The reason is obvious...a lot of kind's of women's shoes are impractical. Look at women's shoes. High Heals can be painful, ballet flats offer no support so you might as well be barefoot. Flip flops are reasonably comfy but easy to kick off. A lot of probably just kick off uncomfortable shoes as soon as they go home.

In contrast, men tend to wear comfortable sneakers and socks.

I think a big factor is how impractical women's shoes are. High heels are notoriously uncomfortable, and it is tempting to take them off as soon as you get home. Also, sandals can be fairly formal for women. Someone wearing sandals can slip them on and off in a moment. Sandals are also almost as bad for running around as high heels. Sandals for men are considered very "casual" an inappropriate in many situations. (And they can look gay.)

Basically the women wearing high heels really wants to take them off, while the women wearing sandals can take them off easily without thinking.

Guys in sneakers are pretty comfortable.

Posted in Are Vasectomies The Answer? on 2012-02-16 03:52:33

Vasectomies can SOMETIMES be reversed. Not always, and not usually. They often lead to scar tissue that makes reversal impossible. Also, the immune system will sometimes start to eat the sperm as a way to get rid of it after a vasectomy, making reversal impossible.

Statistics on reversal success rates are often misleading because many people measure the percentage of people who produce sperm...NOT the number of people who successfully father children.

Vasectomy reversals are expensive and not covered by insurance.

Thus vasectomies are a way to keep people who have children from having more...they aren't a way to prevent teenage pregnancy.

They are uniquely inapropriate for use in third world countries, where surgeries would not be performed at a clinic up to US standards, patients may not be able to get to a clinic if there are complications, there is a history of poor sterilization techniques (no pun intended) leading to HIV or infections, and there are many more exotic tropical diseases to cause infections.

The question on what the school would do is bad because: 1.) It doesn't apply to people who weren't bullies, and 2.) There is no option for "the school would do nothing."

It should not be a required question, and should have an option "they did nothing".
