HIGH-HEELS AND HELMETS

———————————————————————
Why do women endure uncomfortable high heels?

High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. But they also increase height, as well as forcing your back to arch, pushing your bosom forward and your buttocks back, thereby accentuating the female form…and men, apparently, prefer an exaggerated female figure.

The hope was that the pilots would return safely, even though the expectation was that most would not.
