lack of citations and tons of weird assertions in this article
edits2g half this article was written by a guy with a fetish for the object. vague assertions about the origins of it in "early church times" alongside concrete assertions that it was first worn by Florence Nightingale. extremely weird tone in paragraph about decline of use of the object re: some people don't want gendered uniforms. just a strange article low key 2603:7080:B63F:F95F:5EFF:2D31:C39A:ACD (talk) 11:05, 27 October 2025 (UTC)
