Fashion Power Tripping

There was a recent stir at the Golden Globe awards pertaining to Emma Thompson and high heels...
Interesting commentary article:

What are your thoughts about this, guys?
 
As for me, I'm particularly more interested in the day when women rally against skirts and also get rid of symbols (such as toilet signs) that force this primitive/ inefficient garment on women to make them "sexy" even in winter and form sexual identities.

It might be worth doing a cross-cultural study to find a correlation between these signs/symbols and skirt prevalence. Now, the main challenge is obtaining a dataset to analyze, although I think Google images of symbols and sales figures from online stores (e.g. Amazon, E-bay) can be used. Anybody out there wanna collaborate for a paper on this one?










P.S. No offence meant to Kilt-wearing people
