[ExI] how did high heels happen?

   Quoting David Lubkin <lubkin at unreasonable.com>:

Feminists are not all mathematicians, scientists, and engineers.  Many  
feminists are designers, authors, actors, and other types of artists.   
Many feminists are mothers. Many feminists are lovers.

   High heels do not hobble women. Not all women are the same. Some  
women walk better in heels, others not. 

   The feminists approach would not emphasize what a woman's job, her  
skill-set, or what type of shoe she wears.  She would emphasize the  
level of clarity a woman has in her thinking and in the choices she  
makes for her life based on your beliefs.
