More than 20 men — all Chicago lawyers — will slip into stilettos and parade around the Loop on Tuesday in an effort to raise awareness about violence against women.

The Chicago Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section is hosting its first Walk a Mile in Her Shoes event with Between Friends, a local nonprofit geared toward ending domestic abuse.

What exactly do heels have to do with violence against women?

If you really want to do something about violence against women, arm them.

Be prepared for the 2016 election cycle especially if Princess Hillary or Dizzie Miss Lizzie are nominated. It will be non-stop: men are vile pigs.

"We figured if we wanted people to talk about violence against women, what better way than men wearing high heels around the Loop?" said Natacha McClain...
Makes no sense at all.

“ok got nothing what do stilettos have to do with violence...”

They can make excellent weapons in a pinch.

If I had to walk a mile in women's shoes I may want to put beating on someone...

a better idea is that these guys could move in with Chris Brown and burn his dinner

lawyers?...four will sprain their ankles and six will sue, another three will claim PTSD because of all the screaming like little girls cause them to permanently lose a certain frequency associated with the sound a cash register makes thus eliminating their ability to over charge their clients.

Chicago lawyers find an excuse to dress like drag queens in public. Don’t worry about the ones who totter, watch out for the ones who are good at it.
