Yes! Dr Zuleyka Zevallos,
I’m also saying that nature has endowed each person with their own individuality. This offers each of us, the opportunity to develop our own tastes, perspectives, and abilities, which creates the way we function, known as our personality. The adornments we choose for our appearance is one of the outward expressions we have to present who we are. When society started dictating what it chose for people’s appearance, it violated this natural process by curtailing individual rights and limiting their appareling choices, which is by definition – bullying/enslavement. However, this violation of the natural process was done with such subtlety that it fooled people into thinking that this was the way civilization was meant to operate. Not being able to satisfy ones tastes were chalked up to the absence of access in their list of the socially stereotyped ideals, which actually meant that the others who created the list didn’t have the same tastes or rejected such choices because they didn’t seem to comply with the social ideals of that period. In the progressively and technologically astute cultures of the free world, the injustice of making people comply with their socially dictated stereotyping has helped some people to better understand how individuality is suppose to function, but the habits of the past are deeply rooted in the way most people view how things have worked. For any person to exercise their natural agency in satisfying their non-stereotypical tastes is considered an act of perversion or demoralization of the sexes. This concept baffles me, for it has been the active nature of women to adapt men’s apparel as their own with society’s blessing, but when guys try the same adaption process with women’s apparel, such as stilettos, they are viewed as the dregs of society. This is one of the results of the social violation of our individual agency to adorn our appearance by the tastes that directs our choices for appareling.

In reply to histiletto.

Hi Histiletto,
I think you’re saying that wearing stilettos should not be dictated by society’s gender norms. If so, agreed!

Like all apparel is naturally meant for, stilettos are expressions of taste wearers desire to portray as part of their identity, not some gender classification that society has been taught to idolize or idealize.
