    • @angelkingsley5299
      @angelkingsley5299 5 років тому +99

      Fuzzy Bear it supports stereotypes about Marie(She didn’t abandon or neglect her people she was from Austria and the people of France hated her. others in the comments go more in-depth). and doesn’t even start when high heels were invented. It just starts when Eurocentric elitism restricted high heels to the French elite. And then skips to when Eurocentric sexism and capitalism used pornography to bring high heels back in the mainstream. Also.... the images of feet binding at the end are totally irrelevant and separate.

    • @angelkingsley5299
      @angelkingsley5299 5 років тому +21

      Fuzzy Bear also it randomly shoehorns femininism and proqueer sentiment at the end. Which has not to do with the historical accuracy of high heels.

    Why include the Chinese foot binding in a video/song about high heels? They had absolutely nothing to do with the high heel, they were flats that the women had their feet broke and bound to have a smaller foot, rendering them incapable of walking. Because smaller feet were a status symbol, the smaller the feet, the higher up you were. I'm guessing actual research wasn't included but just a thing to spread propaganda.

      @tacojoans8606 4 роки тому

      ​@Amber Sullivan Damn. Salty are we? by the by...Note: The only way I can see the binding vaguely having anything to do with heels is that both caused harm and were for "fashion"... but in completely different ways. considering the foot binding rendered their feet useless and incidentally needing people to carry the women. Also, It was women that did that to other women because they stood firm within their own ideal of beauty and tradition. Heels are not part of a tradition. They are for pure aesthetics that women have decided to put upon themselves.
