Corsets can be cool, just so long as they're not taken to extremes. (They can give you some serious health issues if taken too far. They also start looking kind of scary when they're tied too tightly -- no one should have a 16 inch waist. x.x)

Basically my opinion on them, or with anything else. Moderation is the key. I just find it interesting that what's typically looked at as a symbol of female oppression has actually been adopted by some as a way of empowering themselves - of feeling good, rather than repressed. It's a curious wee thing.
