Corsets and heels - Pain in the name of beauty?

Yes, I own a corset! And lots of pairs of heels.. Wearing these things distort my figure, the corset pulls me in at the waist, giving me an hourglass figure which most women desire and is desired so much because it is what we recognise as 'beautiful' in this day and age. It also emphasises the width of the hips and pushes up the breasts to emphasize sexual attraction, again, making the woman feel beautiful and attractive to the opposite sex. High heels put pressure on the balls of your feet and can shorten the ligament in your calf if you wear heels too often, meaning you won't be able to flatten your feet properly as they will have adapted to the pressure of wearing heels. Corsets are tight around the body and heels hurt the feet - why do we insist upon putting ourselves through this pain in the name of beauty? All to boost our self esteem and because our warped views of beauty tell us this is desirable! Basically, we aim to please... /:
