Why feminist girls are against high heels? and why are they so not feminine?

Answer 1

High heels hurt! Ouch!

I am very feminine!

Answer 2

Well, I think, about the high heels or not, that in modern cities it is safer and comfortable to have shoes that allow you to walk, board buses and, in case, run or kick. We women not need to be feminists to be practical, I am not a feminist and, with rare exceptions, do not use very high heels (they damage the vertebral spine, besides).
But about your question: maybe feminists think that rejecting a sexual fetichism that some men have about high heels, they're fighting against the "object woman". They take their ideas to their appearance, just like a futbol uniform, and that's why many of them are "not so feminine". Well, in this world there is all kind of people, indeed.
To be an integral woman, as an individual and human being, I think that nobody should need labels. This doesn't mean, either, that people should not fight in defense of their own and other's rights, or in defense of justice and equality.

Answer 3

First, I can see many reasons feminists would dislike high heels. For one heels over a certain height are actually harmful to your feet if you wear them often. Second, they are restricting. You cannot move about efficiently in them and if you can you are probably wearing them too much and damaging your feet.

I have been called a fem-nazi. I'm really not. I do enjoy being feminine. I enjoy dressing up in a little black dress and a pair of heels every once in a while, but I think those things have their places and limitations and you need to be reasonable. Endorsing heels leads to policies like hotels that require their female staff to be in heels. This is damaging to the foot in a job where you must be on your feet the entire shift. And unfortunately, these policies are protected by laws and hotels and other businesses like them have the "right" to set these standards and fire people for not abiding by them.

Answer 4

As a feminist, I would say that the idea is: high-heels are *usually* uncomfortable and painful to wear, yet acclaimed for being aesthetically pleasing for the line of the leg. The promotion of such shoes promotes the idea that a woman's physical discomfort is secondary to her overall physical appearance. [See also: ancient feet binding, old-fashioned corsets, newer age plastic surgery, etc.] This is an anti-feminist ideal.

I also think you're misinterpreting the problem. High heels are, hands-down, "feminine" in that they are incredibly popular and frequently associated with females. This is undisputed.

However, I'd imagine high heels are seen as *non-traditionally* feminine, in that promote sexual prowess more than they do demure qualities. [Think: stilettos, fetish footwear, platform shoes VERSUS ballet slippers, patent leather shoes, flats.]

I don't know for sure. The opinion varies. But that's my $ .02

Answer 5

"Why feminist girls are against high heels? and why are they so not feminine?"

It seems rather ironic of the face of it. But it is otherwise perfectly understandable, because feminists since the second wave have done more to demean the female role and feminine behavior than any other group. At the same time, they elevated all the successes and achievements of men, and have jealously lobbied for women to get a piece of that pie without any understanding of how men themselves earn that.

So for the most part ... feminists conscripted women to become wage-slave workers just like the average men by promising them they would all have "careers" equal to the few elite men.

Understanding all of this has led to a newly accepted definition for feminism since the second wave.
-Feminism - the radical notion that women are men.

Answer 6

Feminists are a misnomer. They are equal rights activists although they aren't that either. They are feminine supremacists. As a result they are trying to "better" womens' lot in life but they are going around like a bull in a china closet to do it. They believe women are exploited so they dress more like a man to prove it.
Smart choice, huh? I'm not impressed with the feminine movement although I believe in equal pay for equal work and do not believe women should be exploited in the workplace or at home or at school.

Answer 7

Think of it this way, did nature intend for you to walk with your heel way up in the air jamming the rest of you foot down into a narrow space?

What do you think nature will make you pay for doing this stupid act latter on in years? Back and spine issues!

Males did this to females so that the leg would look what they called sexier? Non thinking females continue this very unhealthy act today under some miss guided notion that it will help them look more attractive (to whom)

I bet no one ever married any one because they though high heels was what they wanted in a wife! And I am willing to bet, they aren't the issue in meaningful relationships.

If the male really cares about the female in his life, I think he
really inform her about the health cost of waring High Heels.

Beauty is in you, not what you ware.

Answer 8

High heels- uncomfortable, impractacle for walking and cause back injury. The second part of your question is B.S. Some femists are "not so feminine", some are. It's up to US, get it?!

Answer 9

i recognize intense heels. they actually have the end results of hiding the actual incontrovertible truth that I easily have mountain pony legs... :) regrettably, in almost all of situations, they fairly do harm my ft. So except i'm wearing a pair that i understand and love, sure I do evaluate them to be gadgets of torture. extremely in the adventure that they are clean! Stilettos ought to correctly be very alluring, yet they fairly are ridiculously tall. you would possibly want to bypass for heels with a much wider heel and by no potential so staggeringly intense as they fairly are counter effective. something in suede continually seems large. desire this facilitates!

Answer 10

Maybe they can't walk in them? I love my high heels!
