crotchboots-m Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 i am not one for sweeping generalizations,either. its the sort of thing that starts wars,genocide,and a whole host of unpleasant,hateful events. before you express such opinions its best to look at yourself in the mirror and take a deep breath and ask yourself if you really believe it. And if you really feel that way,i would bet there is a lot more behind it than men wearing heels in public.
Rob Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 I must say that I'm shocked to see a thread with such a title! We have so few women here, and it is statements like yours Pumps, that have got us in to this situation. This forum wasn't started as a men in heels forum - it was born out of Jenny's forum. Jenny's forum was initially conceived with women wearing heels in mind, but she quickly found that many men want to / do wear heels, and she was open to that and supported them. So today this forum is for everyone that wears or has an interest in heels. But that will include, from time to time women who don't like the idea of men in heels. Now unless they come on to the guys forum and start attacking you, they are entitled to their point of view. And, Pumps, the same goes for anyone in the real world - a proportion won't like seeing you in heels and that goes with the territory, as a trailblazer you have to accept that. Yes, pointing, laughing, nasty comments, etc., aren't acceptable (and I don't know your personal experiences Pumps) but that is the minority, and no reason to tar all women with the same brush. And hate is a strong word. Even the "maliciuos and spiteful women" you may have encountered probably don't hate you. They just throw out nasty comments without engaging their brains (if they have any). Feel sorry for them - people like that are generally unhappy with their own lives, and feel they have to ruin everyone else’s day. Rant over! On the positive side it is great to see everyone support the women so strongly. Like the vast majority here, I love women. I love to look at them, I love to spend time with them, I certainly love to see them in heels, I love everything about them. Women are amazing!
Ninanoora Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Whoa lot of drama in this thread, that is what i enjoy to read but I dont want to stir it up anymore.. We are all entitled for our own views and opinions, but I would say.. Accept and you will be accepted. Ps. one thing, if you look for likeminded people, you might try in following website, www.ihatewomen.com "Even when I'm a mess, I put on a vest... with an S on my chest, oh yes.. I'm a Superwoman.. "
Dan J Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Pumps: I sincerley hope you don't mean what you say, literally. I have found that, yes, women do comment far more than men, but I've found mostly positive, sometimes very enthusiastic remarks, and only a very small (<10%) negative in any way. It may simply mean the location you're in...I really can't say. I realize the frustration you're having, but saying you "hate women"...that's unfair - to women. Dan
"Wellies" Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 Well I love women. I don't understand them, that is the problem with being male. The ladies will say that is least of the male problems probably. So ladies keep right on being you.
crotchboots-m Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 my father once told me the minute you understand a woman,your gonads will shrivel up and fall off. now this is an exaggeration to say the least,but it does have some truth to it. i tend to look at it like the french do,vive la difference.
Bubba136 Posted April 5, 2008 Posted April 5, 2008 STOP THE HATE! He can hate if he wants to! Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
Ruth Heel Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 He can hate if he wants to! OK, I hate oatmeal, rhubarb, and cranberries!
johnieheel Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 OK, I hate oatmeal, rhubarb, and cranberries! Me To. lol real men wear heels

raymond.nl Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Accept and you will be accepted. Beckhap's Law: Beauty times brains equals a constant. Obviously Beckhap was wrong. You're a wise women, Nina.
fastfreddy2 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Emery was a member here in the first years this board existed. Later on he left the board, but his posts are still here and recommended reading IMHO. Do a search for "Emery", and start reading (his name is not to be found in the members list anymore) Will do. Thanks for the lead. ...
gwl1 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Pumps, You dare to wear footwear fashion in public that is not generally acceptable to society and that's good. You are brave and that's very commendable. You are showing by example that men can do this, and that's laudable. You are a pioneer. Unfortunately, pioneers are the ones with arrows in their backs. You have to expect that if you're going to tread into new territory. All the best, GWL
ShockQueen Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Trailblazers leave a path of change in their wake, but they are also the ones getting firebombed from the sidelines. It's up to those who blaze the trail to stand fast and keep going if they wish to make any good change. So many of us have had positive experiences while wearing heels, so there is room for acceptance. Keep struttin' your stuff, Pumps!!! SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!
