| 2010 "Burn your Heels" Day of Patriarchial Freedom May 30, 2010
The high heel has been a central battleground of sexual politics ever since the emergence of the women’s liberation movement of the 1970s.
Many second-wave feminists rejected what they regarded as constricting standards of female beauty, created for the subordination and objectifying of women and self-perpetuated by reproductive competition and women's own aesthetics.
Some feminists argue that the high heels were designed to make woman helpless and vulnerable, perpetuating the gender role of males as protectors of the slowly staggering women.
High heels have also been blamed for reducing the woman into a sex object, by sacrificing practical comfort in favor of an alleged increase in sex appeal.
Chinese concubines and Turkish odalisques wore high shoes, prompting scholars to speculate if heels were used not only for aesthetic reasons but also to prevent women from escaping the harem.
In ancient Rome, sex trade was not illegal and female prostitutes were readily identified by their high heels.
Men and Heels:
Although high heels originated in France as male footwear around 1500, since the late 1700s, men's shoes have had primarily low heels.
High-heeled shoes quickly caught on with the fashion-conscious men and women of the French court, and spread to pockets of nobility in other countries. The term "well-heeled" became synonymous with opulent wealth.
Doctors and scholars alike have argued about the negative physical and cultural effect that heels have had not only on women, but on society as a whole. | |

Ginger Rogers, Cyd Charisse and Rita Hayworth danced as well as Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in their high heels - even better because of the high heels! A 3" heel is high enough for me, I can't even stand up in the really high ones anymore. | |

I wonder why you men gave up on the higher heels, I think all of you should give it another go... I mean, it was your idea | |
