I hope the boy took self defense lessons before deciding to wear high heels because surely bullies would be all over him. I would love to watch a guy wearing high heels getting across to bullies that you're in for an unpleasant experience if you pick on him.

Lighten up, Francis. This kid isn't hurting anyone.
Isn't hurting anyone? Did you ask his parents about that? Or his sister or brother?

Girls can wear pants, boxers, sneakers, baseball hats, etc. and no one bats an eye. Our founding fathers wore powdered wigs, makeup, and some shoes that might be construed as "heels". Even though I wouldn't wear those type of clothes, it does kinda suck that men have such boring fashion compared to women. Women get to have so much more fun in style and clothes. Men get suits, and button down shirts or jeans and sneakers.





I think most men are satisfied with what we have to wear. It is only the homosexuals that want to wear the girly stuff. If that's your bag have at it, but don't speak for all of the men. Most normal guys would not be caught dead in high heels.

I do seem to remember that pants seemed to be forbidden for females, though. We must still be in that century.

Last night, my wife put on a pair of my boxer shorts - should I kick her out of the house?
If you should go to your parents home with your friends one day and see your dad wearing a wig and a dress maybe you would understand it more how it could affect others. I don't think you would thrill.

if the kid is "man enough" to wear the heels he should. if he isn't allowed to wear heels for "safety" reasons the girls should not be able too either. his boots were awesome and looked great with his outfit by the way.

And how are they "hurt" by this exactly? They aren't the ones wearing the shoes. And why is it your business anyway?

Face it, you're jealous that this kid is more fabulous that you.

It's a distraction from the learning process. He takes them off or finds another school.
