Hats *always* served a useful function. Corset were and are a creation of
fashion (i.e., men who hate/fear women, and thereby try to make them
waste their time & minds by trying to meet bizarre artificial concepts
of "beauty" created by the hateful & jaded.) 

Don't wear corsets, Janice!

Well, since I'm on the left, I might as well make it verse
As long as it   doesn't lead to a curse
Or even worse, to a hearse.

# Blessings,

The same to you, and more

Etymology, n.:
	Some early etymological scholars come up with derivations that
were hard for the public to believe.  The term "etymology" was formed
from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy"
("study of").  It meant "the study of things that are hard to swallow."
