jezebel.com: With Thor: Ragnarok hitting theaters November 3rd, Cate Blanchette’s Hela and Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie join the ranks of woman action stars who need a little lift to throw down.
You see, when the world needs saving, cinematic heroines still have to bring their A game—and by that I mean their most fashion-forward heels.

I’ve been watching a lot of short videos on facebook recently of women calling out interviewers because of the feminine based questions that are only asked to women who are apart of the entertainment industry. Whether it’s about clothing or makeup, women are often given more sexist questions in this industry. I’m not sure if I like this article, however, it is pointing out the double standard that female actors face. If a female actor is playing any sort of heroic role, heels are still an outfit requirement. The expectation that women always wear heels is cringe worthy because it’s not relatable to human life at all. The reality is that the majority of women who are heros in their day to day life wear sneakers or uggs, or snow boots, or hiking shoes, or legitimately any shoe that is not a stiletto. I think that heels enforce a sex appeal thing and I think the inserts in films showing a women’s shoes while she is fighting like a badass creates a very different atmosphere than when an insert of a men’s shoe is shown.
