Feel free to start your own poll.
You're perpetuating such notions, so you also get to fix them by learning to list more than male and female.

While I agree with your earlier post Cran, Jeff doesn't have to fix it, does he? I mean, this is his poll, and his categories, so they may not be correct in total, but they are correct enough for his purposes. Those that don't agree, don't have to vote, right?

I'm not picking on you here, Cran. I'm still a big fan. Hope all is well with the studying, etc.

I'm with you; I never understood the bra burning thing either. 'Course there's a number of aspects of the feminist movement I never got.
But bras never seemed to be necessarily a man's construct. If so, how come all those National Geographic ladies from Africa who are so repressed are still running around with their mammaries flapping? I, for one, am very physically active and the thought of doing long-distance running without support makes me shudder! Apparently guys have no nerves in their flappy parts (see all those naked Greeks running around) but the jarring bothers me. So bras seem a benefit more than a "curse".
I would have been more impressed with the burning of high heels...

A-ha! The bait worked!
I figured you would chime in on the mention of bras, amar.
When you didn't, I knew I'd have to go for the hard stuff... :D

Yeah, I don't get that either. Anything above two (or maybe three) inches for a woman is just freaky looking. Every time I see a woman in big heels I cringe a little bit because I know that can't be comfortable. One or two inch heels still accentuate the foot nicely (no I don't have a foot fetish), but they don't look painful like taller ones.

So hey, I'm all for burning your high heels. I'll help you do it.

I've worn moccasins as far back as I can remember--or tennis shoes. (In fact, I'm wearing moccasins now.)

Regarding high-heels, I have a book on Chinese footbinding, which is a particularly nasty topic. It's interesting that such an oppressive custom arose in a culture that has no grammatical gender in any of it languages. That sort of undermines the position of those who believe that they can change attitudes by changing the language.

And, for Cran, "gender" is a term from language, and doesn't necessarily equate to sex. There are languages that have more than two genders, and others that have none. It just happens that males usually fall into one gender, and females into another. I think that the use of the term "gender" to mean "sex" is due to a Victorian-like distaste for calling a spade a spade.

I actually happen to love my five-inch heels. Go figure. Of course, I wouldn't wear them to go hiking... well, on second thought, I don't know... I've never tried!

Platforms, stilettos, mules, and strappy-- I love them all. My name is Ad, and I am a shoe-aholic. :D
