Why do so many female presenters on television, on serious programmes even, wear painful high heel shoes with no care that they are a bad example to our youngsters. There are thousands and thousands of women with deformed feet from wearing them which they did to please men. It should be a scandal. As one of my friends with deformed feet said yesterday “if only I had realised what I was doing “. And the very name ‘bunions’ is something that people make jokes about. And if I am being unkind and intolerant for saying it (time and time again) then so be it. It’s time someone did something about it. And if your excuse is what you are wearing then wear something else. There’s lots of different, even sexy, flat shoes about. And nowadays l am not the only female in the room in trousers and flat shoes. My feet don’t hurt.
