Clearly, this means that I have been indoctrinated and brainwashed by the patriarchy.
...Okay, thankfully, no one has ever said this to me, but I'm pretty someone out there thinks this.
(Also, I remember Myr on TvTropes!IJBM making a thread somewhat similar to this. 'Tis what inspired this one)

Well I did but being on the receiving end sounds fun too
Many people do
"Why/ how are heels/ women that wear them "sexy/sexier", exactly? "
I have a feeling my particular like of them has to deal with my foot fetish, but I dunno.
Like Juan said: because they are
As many as there are stars in the sky.
I wish I knew Latin, because that would have been a PERFECT thing to pretentiously write in latin.
Semper=Always, ubi=where, sub=under
No, really, it does so in a way that subtly encourages backward bending and discourages forward slumping. This makes sense if you consider how a human body's center of gravity ought to shift if you put it on an incline, which high heels basically are.
The result, however, is that the front of the body becomes projected outward more prominently. In other words, it draws more attention to the wearer's frontside physical appearance--face, torso, and all.
I never notice the boobs of women wearing high heels. My eyes are always drawn to their feet and legs (when viewing artwork, of course. In real life, I treat women like normal people).
I associate high heels with European nobles back in the monarchy days more than I do women. How did they become a gendered object anyway?
I am not sure. I tried to look that up on Wikipedia, but it was surprisingly unhelpful. Maybe you can find it better than I could.
I feel like one negative of wearing high heels is that walking with them is kind of loud. I think that can be problematic if you want to avoid attracting attention.
