Emil had the audacity to make a clear point on the debate over women and men inequality when it comes to the way they dress.
“I saw the pictures of Julia Roberts and the bloody feet and it just felt very wrong. Imagine if you had to walk in heels every day at work?” he told local media.
And Emil certainly put his money where his mouth is. He found a size 43 pair of pink pumps with ten centimeter heels, and went to work. On that day, he was scheduled to install the floor in a 4th floor apartment. To emphasize his point and mimic a woman’s potential day of work, he even took the stairs to and from the apartment!
“It was really awful. Downright horrible. I almost hoped that my feet would bleed so that it would look as bad as it felt. My feet were completely bruised, red and I got ingrown toenails,” he said.
Emil decided to launch the challenge on social media: “Challenge: high heels at work”. He also posted this video (in Swedish) on his YouTube channel.
Please share if you also want to counter the skewed female ideals and preconceived notion of how men and women “should” look!
