High heel as instrument of oppression Part 2

Follow-up to yesterday's entry...

if women are subjected to oppresive dress code, why don't they just buy
shoes that doesn't have high heels? We are told that women now make
somewhere between 80 percent or more of all purchase dicisions (doens't Pru
want to investigate into this "inequality"?), and with all the money they
have at their disposal, and they still cannot stay away from high heels?
How deeply entrenched the oppresive western dress code for women are!

Why so many high heels are still on market, many of which actually being
designed by felow women? Are they co-conspirator in men's oppression of
women? if high heel is considered to be oppressive tool against women, and
since we live in a world where issues affecting women receives the UTMOST
(and only) IMPORTANCE, why don't Pru take one step ahead and lead the
banning of sale of any shoes for women taht have heels higher than, say, one
inch? - with imposition of penalty to departments and stores that carry high
heels and throw the owners into jail (if they are men of course)
