I can understand the sizing since cisgender men and women typically have a different foot built (I’m pretty sure someone who is AMAB has wider feet).
But like, just shoes in general?? SERIOUSLY?? It’s just to stop people who have foot fetishes from staring at your feet why can’t we all enjoy that in comfort😰
We all know “people” with foot fetishes aren’t people. They are creatures. Fear them. Wear your shoes.
gendered clothing, that I understand. I don't condone it, but it's an easy concept to grasp if you put yourself in the mindset of a cishet™ person. But.. why shoes? Why is footwear, of all things, considered to be 'male or female'? I don't know, it just seems like one of the most unnecessary, pointless, nit-picky things to slap a gender label onto. And why is sizing gendered as well?! I just- I don't understand. Even just 'men's and women's sizes' in clothing, why is that necessary? And it's so confusing, too. Just make a single size chart, I'm tired of having to do calculus every time I enter the men's section of a clothing store.
