too powerful a "signifier" of a certain kind of ultra–feminine sexuality.

device of self–serving, mysoginistic men who've pressured women into wearing
them against their will –– a sort of victim mentality that I believe
attempts to strip us from the sexual power we wield by wearing them. I like
wearing heels. I feel powerful and sexy in them. And I use my own discretion
as to when I want to wear them vs a low heel or a flat. In a modernized
Western culture, I really doubt most women would be wearing high heels if we
did not enjoy them.
Heel shape?

For a few years, spike heels have been in fashion. Lately I've seen younger
women wearing chunkier heels, like the kind that were in fashion before the
spikes came in.
Are chunky heels coming back in?
Are spikes on the way out?

If you believe in it, makeup has a magic all it's own.
Of course, makeup is only dime–store magic. But it works well enough,

Younger women stuck with chunky for the most part. women wearing chunkier heels, like the kind that were in fashion before the

They never really went out

No, they will always have a place in some ladies shoe wardrobes. I have both, and like both.

style of heel has its place and its mood. I guess I need to hear things like
that; I honestly grew up in an era when "fashion" dictated what was acceptable,
and anything else was either fixed up to match or put in mothballs for a few
seasons until it was acceptable. Or thrown out, of course. So it's nice to be
reminded it isn't so any more. Thank you again.

Amen! I've heard many opinions (mostly from men) that high heels are a device of self–serving, mysoginistic men who've pressured women into wearing
