Women's fashions worn to look pretty?

Obviously that's only true to a point.  Certainly, it's quite evident that a woman wouldn't be walking around in public in just a bikini to look pretty.  But I'm talking about areas in which women may not understand how it might affect a man ... where they wouldn't be wearing something to appeal to a man (because they wouldn't be aware that it even does).  So, for instance, on the subject of high-heeled shoes, many women would not be aware of how these might induce a state of arousal in some men.  And I personally find most high heels to be UNattractive and rather ugly/tacky.  But they bring attention to themselves this way, and they're almost always seeking attention ... which is contrary to the attitude you're supposed to have in Church, that the focus should be on God and not on YOU.  But many don't know that the attention might involve a certain amount of sɛҳuąƖ interest from men.

The term "high heels" is subjective and wearing  high heels is not bad.  The notion that they are bad is puritanical and was probably a notion taken by some "holier than thou" trad to show that they are, well, holy. High heels on little girls and adolescents is inappropriate as it encourages them to lose their innocence. Ask any mother who has had a few children what they think about heels… They will probably tell you never again!

Bottom line, if you like 'em, wear 'em, and if you don't, MYOB.

I find it odd that you think little girls and adolescents will lose their innocence by wearing high heels, while seeming to deny high heels are sɛҳuąƖ and inappropriate for women striving for modesty. I'm not quite following.

Even so, there is no need to take nutty, puritanical, holier-than-thou trad Catholics' word for it. The world has no qualms proudly admitting everything that has been stated in this topic. They think this is good. They believe they are freeing our oppressed society from the chains of ʝʊdɛօ-Christian morality. So they proudly proclaim it for all to hear. Or at the very least, many are neutral and don't care either way, therefore have no motive not to be truthful. A quick search will give you the history of how, why and when high heels came back in style for women, as well as study after study after study proving/confirming the sensual effect of high heels.

I have noticed the only ones who regularly protest these truths are the men/women who are living a dichotomy between their Faith, words and actions. These are hard habits to give up so we sometimes prefer to be blind. Ignorance is bliss. Until it isn't.
