(13,954 posts)And just as Faludi wrote about feminists, somebody will write about Greens, and somebody will write about conservatives, if there is a movement, it will be written about, even if it is about as trivial and non political as Cubs versus White Sox. I do not discount feminists because they, like every human group, have disagreements, frankly, if they did not, I would wonder how much actual debate goes on, and therefore thought. We know the GOP is not genuine because a lot of these people that hate Mitt Romney will fall into lockstep goosestep and vote for him, so all this Tea Party steam is not that sincere when they support a man they claim to hate.
However, if you want someone to examine whether or not high heels are evil, that's one thing. In the article, the person spoke from an ego point of view "I walked so you would not have to wear heels!"
Why not ask the young woman why she wore heels, then educate her, and if, it turns out she wears them because -->she<-- likes them, let her be. I have met women that wear them for reason feminists might not like (beauty) and women who use them as the counter attack to male dominance as they stand over Males. Everyone is different.
PS: I know this thread has gone on, and if it seems I have replied a bit, it's only because I think we stepped onto something that, if nothing else, made great discussion.
