This thread is for feet fetishists. These are called lotus feet.

They were an intentional alteration of feet bone structure done to girls in ancient china. Incredibly cruel standard of beauty imposed on women. The custom moved from the higher classes to the lower ones, and despite several emperors attempting to end it , they failed, until a century ago with the development of urban life.

I wonder which gender related customs of ours today will be looked at as ruthless by future generations.
