Supported, pretty, and kept on a tight leash. Until they get dumped off at the pound in later life. Enjoy the shoes.

No thanks.

“After all, Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.”

I grew up in Southeast Arizona (the other Utah). Women were/are expected to be "accessories" and "addendums" to a male's power and position, never equals.

They are available. I have a pair.

When men have spend 10 hours in a delivery room pushing a heavy load out a vajayjay, get back to us.

Everyone has a heavy load; it's called life.

Then probably 95% or more men can't wear my shoes or carry the load I carry.

BTW I'm size 16.

And by that "reasoning" of theirs, David should just have surrendered to Goliath and told everyone else to do the same.
