Why do people think that a man wearing high heels is gay or wants to be a woman?

This question is ONLY dealing with men wearing ONLY high heel shoes. Not transvestism or transexualism. ONLY the shoes with %26#039;masculine%26#039; clothing otherwise...So why do so many people think that a man who wears heels is any less of a man? Or gay? Or wants to be a woman? Or wants to appear as a woman? Why can%26#039;t a man simply want to wear heels and go through life that way? So why do YOU think a man must be gay, wants to be seen as or treated as a woman or maybe even become a woman if he%26#039;s wearing high heels? Please help me understand the correlation between a pair of shoes and someone%26#039;s sexual orientation. Again, I%26#039;m not asking about if the person is dressing completely as a woman. That%26#039;s a different story. But in men%26#039;s clothes wearing high heels, what%26#039;s the big deal?

Why do people think that a man wearing high heels is gay or wants to be a woman?
I think that these people are trying to explain it to themselves without asking the guy and sounding like an idiot... or they just don%26#039;t have anything better to think about in their free time. whatever either way, no reason to be judgemental.
Reply:Actually the reason why high heels even exist is because it is difficult to walk in and causes the woman to sway in a way that is considered sexy, very similar to the way that the Chinese bound the feet of rich women. Men who wear the heels would end up walking in the same way, minus the hourglass shaped curves. Therefore most people would identify men wearing heels as looking %26quot;gay%26quot;.





Personally, I would love it if guys would wear heels. Make them understand how much women have to go through to look good.
Reply:This has to go down as one of the greatest questions ever asked on Yahoo answers. This should garner many serious answers. Many! In fact, I%26#039;ll bite off my own tongue if you receive any smarty pants answers at all!
Reply:Well, let%26#039;s say that same man wasn%26#039;t wearing the high heel shoes but he was wearing a skirt (and I don%26#039;t mean a kilt).. he was wearing this along with all the other things men wear (a suit jacket, men%26#039;s shoes etc.). He%26#039;s ONLY wearing the skirt with all other masculine clothing. What do you think now? And what%26#039;s the difference?
Reply:because its gay
Reply:it%26#039;s just that style doesn%26#039;t work on a man. it just doesn%26#039;t. it%26#039;s so feminine and that doesn%26#039;t work on a guy. i live in vegas and there is a country bar here caled gilley%26#039;s and i see guys in cowboy boots that pretty much have a 4 inch heel on them. but it%26#039;s a really thick, strong heel so it works.
Reply:good question.


It would be the same as asking whats wrong with a female fighting on the first line in a war. or whats wrong with women wearing work boots without being called a dike. i think it has alot to do with stereotypes. a majority of people have an image of what they think males should look like and what females should look like. thankfully times are changing slowly and there is alot more acceptance of people that break these %26quot;stereotypes%26quot;. to be specific with high heals though you might want to look into why they were invented for women in the first place. and why it might seem strange for some people to see a heterosexual, masculine male wearing them. stereotypes have been implanted into our brains for generations. its not as simple as flicking a switch and making people think differently.


Rome wasn%26#039;t built in a day. there is light though, and i hope for a future that allows people to be who they are with out being judged in a negative way by others.
Reply:There is no deal i have one name for you: PRINCE! He%26#039;s been wearing 6 inch heels with male attire since before I was born. And there is no way in the world that man is gay. Insecure about his height, maybe but not gay. I love him! I think he%26#039;s awesome. Wear what you want!

Reply:sorry, the shoes look better on women-after all, that%26#039;s who they were made for.





plus, it%26#039;s just plain creepy if there%26#039;s nothing %26quot;trans%26quot; about you. it%26#039;s creepy enough for me running in to someone who is (I don %26#039;t mean to be ruse or anything, but that%26#039;s just who I am)

Reply:Society needs to rethink its gender definition. There are too many people crossing the gap, which is making the standard of social gender inaccurate if not incorrect in its description of men and women. Are the organs for reproduction the factors that classify our gender or is gender a product of one%26#039;s personality traits and talents?


As a male toddler, I desired to wear the patent leather mary janes. I didn%26#039;t know I had to be a certain type of gender. I didn%26#039;t even know there was such a word then. All I knew was, those shoes were the ones I want to wear. Of course, I was told no, but that didn%26#039;t stop my desire. Later, I found a chance to have a pair of my own and I latched on to them so firmly, only death could take them away. Activities and time wore them out and that ended the wearing, but not my desire to continue to have and wear feminine footwear like them.


To shorten the story, let me say, as a heterosexual, I have never lost that desire, even though I have since learned of the societal standard for %26quot;crossdressing%26quot; as it has been labeled. To me, it is still a natural feeling to wear the footwear that fits my fancy.


I have grown up in a world that looks down on male femininity, and I have learned to keep my activities in wearing high heels fairly secretive. Exhibiton and glory are not the results I want to follow my daily activities. However, living under a societal deception that tells us all males are masculine and all females are feminine is a standard to be revised. Women have enjoyed their jump back and forth across this man-made gender gap. Today%26#039;s socially defined masculinity is accepted and idealized by the world, in general. The men who have the needs and desires of the present feminine stereotype are demoted and reviled to a sub-standard status, when all they wanted is to be who they are: a person with the abilities and achievements equal to any other person%26#039;s possibilities, if given the chance. I really don%26#039;t understand why femininity should be given less of a value status in this intellectually enriched stage of the human race. As it has been said before, we should not be so quick to judge another person until we walk in their shoes, even if they%26#039;re high heels.
Reply:no offense or anything. i just think its really weird. im not telling u not to wear them, i mean its ur choice. but people might start talkin bout u. but hey...its ur choice
Reply:Because society says it%26#039;s wrong. Oh wait, that%26#039;s the typical stupid American response - just do what everyone else says and never have an original thought or opinion. Honestly, I would love to be able to wear heels out in public, not necessarily every day but once in a while, for an entire day as I do errands and stuff.
Reply:Those shoes are design for women not men.
Reply:Hmmm. This kind of sounds similar to a question I asked, except mine was about men wearing pantyhose and tights because I like to wear them. I usually wear tights, but sometimes I wear pantyhose. NO IT DOES NOT MAKE A MAN GAY AT ALL. An article of clothing does not determine a man%26#039;s sexuality one iota. We%26#039;re living in a society where people just can%26#039;t accept others for who they are. Racism is running rampant as it labeling people. They don%26#039;t even know you and will never meet you. I say this. Wear high heels all you want. It doesn%26#039;t make you any less of a man. Don%26#039;t let these people who call you gay get to you. It doesn%26#039;t mean a thing.
