College Offers Course in Wearing High Heels
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.
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.

For the M.R.S. degree. Seriously this is just degrading.

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?"
There are many feminisms... One of them, so-called 'lipstick feminism' (and the stronger 'slut feminism') actually seeks to embrace things like high heels as symbols of female power. I don't like this particular variety of feminism (I think it is actively harmful) but it exists, and was relatively popular when I was in college (mainly, cynical-me thinks, because it provided an excuse to sleep around. Personally I don't think I would feel empowered by herpes, but, hey, if you want to ignore public health statistics to satisfy your ideology go ahead...).
(In fact, there are so many feminisms that statements like "I am a feminist" seem pretty meaningless to me... but I digress even more...)
