People HATE When Tall Women Wear Heels | The REAL Reason It Triggers Them

It’s officially been about a week since I had a little “menty b,” lol. I won’t explain too much because I’ll likely update you on my socials and newsletter.

But I am okay-er now. Just trying to keep going. I have a few exciting things like starting my new part-time job and working with a new client and so forth. It’s kinda hard to complain though when there are fires in California, high congestion pricing in NYC, and people losing their income because TikTok is being banned.

Speaking of which, yup, TikTok will likely be banned in a week. There was a hearing recently and TikTok basically said, we know we have to leave or sell to an American company and TikTok was like we’re just gonna leave. Soooooo it’s looking like they’re leaving the premises :////// So yeah! Make sure you follow me on Instagram and Pinterest until further notice lol.

Alright, today we are talking about tall girls and heels. You’re probably like why are we talking about this??? Listen, this goes deeper than just what we wear. It causes deep-rooted insecurities of not just being judged for what we wear but also insecurities surrounding being tall. Let’s get into it.

“You’re gonna be too tall.”

“You’re already tall; you don’t need to be taller.”

“Why do you even need to wear heels?”

These are just some of the comments that tall women receive if they want to or choose to wear heels.

But have you heard about the history of heels? They were actually meant for MEN. Yup, you read that correctly, heels were originally made for men. Tune in to the full episode for more on this and why people have issues with tall women wearing heels!
