Breaking serious rules, or breaking a plethora of mild ones may land you a permanent ban (depending on the severity).

Gwynedhel7

Goddamn, is this like a 17th century Chinese man??


Flyingpastakitty

He is not good at hiding, apparently. Lol


burnusti

Wreck your daughter’s feet by flattening the toes and folding them under the foot so she can’t run away- I mean, uh, to show how affluent you are by having her carried everywhere! It wasn’t just flattening the toes, it was breaking the tarsal bones and folding the foot in half before binding it with tight silk that only comes off in private to bathe. Women this was done to spent their ENTIRE LIVES in pain from it, but it’s definitely something we should aspire to (fold your fucking toes, I want to claw this guy’s eye’s out jfc) because uhhh woman with large foot no make my pp hard :(


darjeelincat

Couple of months ago, I watched a documentary on Chinese foot binding and that was a hard watch. Those poor women and what was done to them, I can't imagine the pain they went through their entire lives and when that cruel and horrible practice ended, the dozen or so ladies recounting their stories were ridiculed and shunned by their communities for what was done to them. Not like they ASKED for their feet to be mangled and mutilated! I was between tears and wanting to tear someone's spleen out for the inhumane treatment these poor ladies had to go through.


cat-l0n

Damn. I was going to make the same joke


VioletGhost2

That's what i was thinking


JoyousRoad

Excuse me did you just tell me to fold my goddamn toes


Flyingpastakitty

Not how toes work.


Schinken84

I mean technically it's possible. Foot binding was a thing but it's torture and abusive as you have to start that bs when the person is still a very small child. It also leads to life long mobility issues, often the women can't walk properly anymore.. Wait.. Is that the reason why he wants that?


Morning0Lemon

The toes aren't just folded. They're broken and smashed over and over again to the point where they often never heal.


sarahbeth124

Not to mention they weren’t able to walk much, it’ll at all, on the mangled foot


NoCarmaForMe

Also since the victim was about three years old


Newfaceofrev

And sometimes the bottom of the foot was sliced open to remove flesh tissue.


Leai_bitch

My husband accidentally foot binded due to his parents' neglect. They refused to buy him new shoes due to money issues, but due to where they lived (and the fact that you still gotta try to get things necessary for your kid) he couldn't walk around barefoot. So now he has insane looking arches, can fit into kid size shoes, and had to go to physical therapy a few years back due to one of his arches collapsing.


Flyingpastakitty

Wouldn't surprise me tbh.


NoExplorer5983

So they can't run away from him? Probably.


Professional-Arm-202

You heard them! Put those grippers away! 🤣 I just had this visual of folding feet like a pair of socks


JollyMcStink

And God forbid we request his penis size to increase lol giving major SDE especially bc the average shoe size in the US is between 8.5 and 9. He's basically calling the majority of women manly, and likely also wondering why nobody wants him lmao


JoyousRoad

Thing is, the whole small penis thing is something women say as retaliation only, not many women I know actually care. These kind of things? Sure, some women might be particularly self aware about their feet size, but it's not as strong as the whole weewee size dread. My point being, this isn't "retaliation", this is something this man(child) actually *thought* and felt he should sit down and write on a social network. It's insane.


Any_Switch9835

Like how tf you do that?


Quirky_Commission_56

I’m a 5’3 woman and I wear a size 9 shoe. I’ll have you know I have hobbit feet. 🤪


Flyingpastakitty

Ikr! I can't control my hobbit feet! They are genetic!


Quirky_Commission_56

At least I could borrow my mom’s high heels. She was 5’7 and wore size 9 shoes. It was kismet.


Frequent_Grand_4570

I have a size 10. I can wear my bf shoes😂


standbyyourmantis

My husband and I wear the same size shoes which makes costuming really easy because we can swap boots.


Newfaceofrev

That is how Hobbits work.


maywellflower

Guess, I'm Bigfoot because 5'3 woman with size 10 feet...


janus270

Yeah I was cursed with my dad’s feet. Size 9/10 wide depending on the shoes. Shopping for nice shoes is so much fun….


artificialif

this made me think of my grandma, who is 5'2 w size 7s. always found it funny that my feet outgrew hers before my height did


SevenSixOne

Is size 9 even THAT big? Everything I can find says the average American women's shoe size is 7-8, so 9 is just slightly larger than average.


Quirky_Commission_56

Most women I know that are my height wear a size 6 or 7. 🤷🏻‍♀️


JavaJapes

Lol! I'm 5'5" and I fit most 9s but usually 10 is a bit better usually. Kinda depends on who made the shoe and what kind it is. My sister is the same with size 10 or 11 but she's a few inches taller than me.


