Couldn’t have said it better myself.
“There’s power in height, in the instant and literal lift one gets from heels. Some say they feel sexier, and there’s no doubt that wearing heels changes the posture of a woman — pushing out the chest, tensing the calf muscle, elongating (actually hyperextending) the leg and putting stress on the lower back, causing hips to work harder and therefore “sway.” But where is the true power when you can’t really walk? Where is the power when most of the popular shoes were designed by men who don’t wear them? Ever notice how ladies who wear sneakers all the time have smooth and un-callused feet, and women with a “sexy” heel habit have stressed out and jacked up feet? Why, after thousands of years and a sexual revolution, do we continue to do this to ourselves? Is it because there’s a thrill in being a woman, in claiming all of the chicks-only, “feminine” accoutrements that go with being decidedly female?” - Jezebel.com
