There is something so beautiful about woman dressed in historical clothing that’s usually only worn by men.

Like, a man wearing historical fashion: eh, ok I guess, I mean it’s still cool cause- history! but still just ok...

But a woman: More beautiful than Aphrodite, a queen! I aspire to look like this. Woman, honestly, can pull of historical men’s historical fashion so well, and they all look like queens and badasses.

Okay so- wierd question but...

Did female sailors during the age of sail, etc, bind themselves when trying to appear like a man?

Because I know the obvious answer is duhh!! But also a common trope in sea shanties or stories about female sailors is that “the wind blew off the buttons of their shirt and there appeared their breasts.. yada yada” (which also most likely was impacted by many sailors fantasy of there being a woman on board..) and so if they were bound and their shirt came undone their tits wouldn’t just like- be in full view.

Also another thing I recall is female pirates would often show their breasts to the men they were about to kill to tell them they would in fact be killed by- a woman! Buttttt..

All I can thing of is how uncomfortable that would be. If you’re gonna be swashbuckling enemies and doing all this stuff running around and such, you probably want some support!

DID FEMALE PIRATES WEAR SPORTS BRAS?!!!

Really yearning today, folks.

Is it for the sea, is it for a lover, is it for both? I dont know.

So I made a sea shanty playlist that has songs that either: tell of women at sea or have women singing in it. (And some songs have both, both is good)
