Who says I can't wear heels and be a feminist?

Back in the old days (mid-20th century), many women said that women shouldn't degrade themselves by wearing typical "feminine" apparel. This inspired a lot of stereotypes about feminists being pants-wearing, short haired lesbians. Many people thought feminists were just angry and un-feminine.

But, boy, have the times changed! Many feminists (typically 3rd wavers) say wear whatever you want, just realize why you wear it! It doesn't take a highly intelligent person to realize that the reason people do many of the things they do is because society tells them to do it. For instance, I wear make up most days that I go out in public. There's really nothing wrong with it, because I am aware that society tells me I look better with make up on. The same goes for dresses, heels, etc. Ladies, wear whatever the heck ya want! Enjoy yourself! It's nice to feel pretty. But realize that beauty isn't just make up, heels, cute hair, and the perfect dress.

Now, there is a line to be drawn. Most people don't consciously realize when they're degrading themselves. Unfortunately, when many women don't realize the influence of society, they often don't know when to draw the line. Know what I'm talking about? Think "girls gone wild" and mtv trashy movies that put women in a vulgar light. Not okay. Society's influence still needs to be recognized and avoided. Be fashionable, have fun. But ladies, stop degrading yourselves by wearing nothing to cover yourselves.
