was for ladies to relieve themselves easily and thats also why they wore high heels.

also I'm not sure if this is accurate but I believe another reason for the size is they could put perfume inside so when they walk in releases some of it.
