Can We please quit exploiting the women by analzying their footwear?

[Ex Lurker]

Thank you.

1. yeah, and stop talking about the holes in Obama's moderately priced shoes.

its just not right.

[malaise]

9. How is that exploitation?

Women love discussing other women's clothes and shoes. Thankfully there's more to these women but I see nothing wrong with the discussion.

[malaise]

Men analyze each other's ties

Women analyze each other's shoes

[asdjrocky]

7. Sure we will, as soon as we all stop drooling over how fine Obama is.

Or how he looks in a suit. Or how radient his smile is. Oh come on, the boots were hot.

10. I thought everyone was talking about the shoes..

when did the women get exploited?

[Ex Lurker]

12. it just seems demeaning n/t

[leftstreet]

11. I wish Dr Biden would have thrown her boots at Bush

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

13. I suppose you'd like them barefoot and in the kitchen too!

Patriarchal gatekeeper!

[Ex Lurker]

26. geez, nothing could be further from the truth n/t

[lunatica]

15. Do you have a shoe fetish?

Because that the only reason I can think of that someone would use the words exploiting women when referring to their footwear.

[Ex Lurker]

16. No, I wasn't the one talking about how sexy they were

these are accomplished women,there are better things to talk about than their shoes.

[lunatica]

21. What's wrong with talking about their shoes? Really.

You're the one who seems to have a problem with it.

[Bake]

24. Do you think Jill Biden doesn't KNOW her boots are sexy??

Similarly, do you think she doesn't know she looks good?

In that case, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you ...

27. If she didn't want her footware to be noticed, she shouldn't have worn sexy boots

Calling it exploitation to merely notice them is taking petty DU nitpicking to a whole new level.

[ShadesOfGrey]

17. It's great to have ladies with style in the WH...

You can ignore the fashion threads, but please don't tell the rest of us what we can talk about. Our new ladies are going to be inspiring to those of us that love fashion.

[Belial]

18. If you think shoes are bad.. you should have been here for

the discussion on dresses earlier.. :hide:

[BR_Parkway]

19. All I've got to say about them is thank dog I'm not walking down

Penna Ave in 25F weather in them.

[Raine]

23. NO...

as a woman I love footwear and I love analzying it. :P

[Sugar Smack]

25. They weren't analyzing. They were admiring.

:)

[Phillycat]

28. I just thought they were cool.

:shrug:

I'd be willing to hear more evidence as to why it's exploitation, though. I don't want to be offensive.

[Generator]

29. Foot fetishists are Americans too

Get with the program. Everyone has a place in the new America.

30. Don't expect feminism here at DU, friend
