Fenestella
Banned
During and after the Manchu conquest of China, their agenda included the imposition of the queue and the ban on foot-binding; they succeeded in the former through extreme violence and failed in the latter due to lack of will.
If somehow, they viewed foot-binding as a worse sign of insubordination and nonconformity, and directed their ruthless efforts towards the ban on foot-binding rather than imposing the queue, what kind of resistance would they meet?
Would they marginalize the practice of foot-binding, or even eradicate it like the later reformers did?
