Keira Knightley has claimed View Overbust Corsets are the reason women were always considered "the weaker sex."
The 23-year-old actress - who has donned the restrictive undergarments in period dramas including "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Duchess" - says the waist cinchers stopped oxygen getting to the brain, making females seem less intelligent than they were.
