Interesting article.
Biology Dr Helen Fischer, a biological anthropologist at Rutgers University, says that heels force women into a "natural courting pose" found amongst mammals, with an arched back and protruding buttocks
For many years now, whenever I have been in a conversation with a woman who
appears to be opening up to me/getting 'real', and the conversation would be in an area related to this topic, I would ask them why women wear high heels. Invariably, I would always get an answer that I consider to be bullshit and misdirection. "Makes us taller" and similar crap. A little while back, I was talking to an older woman (and we were having a slight 'connection'), and she gave the reason quoted above.
arched back
means 'tits out'
protruding buttocks
self explanatory.
I am inclined to think that she was being real with me, and kindly gave me an insight into this 'secret' (women seem to have an infinite number of these, don't they?), but you never know.
Patriarchy Not only do heels transform the way women's bodies look to please men, they cause them pain and prevent them from running away - radical feminist Sheila Jeffreys says they are one way in which women are forced to "compensate for the lack of power that men may be having"
Oh Christ
