I agree.
People just don't see it enough to program their old knee jerk reactions out of their mind.
While we might not habituate the collective whole of society to the sight of men in heels, we can habituate people at our own individual grassroots levels to the sight of men in heels.
Just ask Shafted's boss, who defends his choice of stilettos. Or ask Firefox's friends who worry when he doesn't wear heels. Or ask the janitor at Barnes and Noble about my croco print pumps. Its getting the micro level victories to team and form one macro-level triumph is where it gets tough.
I think seeds for acceptance lie dormant in almost anyone really. They are after all being watered everyday by a growing socially liberal collective whole of society. It seems like the world is coming to expect diversity. At least here in New York, London, Amsterdam, and many other cities it seems so.
Im not saying everyone's heart is soil ripe for tilling. But many hearts are ready for the harvest. If and when we find it...well thats another question
