Is it worth posting, talking, or writing about if it is never enforced?

I guess I’m a hypocrite because I responded

Outrageous? Who cares enough to be outraged?

My Mom’s W Texas town once had to enact a town ordinance of No Shooting In The Streets.

A short time later, had to enact another ordinance; No Shooting Across The Streets.

High heels would be a benefit while navigating the sidewalks of San Francisco.

Don’t they say that high heels were created by men to oppress women?

High heels were first worn by men in history, and one of the reason was all the garbage in the streets.

Well it sounds like a stupid law, based on trying to enforce common sense. Nobody should wear high heels while hiking in the woods, or walking along the beach, among rocks, or on otherwise uneven surfaces. Maybe it’s just a way to protect the city from certain liabilities?

This is the city where Clint Eastwood was mayor.

I’ve heard that.. I suppose it’s akin to ‘hobbling’ or ‘binding’ their feet..

I never saw the appeal in high heels or any of the so-called glamour stuff.

The more beautiful a girl is, the less she needs to get all “dolled up”.
The really good-looking girls look best in sneakers, blue jeans and a flannel shirt.

It’s the age-old Ginger vs. Mary Anne question (which is really not a question).

In the 80’s, when he way mayor, they passes a law about eating ice cream on the side walk. A Carmel resident told me it was because there was so much dripping going on, but I don’t think it’s on the books anymore. I still love Carmel, though.

A lot like the old law in Texas about not carrying a pair of wire cutters with you.

Things change and some things don’t. It might be a good law to distiguish clothing between the sexes. Might hurt the tranny business model.

The city is named Carmel-By-The-Sea in honor of the Carmelite monestary nearby. Beautiful place.

“Outrage” is one of the most mis- and over-used words in the English language.

It’s glorious, but you’re off by one click. It’s named for the Carmel Mission, founded in 1770.

Women doll up because some men prefer it. As a married lady, my husband prefers heels, so I’ll wear them until I’m unable 😂

I’m sure that’s true of some men in some circles .. in my experience women are mostly dressing up for each other and the men couldn’t care less - or even dread it because it means they have to wear a suit.