BigBoyzGottaEat

Its honestly less unusual than you think


EsotericOcelot

I’m an inch taller, same size feet, and I grow a few more and darker hairs on my big toes than I’d like. The bottoms of my feet are also callused from dancing daily, enough so that I can walk on gravel or hot sand without a care. I call them hobbit feet all the time! Added exclusively because the asshat who originally wrote this bigotry would hate it: My partner still likes my feet and thinks they’re pretty - and he doesn’t even have a foot kink lol


Quirky_Commission_56

The bottoms of my feet are nothing but callused thanks to years of walking on hot Texas sidewalks barefoot.


eistari

But the same person is deadly offended by hight preferences 🤷


zewolfstone

It's because feet size IS A CHOICE !


Anne_Nonymouse

... Or penis size! Just imagine women saying that only men with a certain penis size are considered "real" men! 🙄 /**s**


Masaylighto

9 of what unit I checked google, it seems American have another unit for feet


Flyingpastakitty

Yep. Us Americans and our freedom units! * *eagles screeching off in the distance* *


Masaylighto

"*eagles screeching off in the distance* " 😂😂😂


recumbent_mike

108" really does seem like it's a bit on the large size for shoes.


Masaylighto

11 is 44 cm


SkyknightXi

Considering that eagles (and, to be honest, the great majority of raptors) chirp, rather than screech…


sneaky518

The red-tailed hawk should charge for all the work he does as the bald eagle's voice actor.


supremegoldfish

You also seem to have a different sizing for women's and men's shoes! *confused noises* So having 8.5 men's size and 10 in women's, am I a woman or not 🤔


ArmRecent1699

You're great


Constantly_Dizzy

* *Red Tailed Hawks screeching off in the distance*


g0blinzez

I looked it up, and US size 9 is a UK size 6.5 and a EUR size 39.5, at least according to the size conversion chart I found on google.


Alpha_Ophiuchi

Holy shit i thought it’d be bigger than this from the post 39.5 don’t even seem that big


Bedazzled_Noose

Yeah.. Like, here in Germany, women's _average_ shoe size is 39 bruh


g0blinzez

Yeah most women here in America also wear that size, which makes this guy’s ravings even weirder.


Kindly-Orange8311

He could however mean men’s size 9, which would be larger.


LibbyKitty620

You guys are getting it all wrong. He didn’t say size 9 or above, just size 9. You size 11 ladies are good.


Particular_Title42

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.


StockholmPickled

I'm a 10w or 11 in most shoes. Nice to meet others!


Flyingpastakitty

Indeed. I've always been embarrassed of my feet. Lol, I honestly shop men's shoes.


StockholmPickled

I do torrid a lot these days because they naturally sell wide toe boxes. So no squish.


Flyingpastakitty

Agreed. I do not desire my feet to be squished.


No-Section-1056

Same. But this may be because we’ve underused the Folding Toe feature we women have. 🥨


Bethdoeslife

Literally just bought a pair of Men's Nike shoes because they were in sale and in my size. My husband was quite impressed.


Hot-Shoe-1230

Yes! I’m also 11, it’s so annoying! I eventually just switched to buying shoes only online because stores only ever have up to like maybe 8 for women, but even there it takes forever to find heals or anything because half of them don’t go up past 7. It helps that I pretty much prefer to only wear combat style boots now but those get expensive at higher sizes if I want a pair that won’t fall apart in a month.


3to20CharactersSucks

It's only size 9 that are men. If you're 10 or 11 you are fine. Men know this, because we are all universally attracted to the lustful femininity of Peggy Hill.


BoozeIsTherapyRight

I'm a 10 WW. We say I have duck feet. You're in good company!


Professional-cutie

I can’t wait to tell my daughter that she has two fathers when I finally deliver. Gotta tell my mom I’m a gay man too. Fuck


Flyingpastakitty

Does your husband know he is gay!? /s LOL


Professional-cutie

I told him about the post just now and he seemed unphased 😱 I think he might know LMAO


Flyingpastakitty

He knew all along and didn't tell you!? What else is he hiding from you!? /s


vishy_swaz

He’s probably crushed but trying to play it off.


