Recently I went out on a
rare night out clubbing with my friends, all was going well until a dear, dear
friend (and sadly one of the biggest sexist pig I have the misfortune of
knowing) said to me quite out of the clear blue sky that I am frighteningly
tall (I am 5ft7 barefoot, in heels I can be anywhere between 5ft11 and 6ft) and
that is the reason I rarely pull on nights out. This angered me for three
reasons... 1. It clearly never occurred to him that maybe I don't want to be
pull some randomer I met in a club. 2. If I did then I am perfectly
capable of approaching someone myself . And 3. He blamed me for my height,
which is not something I can control.
Heels make me feel confident
and sexy, two things I am sorely lacking in my everday heel-less life. Whilst I
am not the most graceful of people nor am I nearly hardcore enough to last the
whole night without changing into flats at least once, I don't see how
something giving me confidence is a bad thing. Nor do I understand why my
height is so "threatening". I am a inch taller than the average
woman. One measly inch which elevates me from average to "frighteningly
tall".
I have never felt
insecure about my height, despite being the tallest woman in my family by a
good 5 inches, but this comment made me feel like an monstrous giantess,
crushing all the prettier more delicate females beneath my ungainly
heels. And then I thought... f**k him if he wants to be intimidated by my
height then let him. I refuse to kowtow to someone else's insecurities. I love
wearing heels, I love the way they make me feel about myself. So I will
continue to wear them and anyone who has a problem with that can suck it :)
Until next time love love
