1950 Called. They Want Their Dress Codes and Their Labor Minister Back

High heels suck. Let's be real.

You know what sucks even more?

When a man with mothballs between his ears decrees that wearing high heels is "necessary" for women to do their jobs.

If labor minister Takumi Nemoto thinks that high heels are so "appropriate and necessary," let's see him wear them. For a week, even. Let's see what he thinks then.

High heels have been proven to be bad for the foot. They put the foot at an angle which pulls muscles and joints out of alignment. Wearing them for an extended period of time can cause permanent damage.

Both dresses and high heels make women more vulnerable.

Women being ordered to wear dresses and high heels in a business setting stems from an era when women in business were seen as decor with clerical skills. 

It's time to put men like Takumi Nemoto and their mothball-brained ideas about what is "necessary and appropriate" for women on the shelf.
