In some countries, it's still legal to force women to wear high heels to work — and in order to prove just how messed up that is, Stylist magazine decided to make a few of its male employees try them out for a day.

...Predictably, it was a disaster. Whether they were tripping down the stairs or trying to navigate cobblestones and grass, the men at Stylist openly acknowledged that wearing high heels is a learned skill and it can be dangerous AF.

Of course, the video is totally hilarious, but it also sheds light on what a huge double-standard still exists in society today. From elementary school onward, women are policed and sexualized for what we choose to wear — and that certainly doesn't change once we grow up. This video is proof of that.

If you love heels and they make you feel powerful, then get on with your bad self, but no one should be forced to wear something they're not comfortable with entirely because of the archaic and sexist notion that a woman's only purpose is to look pretty. Women are in the workplace because we deserve to be there, not because of the shoes we choose to wear.
