- swarnie 5y agoI'm not sure anyone has a clue what you're on about. Care to expand?
- throwaway6734 5y agoI'm assuming op meant "foot binding". Not sure the relevance though
- mountainriver 5y agoFoot bidding is actually a practice from 14th century China in which men would place bids to see a woman’s foot. The winner would receive a hand painted portrait of the foot.
- fridif 5y agoSorry, realized I never replied. First, yes, I made a typo and meant to say "foot binding". The reason I mentioned this is because foot binding originally began as a cultural practice among a small group of people in the 10th century. By the time of the Qing dynasty (1644-1912), most social classes were practicing foot binding. Thus, what I'm trying to say is that the Finns are adopting a cultural practice (pronouns in their twitter bio) as a result of being exposed to another group of people doing it. The reasons for why they chose to adopt it, though....
