Dress like a whore, cum like a porn star

Well makes sense doesn't it? High heels boost up the butt, make the derriere look tops and the legs toned--> straight men find toned legs and tight butts appealing--> woman feels sexy from male attention-->woman engages in more/better sex because she feels sexy.

And I'm not even an Italian urologist.

Remember even if women have better orgasms, "the shoe has been linked to a range of problems - from corns to schizophrenia."

they make my work life much more enjoyable.

to the point of distraction.

apres_moi,

Please understand correlation does not equal causation. The world would be much better if everyone had to take a basic statistics class.

@5 Just because the number of people with a poor understanding of statistics correlates to low attendance in statistics classes doesn't mean low attendance of statistics classes is the cause. It could be something else.

Nah, then we'd ignore all the advice from "studies" of people pre-selected with only 12 participants ....

Bullshit study. There are very easy and rewarding ways to tone the PC muscles.

Well this explains why all those Feminists and dykes in their (ugly) sensible shoes are so up tight...

Now if only we could identify a correlation indicating that wearing makeup and possessing a rudimentary understanding of fashion and accessories improves your sense of humor everything would make sense!

In the meantime, can we please start a high heel fund for ECB?...

I'll start wearing high heels regularly as soon as men do. Up to that point, forget it. I never learned to walk in them, I'd break my neck. I think people in high heels look ridiculous, tottering around like cripples.

And this is the most poorly-controlled "study" I've seen since the last time someone else set out to design a study to "prove" their own preconceived nutty notion.

Yeah, it's totally important as a woman to fuck up our bodies so we can be more attractive to men. We all know how hard it is for us women to get laid in this day and age!

Yeah, like like you'd really date a man who makes half as much money as you.

@9: You're a moron. 'Cause everyone knows you can tell a feminist by the way she looks (stereotypes are so enlightened, doncha know). And if you have a personal dislike for ECB's opinions? Then please don't read them. Because I'm getting tired of slogging through all the misogynist bullshit that gets thrown at her just because she has an opinion.

Alternatively, Slog administrator? Please ban You_gotta_be_kidding_me, because I've never seen him/her contribute anything meaningful to conversations by or about women.

@10 - who do you think invented them? Originally it was men who wore them - blame Marie Antoinette.

@13: Not that I hate ECB to any degree, but "if you don't like it, then don't read it" is really the fucking weakest retort in the world. Worse, it gets thrown right back at you -- don't like misogynist bullshit? Don't read it. Oh, crap.

@14: During a course on Baroque art, a student asked if Louis XIV's red high heels "symbolized" his literally "elevated" status over his subjects. The prof coughed and said, "No, that was just the fashion at the time." Priceless.

@13

I think YOU need to get a more satisfying sex life. And a sense of humor...

Why so touchy?
