High heels as an instrument of oppression

Australia`s cabinet minister still in mold of 60`s bra-burning feministsshe said that western women are “subjected to oppressive dress code” by “torturing” feet with high heels"... then why don`t enlightened western women simply not wear them and wear instead running shoes or sandal or whatever you like? (in fact many women wear sandals and other very relaxing shoes at offices, while men`s choice is still mostly limited to dress shoes) With all the education and money and title western women have acquired over the years through affirmative actions, gender quotas and litigations, etc, are they still unable to choose their own shoes? Or do we need some new laws or governmental agencies regulating what kind of shoes women should wear?
