Sooo just a reminder:
Dresses were the norm for boys in 100+ years ago, and the color pink was a color for boys as well.
Oh yea and in the 1700s it was normal fashion for men to wear high heels.
But hey, lets make up whatever fake history we want to make gender norms sound like they have always been the same and that "cross dressing" and "drag" are somehow new inventions.
Heels were designed to help in riding horses either for sport or war.
In other words, it did not start out being about fucking fashion; heels served a practical purpose.
You've reversed the sequence. That's fake history.
Pay closer attention to my words.. I didnt say heels I said "high-heels" this particular form of heels was very much for fashion unlike shoes with raised heels more generally which had different purposes depending on the circumstances.
@freemo
You wrote "normal fashion," which is to claim it was the norm for men.
It wasn't.
The elites of the day had the $ and the "fashion sense."
So...like 89%, 69%, 45%, 37%, 23%, or less than fucking 5% of the male population in the 17th century wore high heels?