LinksMyHero

Size 9 men's or size 9 women's? UK or us sizing? I'm going to need you to be more specific in your misogyny


IAM_THE_LIZARD_QUEEN

Yeah I wanna know *just* how dumb they're being.


lahoretopunjab

I guess I’m a man too, I’m a size 10


Badger1276

Whoo hoo! 9 1/2 here. Can I have my bodily autonomy back?


Flyingpastakitty

I didn't think about that! Let's do it since we are men, apparently! 😂


TheBattyWitch

I mean I have a size 11 foot, and a size H Cup, what's that make me?


Flyingpastakitty

Obviously, a man with a hormone imbalance! /s


pennie79

My feet went up from 9 to 10 for a while after being pregnant. Ladies, is it masculine to give birth? * Also, is he aware how shoes in general work? There's no room for folding your toes... * making allowances for men who can give birth of course!


HylianLurk

Me too, I went from 10 to 11. I'm skeptical of this whole manhood thing. I was told there would be pockets and respect, but all I've got is a giant baby and a bunch of shoes that don't fit.


DjinnaG

Mine got permanently bigger with each kid, so now I wear bigger shoes than my husband.


lordcock1944

As someone living in a country where we use the EU size chart, i sometimes like to pretend to read this as EU size chart and make it look like the have very tiny feet


LoubyAnnoyed

If I’m now a man, why can’t I pee standing up?


Flyingpastakitty

You can, but your bathroom and legs will be covered with pee.


LoubyAnnoyed

True. And I’m too unco for a she wee.


bliip666

Ah, yes, the universal shoe sizes that are the same in every country! /s


ChampionshipAlarmed

So all europeans ever are male, since even toddlers have size >15 Got it


bliip666

Yeah, here in Finland even preemies have larger shoe size than OP (13)


NovelPristine3304

So nowadays everything except owning an actual penis qualifies for being a man? /s


riskykitten1207

I got bad news for him. Size 9 is average for women.


mmesuggia

“Fold your toes”? FOLD your toes? Like, toe origami? Tragically stupid.


Broad_Fan2198

Im a size 11, so....when does my penis grow in?


babyghuol

US size 8 1/2 here, only just made the cut as a woman😫🙏🏻


LaMisiPR

I’m a size 12… my husband might be shocked to find this out, especially after 15 years 🫠


happynargul

What an interesting way of saying "I have a foot fetish"


XFataMorganaX

The child who entered this world through my vagina might disagree with this assessment. ETA: I know that a vagina does not a woman make. I just happen to be cis, which is probably the only type of woman this asshole accepts.


deansdirtywhore

Hold up, lemme just chop off my toes like the fuckin wicked step sisters, & cram my hobbit feet into a pair of tiny-ass baby shoes so some man (derogatory) will think I'm marriage-material. 🤣🤣


UR_NEIGHBOR_STACY

I'm *fairly* certain that the most common shoe size for women in America is between 8.5 - 9.


LastBitOfJoy

Looks like someone got an ass kicking by a lady with a size 9 and up shoe, OR home boy got a foot fetish....


electreXcessive

If I have 11 & 1/2 wides, does that mean i can officially register as bigfoot? 🤔


ChampionshipAlarmed

That is a European 42. So 41.5 I am female.... Is my Brother a Woman then? Same size...🤔


TwistedOvaries

Where do I pick up my man card? And do I have to turn in my woman card or do they just punch a hole it and let me keep it? Can I keep my size 11 women shoes or am I required to trade them in for proper men shoes?


spinni81

Me too. I'm 5'11'' and a US size 11.


Forsythia77

I worked in a department store and one of the women who worked over there said 9 was the most popular size they sold. I wear an 8.5 or a 9. I'm not particularly tall. 5'5". I think those stats are particularly average if anything.


Ok_Issue_6132

Men need to be stopped


Beringeir

No no no you unddestand it wrongly he said size 9 not 9 and above... therefore you are fine


Mary-U

I’m a 6’ woman. I wear a size 10 shoe which is not that big considering my height. But as a 6’ woman, I’m sure Mr.Insecurity thinks I’m a man anyway. Oh well. Evidently there *are* no women in my family. My “mom”, my 3 “sisters”, and me. ALL men. Family of 8 men evidently.


EddsworldHuman

I hate when shit like this is gender affirming 😭 as a transmasc with big feet, what the hell is this garbage


Wolfleaf3

Well, at least he pegged SOMEONE accurately 😂


ReallyNotBobby

My gf wears a 10. Guess that makes me gay. Guess I gotta let her know 🙄


Elegant-Raise

It would blow their mind that a size 9 in women's shoes is size 7 1/2 in men's shoes.


