Gender-Benders

In 17th century northern Europe, only men wore high heels, and so the first women to try them out were actually going for a masculine look.

It appears to have started in 10th-century Persia, where men - particularly soldiers - wore high heels because they helped them remain stable in the stirrups when riding.

Men in England and Holland would have become acquainted with this look by the mid-16th century, when they traded textiles in what by then had become the Iranian empire and would have encountered the empire’s large mountain military. By the 17th century, aristocrat European men were also wearing heels.

Men abandoned those in the 18th century because they're just not practical unless you ride horses a lot, and even then, what became known as cowboy boots were just as good in stirrups and more multifunctional in other situations. Women, however, like the look, and so they remain a fashion staple.

The NRA is scared- that's why they brought out the President and the VP for the first time to their convention. The young people will win. #USAoverNRA

Yeah, quivering in their boots, eh, Davy?

 

Plenty of young people who don’t agree with you. They know this is about you using a tragedy for your self aggrandizement and pursuing a career as a democratic operative.

All he does is push the line that the NRA wants to sell more guns. The idiot doesn't seem to realize that the NRA does not sell guns. He also thinks that our country is a democracy. Boy needs to spend less time running his mouth and more time studying.

 

Dating Woes

The poor girl has all kinds of trouble when it comes to finding guys to date. She has no romantic life, much less a sex life. It seems that guys tend to back away when they find out that she's an abortionist.

And it's not just the potential partners who treat her differently from other women.

"Even friends judge me," she said.

Maybe she should have chosen a different career trajectory.

Surprisingly, she doesn't seem to surround herself with cats....

The Gal Ain't Right

Notorious white woman formerly masquerading as African American president of the NAACP chapter in Spokane, Washington, Rachel Dolezal, was disinvited from the Baltimore Book Festival after public outrage.

Dolezal was initially invited to the September festival to promote her autobiography, “In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World.” The book details Dolezal’s experiences being “‘outed’ as a white woman who had knowingly been ‘passing’ as Black” and chronicles “the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identifies as Black.”

Respected? In her dreams. The reality is entirely different. She can't get a job these days, and her hair-braiding business has declined, so she's hoping her book will be a hot seller. The reality is still entirely different.

She's bi-Rachel.

Blue Jeans & The Planet

Those jeans you pull on before running out to the corner store were produced by one of the most toxic industries on the planet, according to a new documentary that explores how clothing manufacturers are poisoning the world's water supply.

More than 9 billion pairs of jeans are produced each year, and the highly toxic waste resulting from the process is routinely just dumped:

"We came across a satellite photo from China, and it was just this big stain of blue coming down into the ocean," Williams told CTV's Your Morning on Tuesday. He says the "big stain" was toxic dye flowing out of Jingting, the so-called jean manufacturing capital of the world. "They're just letting the dyes run right into the rivers," he said.

Williams and his crew visited several countries for their documentary, including India, Spain, Indonesia, Bangladesh and China. He says, in some places, the rivers will run red, black or green, depending on the colour of the dyes being used in textile production. The smell of chemicals is also strong enough to trigger "instant headaches" in the more heavily-polluted areas, he says.

Maybe we should go back to wearing animal skins. Or in nicer weather, nothing.
