Fashion 

In the article “Women are silenced through laws, traditions.” by Dawn Karachi Pakistan shows how laws and fashion such as chinese foot binding have shut women out. He focuses alot of how due to the suppression of women voices sexual violence is more prominent. That is because individuals who have misogynistic beliefs normalize or do not acknowledge it. Homeward bound: My Chinese grandmother’s tiny feet point the way toward a heritage I never knew By janet wu talks about the effect of having a member who abided by these laws and how there is a disconnect between them. She talks about a physical distance being put in place as her grandmother was foot bound and was physically restricted. The next thing she talks about is mentally and culturally. Because she is not used to the freedom and the liberty her granddaughter has it was hard to connect with her in a mentality basis and a cultural basis and practices such as what she went through were normalized as well as laws to keep her in place. Both articles compliment each other quite well as we get the logical understanding of laws and practices and then the emotional disconnect that is caused because of them.
