Walk in her shoes

Post by jee »

Image
A group of men in San Diego are collectively putting their best foot forward -- and into high heels.

It's part of a Sept. 30 event called "Walk a Mile in Her Shoes," which, true to its name, will feature hundreds of guys strutting their stuff in a mile-long walk through the city's downtown in an effort to raise money for the local YWCA's domestic-violence programs.

There are similar events all over the country, but this is the third year that San Diego men have risked bunions, twisted ankles, hammertoes, blisters and all the things that women go through just for the "joy" of wearing stylish shoes.

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

Epic find jee. Let them appreciate how you kill yourself every day for the sake of fashion.

Hence the reason for the fashion. But alas why is it not me sitting opposite you <sigh class='DrawnOutSigh'/>

Ons second thought don't answer that. But seriously - Not a bad joke this. These are people, afaik, aimed at raising funds they just chose to do it in a way that will actually pull some attention. I wholeheartedly support their cause. Stop the violence. If I find a guy lifting a hand against a woman I just go bonkers. I get so mad I just want to bash his head in. Happened once while I was still in school and the guy did in fact end up in the hospital. I got into big problems cause of it but to tell the truth it was worth it.
