I want to see the (mainly) men who design those torture chambers for the feet start wearing them. Most women’s shoes suck and never fit right, even flats and athletic shoes, because they cram the toes together, are too narrow in the heel, etc. Those awful crocs are probably the only ones designed not to do that. If these people think their feet are “ugly” or “wrong”, they should wait until they get older and see how surgery affects their feet. I had a neuroma and the surgery turned bad when the dr decided to “correct” a “bunion” that had little size, and now that foot’s large toe and second one have a tendency toward ingrown toenails, so I wear nothing but socks or bare feet inside the house, mainly sandals in summer. And I pretty much restricted myself to 2-1/2” heels when I was working, changing to runners for the street. That was almost 30 yrs ago, and I still have a lot of problems with that one foot.

If the shoe doesn’t fit, have surgery? No wonder so many people are neurotic. Look at the lengths they will go to pursue “beauty”—which is always in the eye of the beholder, they say. : ) My 4 yr old g-grandson is beautiful, right now, but those people who really just hate themselves? Pathetic.

I literally found out yesterday about the difference between the Misses and Womens section in a department store; i.e., “Women’s section” is basically code for “You’re too fat, dear”, according to the GF.

Swear to God, I had no idea. That’s horrible.

As a guy, you unfortunately never really get an idea how much women have body image thrown at them until it’s pointed out to you.
