The opinions of Dr. Melissa Clouthier are frequently as shrill and unfounded as any in the Blogosphere. But now and then, before I rise to object to her carpings, it occurs to me that she might have a reason for a statement such as this one:
“pointy toed shoes on a man scream sissy.”
…that a mere mortal might not have grasped. So I will ask:
What makes pointy-toed shoes an item of “sissy” attire? Is it causal, or is it a matter of correlation? In either case, please elaborate.
It’s one thing to dislike an item of fashion. It’s another to associate other undesirable characteristics with it, out of nothing but personal distaste.
