I READ THIS ARTICLE, AND FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING!!!!
Is it unfeminist to wear high heels?
Sarah, by email
Only if the high heels are shouting up at you: "Oi, Sarah! Women aren't good for anything but cooking, cleaning and shagging! Go and make us a cup of tea, will you, love?"
Look, feminism isn't very complicated: it's about equality. That's it! We can all pack up and go home now!
Michelle Obama's heels
You see, what is one person's embrace of their sexuality is another person's patriarchal oppression.
And you know why that is? Because women aren't just women – they're individuals. And individuals
have different reactions and needs. Women are also, by and large, smart enough to tell when they, as
individuals, feel elevated or downtrodden by something and whether their feelings come genuinely from
themselves or because they have been brainwashed by the patriarchal society. So, in regards to
feminism, while the overall message – equality – is universal, the details (marriage, sexual
predilections, high heels) vary from woman to woman. And you know what? That's just fine.
Feminism gave women the freedom to choose what they want to do with their lives and they can
choose whether they want to wear high heels or not.
