When did 'killer heels' become 'stripper heels'? Men don't talk of stripper heels; women do. A put-down? Women dripping contempt onto other women for their choice of footwear? What's it all about?
Whenever we appear before other people, we send out a message by the way we present ourselves. It's an intricately coded language that changes constantly, and is interpreted differently by different people. It's not a trivial matter.
I currently do "No-style" style and I do it knowingly; I want to be easily ignored - I haven't always been this way, and can still get the code right when needed. I'm not pushing an agenda here, just wondered whether anyone wanted to talk about how we judge other women, maybe why we do, and whether "empowerfulness" is such a bad thing ....
