no but women are so badass okay
because there will inevitably come a point in every woman’s life where she wakes up in a pool of her own blood and her reaction will be dammit now i have to do laundry
that is some suave superhero shit and you won’t ever be able to convince me otherwise

Here’s my guide to Corset Silhouettes. Poorly drawn by me! =D
Victorian Hourglass: The standard shape people think when they hear “corset”. This is the curvy oh so feminine shape ladies aim for when they choose to start corsetting.
Wasp waist: A rather forgiving shape, I think. The shape gives room for one’s ribs while still bringing the waist. This is a good choice for those concerned about their ability to breathe in a corset or just aren’t interested in attempting to reshape their floating ribs.
U-Shaped: This is the most common shape you’ll find on discount corset sites such as CorsetDeal.com or even Timeless Trends. This is a very gentle, more modern silhouette that doesn’t work well for tight lacing, I personally think. It goes smoothly under modern cut clothing for those wanting not to bring in their waist much, but are interested in looking slimmer in a lovely blouse or dress.
Cone Shaped: My personal favorite, this shape brings in your floating ribs making a very smooth transition to your small waist. If trained properly, I think it can be a very dramatic change and can be longer lasting without the corset due to the change in your rib shape.
Pipe-Stem Waist: NOT FOR BEGINNERS. This corset is like the Victorian Hourglass, except it adds 1/2 inch up to 2 inch of a pipe-like shape in the middle. This pushes your rib cage up and lengthens your waist section. It takes a very very long time and lots of work to attempt such a demanding corset.
Edwardian S-Curve: You won’t find many corset makers who will make this exact corset due to the danger it is to your spine. I love the silhouette created by this corset, it pushes your chest out, curving your lower back in dramatically to push out your ass making a very lovely appearance, I think. It gives a sort of sway-back to it’s wearers. You will only find inspired versions of this corset.

//I wish that shit worked in real like like “oh shit genderbend m!a now you’re the other gender for like 3 days woohoo have fun~” and then I just go back to normal once the time’s over. that would be fucking beautiful//-throws magic anons at you so that what you want is possible-//no kidding. I would love to be a guy, and wear vests and waistcoats and shit and look hot as hell for a few days, then go back to my skinny jeans and corsets once I’m done…. >.>

I love seeing people deal with the same thoughts that I have. I really helps.
First female enlisted sailor, and the first woman allowed to serve in the US military as a woman (rather than dressed as a man): Loretta Perfectus Walsh. She also became the first female Chief on March 21, 1917. This was before she could even vote, since the nineteenth amendment didn’t pass until 1920.
Hooyah, Chief Walsh!

Really think this is not a “Girl” problem. More like a “I like to read books and talk about them with other people” problem.
I had this sent in by a fan of the Ouroboros Cycle series who also asked when the next book in the series is coming out. The answer from my publisher is that the start of next year is when you can pick up Book Two.
I think this could be considered a reference…
Reference, indeed.
Oh.
i’m laughing really hard some of these are just so unnecessarily complicated and ridiculous like

…Fucking Olympics.
Can that be a thing? Like, now?

Discworld Meme; One/Two Wizards
Eskarina “Esk” Smith
“Esk looked down at his face. She loved her brothers, when she reminded herself to, in a dutiful sort of way, although she generally remembered them as a collection of loud noises in trousers. But there was something awfully pig-like and unpleasant about the way Gulta was staring up at her, as though she had personally insulted him. She felt her body start to tingle, and the world suddenly seemed very sharp and clear. (…)
He looked, she thought, exactly like a small angry pig.
Cern’s screams brought Granny and his parents first to the back door and then running down the cinder path.
Esk was perched in the fork of the apple tree, an expression of dreamy contemplation on her face. Cern was hiding behind the tree, his face a mere rim around a red, tonsil-vibrating bawl. Gulta was sitting rather bewildered in a pile of clothing that no longer fitted him, wrinkling his snout.
Granny strode up to the tree until her hooked nose was level with Esk’s.
“Turning people into pigs is not allowed,” she hissed. “Even brothers.”
“I didn’t do it, it just happened. Anyway, you must admit it’s a better shape for him,” said Esk evenly.”
- Terry Pratchett, “Equal Rites”

↳ The Nac Mac Feegle
( also called Pictsies, the Wee Free Men, the Little Men and ‘Person or Persons Unknown, Believed to Be Armed)
The Nac Mac Feegle are the most dangerous of the fairy races, particularly when drunk. They love drinking, fighting and stealing, and will in fact steal anything that is not nailed down. If it is nailed down, they will steal the nails as well.
The average Feegle man (Feegle women are rare - see later) is about six inches high, red-haired, his skin turned blue with tattoos and the dye called woad and, since you’re this close, he’s probably about to hit you.
