High heels, yes or no?

@willow Just like foot binding in some cultures. Women willing to cripple themselves.

@bijouxbroussard I don't know what foot binding is (and I will look it up, or you can tell me). As a male, who loves his fashion in what it gives in expression, I sometimes pick things I know aren't as comfortable as sneaker's or sweatpants and pointed tip dress shoes, white leather coats, I often pair dressier pants with colourful dress shirts not tucked for fun and care of myself. It lets me express my creative side even when I'm feeling less than. I always give way to my comfort though, and maybe that's a luxury I have.

(And I have worn high heels they are ultra uncomfortable)

@SW-User Foot-binding, wrapping up girls’ feet to keep them from growing larger than a teacup. Done in some Asian cultures, mostly illegal now. But it was the same idea, the quest to be considered “attractive” more important than being able to walk comfortably.

@bijouxbroussard Thanks for the sharing of information. There is a reason I wrote, the luxury I have.

I think the idea of what is 'attractive' needs to be relaxed. I know I find many typical characteristics attractive, physically, but I'm often drawn to those who rebuke definitions of how they are supposed to dress. It's not entirely conscious of me in doing so, but somewhere I feel that display of confidence and expression is very telling.
