Atten-what?

Should I even inquire anymore about new fashion crazes I don’t understand? Yet again, the military is seen as too masculine for women, so “we’ve” changed it, given it flair, and heels. My God, is there nothing that can’t be sexualized? I’m all for finding inspiration in the darkest of corners, but this is trying too hard, fishing really. From the time women were allowed to serve, the military should have meant an arena for dual-sex participation. Much like in Cinderella, we’re now forcing the military to become something overly feminine [why can’t it be androgynous?], but not for women who are even in the military. Pardon my pun, but the shoe just doesn’t fit.

Payless, I'm disappointed.
