College Offers Course in Wearing High Heels

Posted by samzenpus on from the higher-heeled-learning dept.

Do you want to learn how to wear high heels, but feel hopelessly lost on your own? Why not take the six-week course Sexy Heels In The City at London's South Thames College. The government-funded class costs £150 ($268) and also gives lessons on how to carry designer handbags.

    From TFA:

    "The earlier younger ladies learn how to walk in heels, the better it's going to be in the long run - with business and social lives," said former backing singer Chyna Whyne, who runs the course.

    Hmm--there must be a shortage of young, female prostitutes in London.

    Also--doesn't this reverse 40 years of feminism by enforcing the idea that to get ahead "with business and social lives," woman must wear "fuck me pumps?"

    P.S.

    How soon before a male student files a discrimination lawsuit?

      That would depend on on how many male students want to take the class and get rejected for not being female.

    Look, I'm not in favour of banning articles of clothing; dress codes for public areas are obnoxious. However, almost everything you said is specifically designed to work optimally with a human body along their functional parameters. High heeled shoes are demonstrably not.
