Yeah, if we go to the next slide, this is one that I wrote, which has much more free form and therefore worse content.

We have sexy high heels.

Yeah, the sexy high heels, the sexy shoe.

So the point that I'm getting out with this is something we've kind of alluded to earlier, which is that fashion is one of several ways that you can code gender in your society, and this is very dependent on your society as ways of

organizing and thinking about gender it's very mutable sometimes it's very

alien to our consumption and one example of that is high heels, right, which were originally

invented for riding horseback with steer-ups by the Mongols and sort of came to Europe as a form

of ostentation that was specific of all the same reasons that women like it. And it makes your cows look good.

Yeah, it makes you look good as how.

Like a high heels make you look amazing.

I mean, if you look at that picture of Louis the 14th from the last slide,

it is specifically arranged to show off his legs.

Like that is part of the point that's being made here.

Just like, it's like, what's his face from Game of Thrones, Con Drogo in like stilettos?

Yeah, I mean, it's like, it's powerful and it's elegant and like if they get tall enough

then they can also do the same thing of conveying that like I'm too fancy to have to really walk around.

It keeps your shoes out of the gussers.

I have a horse to do that.

You can also help you give people the Johnson treatment.

Yeah. And I mean, yeah, and my point with this is only to say that like the ways in which fashion sort of like is used to convey gender change in have changed in ways and are changing in ways that we

seldom fully understand and which are often tremendously subtle and if you are

the menswear guy you can like use this to own Matt
