i mean i get the vibe you're feeling, but at the same time, call me a man with foot binding fetish bc in media, uncomfortable heels look hot af. giggity!

[(Anonymous)]

I hate the word uncomfy. It is very infantalizing and just strikes my brain as gross.

[(Anonymous)]

Your comment made me feel uncomfy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yours too! We are the same.

[(Anonymous)]

Great, we shall have a summer wedding.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a lesbian who regularly wears pleasers because 1) they are sexy, and 2) they make me feel sexy!

I think we can move away from comparing optional fashion choices to the horror that is footbinding.

[(Anonymous)]

The argument could be made that the base idea if feeling 'sexy' is male gaze because you were raised in the patriarchy etc etc. Its not as simple as "I'm a lesbian so no."

By this logic no woman has agency and everyone should wear gray sacks that are neither flattering not comfortable.

Re: DA

[greghousesgf]

wasn't that show What Not To Wear based on that concept?

[(Anonymous)]

Ayrt
God forbid women have kinks and express their sexuality! This secret made me want to dig out my old Hades heels.

[(Anonymous)]

I never wear them because I am unsteady on my feet already, but yeah, some people do enjoy wearing them. It's all the cultural baggage around them I hate, not the shoes themselves. Just like cosmetics, really.

[philstar22]

I hate heels personally. I don't wear them. But I also find them sexy. And I know lots of women who genuinely enjoy wearing them. People get to wear what they want. Nothing we do can ever be entirely devoid of all the things that come with culture, including sexist traditions. But sexism isn't about individual choice. It is about culture, it is about forcing women, it is about oppression and power vs. a lack of power and exploitation.

It could just as easily be said that a dislike of heels stems from sexist culture. Because again, no choice is ever completely devoid of the culture we grow up around.

[(Anonymous)]

No one is forced to wear heels, and wearing heels doesn’t mean one is submitting to the patriarchy.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe your comparison would be half decent if infants and toddlers were forced to wear heels instead of it being an optional fashion decision made by (usually) adult women.

I find the transition from men wearing heels to it being a primarily female aesthetic fascinating, because lbr, it was probably an exercise in adopting men's fashion in order to look for the job you want...aka power for women. some studies have it being popularized for women along with other traditionally male pastimes and appearances like short hair and smoking. and then like many many things, society adjusted so that it no longer signified male class status and only signified something "lessor" but ~necessary~ in the aesthetics of women (but not short hair and smoking which is so interesting to me).

but for that reason, i think calling heels modern footbinding is ignorant at best, and a sign of an incredibly dull and insipid critical thought process at worst. you can say a lot about social prescriptions and women's fashion and how it relats to oppression, but a lot of women's fashion was and is in fact directed by women, and it's doesn't behoove anyone to ignore that. like i can't be certain Henry II never said "Catherine you look so hot in my heels" but I don't think that's why she wore them to their wedding.

It really, really depends on the heels. I have a pair of boots with 5 inch heels that are actually extremely comfortable and easy to walk in. I also have some shoes with much lower heels that suck and are wobbly AF.
