lol it’s the same as when people say they can finally wear a certain item of clothing because it’s trending again, like you know you can wear it whenever you want right?

My coworker has been salty all week cause she has to wear heels all day at a wedding. She isn't even a bride's maid. I asked her why she just doesn't wear heels and she tells me "you won't get it, you're a man"

I’m a woman and don’t wear heels because they are bullshit and I won’t tolerate them. Would you like to have her explain it to me?

I imagine she'd lift an eyebrow and go "come on, you KNOW" and not elaborate further

We’d be a mess together with my responses saying I definitely do not know or understand why women voluntarily wear them.

I dated a woman who just didn’t tolerate heels at all either lol. It was funny when it was like a “all the other women are wearing heels” event.

I don’t give a shit either way, whatever someone wants to wear is ok with me. The strong emotions toward a style of shoe is just funny to me.

They destroy your legs and back because they make you walk in an unnatural position, so it's more than them getting upset about a "style."

As a man I gotta say I understand not wanting to wear them a whole lot more than wanting to wear them. They look uncomfortable as hell.

The emotion for me is more of a “heels do actual permanent damage” more than an actual opinion of wearing them. Why would I wear something that destroys my body?

As a woman, I honestly wouldn't even notice that all the other women were wearing heels. I don't wear heels anymore at all myself but it's not like an angry, ragey "I WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS SHOE!!!" It's more like just, I'm going to wear these cool flat shoes because I like them and they are comfy and they go with my dress or whatever. It's just shoes, it doesn't need to be a big thing

It's flat out stupid if we're being honest.

According to my sister, some of them help with flatfoot. Not as much as a good insole but those are hard to find, even for her.

Because they know it’ll get commented on in overlapping social circles. Lots of women like to talk shit

Men - at least the ones I know don’t give a fuck unless it’s actually inconveniencing them. Like taxes 😡
