[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]So... how many of you wear high heels to work? Because it's "professional", right? And I assume you chose your field, and your specific employer?

I happen to think high heels are appallingly misogynistic, and I think a little less of women who wear them. About on par with Hooters girls' uniforms. But at least they don't have to permanently maim their feet for their job.[/quote]

I occasionally wear heels to work, but it certainly isn't a requirement of my job.  I can wear flats whenever I want.  I don't believe that the hooter's waitresses can choose not to wear their uniforms.  I don't think less of them, or people that wear heels.  But people that wear heels definitely have more of a choice about it.[/quote]

Not only can the waitresses not choose, but I have read in various places that they have size requirements -- like body size, breast size. How is that not misogynistic? The same used to be true for airline stewardesses, and people thought that was appalling. It is no less so for a waitress, in my opinion.

I think high heels are ridiculous, personally. I don't care if others wear them, but I do not, even when I am in court in a suit. I wear flats. I am not going to maim my feet or compromise my ability to walk and carry heavy case files. I have female colleagues who must rely on our male colleagues to tote their things, or must take a taxi down to court (a bare 10-minute walk from our office), because of the way they dress. That is unacceptable to me. No one has ever remarked on it and I don't care if they do. [/quote]
