Riding Sidesaddle: Propriety, Flexibility, and the Bow-Legged Way

Why were women forced to ride sidesaddle way back when? Every description I've read sounds beyond uncomfortable. And heaven forbid anyone go at a gallop and fly off!



Weren't the skirts of the time more than voluminous enough to accomodate riding face forward? They contained enough material to cloth twenty orphans or so. Must have been awfully hot and heavy to wear and not in any good way.

Women tend to be more flexible if you believe countless Hollywood depictions. Cheerleaders doing splits. Yoga chicks locking their legs behind heads. Guys doing splits to horrible cracking sounds, crotch grabbing, and screams of pain...



Not to be indelicate but don't women have more need to spread their legs wide for giving birth and such? It's not a dirty thing to be ashamed of. What do guys need to spread their legs for?

The cowgirl position = fun in the sack. The cowboy bow-legged walk = funny-looking. What more is there to say?
