Doing away with this type of culture actually helped everyone. “Thanks to some movement that was against this practice, it could ultimately be banished… The main reason against foot binding was suffering felt by the women in their lives… Finally in 1911 through the revolution of San Yat Sen, the tradition {and culture} of foot binding was totally banned” (Foot Binding 1). Foot binding was a very gruesome process and caused immense amounts of pain. Some girls would try and run away from their mothers so they wouldn’t have to get their feet bound. Doing away with this culture also helped out men. They didn’t have to worry about who to marry, what their parents would think, and what everyone else would think. It helped them by knowing that they could marry who they wanted, not who their parents intended for them to marry. Foot binding in the Chinese culture is a great example of how taking away their culture didn’t hurt them personally. Then again, mother’s that had their feet bound would want to have their daughters’ bound. Therefore, this ripped away on the inside of the women that loved this
