High heels can be a pain in the feet
Often painstakingly selected to complete outfits, high heels put stress not just on feet, but on ankles, knees and backs, contributing to the approximately $3.5 billion spent annually in the United States for women’s foot surgeries, which cause them to lose 15 million work days yearly.
Ouch.
I did a project on this. There are some companies that enforce strict dressing policies, particularly for women, which often include wearing heels on a daily basis, regardless of personal preference, ability to walk in them, and other safety considerations.
Not only is this policy dangerous on both a short- and long-term spectrum, but it also isn’t particularly respectful toward women. Wearing heels forces the female body to assume a position called lordosis, which is when the hips and butt jut out, calves and quads are clenched, and shoulders are thrown backward. (Doesn’t that sound really painful and awkward? Usually tightening your abs reverses some of these problems, but keeping your muscles clenched all day isn’t good for you either.) On top of that, lordosis is the natural position many mammals assume when attracting mates.
Yep. Office dress codes that enforce wearing heels also force women to unwittingly assume a body position naturally designed to be physically attractive.
And, while I have no problem with wanting to look nice at work, or even trying to impress hot coworkers, that’s not the point of going to work.
I also can’t help but smell some sort of subtle hint at (quite literally) disabling women from working as much as men.
