I have two words for the entertainment industry:
Sensible. Footwear.
Is this really too much to ask, Hollywood executives? Is it a violation of some cardinal rule of film-making for a female character to wear a pair of sturdy shoes during an action sequence, rather than six-inch heels? I realize that sometimes these things can't be helped. I know that whenever I'm dressed to the nines for a gala event that suddenly becomes the target of international criminals or terrorists, my options regarding footwear are both limited and secondary to the threat of imminent death. However, when a female character prepares for a covert operation or other potentially deadly encounter wearing nothing more than a stealthy black skin-tight cat suit, heels that could perforate asphalt, and a gun - that's when I feel I must speak up on the behalf of all women, and the war-torn arches of their feet.
Perhaps I'm being unfair. Not having been a secret agent, I am unaware of any additional or special training given to female operatives regarding this subject. Perhaps these women choose their shoes based on what they learned in classes like "Sashay Your Way To Victory."
