highlight some of the gender related problems we have as a society.

"No one is forcing you" - some companies have dress codes mandating high heels for women

"You can stop anytime" - wearing high heels and makeup are associated with higher pay and better career advancement

Women are prohibited from wearing flats at the Cannes Film Festival - and before you say "then don't go" would you tell a man not to go to the equivalent of an important professional conference in his field?

Edit: I don't want to have to write the same thing to both responses so I'm going to say it here - 1) show my in my post where I said they were "forced" to wear heels and 2) if you don't think there is pressure on Harris and Biden to wear high heels, you aren't paying attention. I remember when Hillary was just Hillary Rodham - the same political pressure that caused her to take Bill's name hasn't eased since he was in the White House and its the same pressure that "forces" Harris and Biden to wear heels. Women are judged for their appearance all the time - and the news media rants about female politicians clothing choices no matter what they do.

I am so f**king tired of women being judged for the choices they make to be emotionally comfortable in a patriarchal society even when that emotional comfort comes at a physical cost. Unless you have walked a mile in their shoes, STFU.
