You may not feel empowered by heels but some other people might? Emotional responses to things don't have to have a logical basis to be legitimate.

I guess I'm arguing that a feeling does not necessarily equal empowerment. You can feel "empowered" without actually *being* empowered. I think if more people demanded actual empowerment rather than being satisfied by feeling empowered, we'd all be better off.

Holy shit, that's so succinctly put, thank you.

I think when people talk about empowerment in terms of clothing, etc. they're pretty much exclusively talking about the feeling of being empowered.

Feeling empowered and fighting for tangible empowerment are not mutually exclusive.