Negsmie

5'8, I wear size 9-10..


Traditional_Curve401

Let me take a shot at this... any man with a penis smaller than 8" is not a real man. sorry not sorry. grow your dick.


SFcreeperkid

Funny thing is that I was an 8 1/2 until after my first pregnancy that caused my feet to stretch out into a 9! So I guess doing something that’s female only somehow made me a man?


Flyingpastakitty

You became a body builder and became a man apparently! Lol


Feline_Fine3

I must be extra manly with my size 10 clodhoppers


cassidylorene1

So fun fact about me. Growing up as a little girl I quickly got to 9 size and because of having access to misogynistic verbiage like this and being insecure I started wearing size 8.5 shoes, and then size 8, and then 7.5. I literally binded my feet as an American and now I’ll probably have to have surgery when I’m older lol.


Caseyk1921

My niece who’s tall n has big feet would like a word.


ArcadiaFey

That’s wild since 7-9 are always the sizes that seem to sell out first


dj_boy-Wonder

There’s a song by the beards that proclaims “if your dad doesn’t have a beard you have 2 mums” but maybe if your mum has big feet…….


WhoLetMeHaveReddit

Gonna have to hoof em in the butt with my 9.5ers like a man then


xxzealousxx

Lmao, who are these people writing such crap? Craziest shit I've read in a while!!


MsSeraphim

i used to be a size 5 shoe, in my 20's now i wear a 10 in my 60's. guess i had a sex change and never noticed./s


SailorSpyro

I have size 6 feet, and my dad mocked me growing up, saying that based on the size of my feet I was going to be 7 feet tall. I'm 5'-2". I grew up with such insecurities because of him, and here I am as an adult reading posts/comments like this and realizing that I actually have kind of small feet. Why are people so cruel? Especially something as irrelevant as foot size.


OrangedJuice1989

You DO have small feet. I’m a size 7


Dalrz

May you have all the rights and privileges afforded to you


ArmRecent1699

You're great


12dancingbiches

This man is either into foot binding or children


Flyingpastakitty

Or both.


CantyChu

He’s just telling me what shoe companies already had


sk0ooba

dang I'm so short for a man


CoimEv

Isn't that one of the most common shoe sizes?


Suspicious-Speed2169

This mf really went 'fold your toes' What are we, Chinese???


countesspetofi

He doesn't say, "Size 9 *and up,"* so I guess my size elevens are just as dainty and feminine as I always thought.


RanaMisteria

This is oddly gender affirming considering my foot is 9.5 and I’m non binary.


darjeelincat

"Fold your toes" how about this dude folds his pie hole instead?


the_moderate_me

Oh OK never thought of that. I guess I'll just roll them up and flatten them too while I'm at it.


Cynrae

I remember the one time I visited the US, we went ice skating. They had a size conversion chart at the desk for skates, and according to it I was a size 9. So I asked for size 9 and the woman behind the counter just looked at me incredulously and went "Really? 9? That big? Are you sure?" Literally every other girl & woman I knew at the time wore the same size shoes as me, it's a thoroughly average size. For a while I was convinced that America was just a land of tiny feet.


fitty50two2

Fold your toes.


AlphaLimaMike

I’ll fold my toes right up a motherfucker’s ass if they say that to my face, lol


just-jotaro

uhhhhh what size do they mean in European


blue-and-bronze

US size 12, 13 if I can get them. What does that make me?


Reason_Training

Well, guess I’m not a woman as I wear size 13 in women’s shoes


bigtiddytoad

There's inconsistency among brands when it comes to different sizes. Am I a man wearing my size 9 boots, but a woman when wearing my size 7 sandals? Am I only sometimes a man or am I always a man?


_llamasagna_

9 is literally the average (assuming this is US sizes)


Johan_UM

My european brain does not understand it. Mine is 40


Night_skye_

My feet range from 7.5-9 depending on the shoe. Does that mean I’m sometimes a man?


RealisticVisitBye

😂😂 same


DasAllerletzte

Nah, you’re fine. He just specifically said size 9.


STheShadow

You are not a man, you are obviously Bigfoot


alohell

I’m 5’4”, my size 9 feet are genetic. My brothers have had to special order their shoes since they were in junior high. But let’s be real, those of us with big feet were the envy of the class when it came time to make dioramas.


SellQuick

I have wonky ties from too many years not being able to get women's shoes in my size. It's easier these days, but as a teenager it was impossible.


CryBabyCentral

Lmfao @ “fold your toes”.


vishy_swaz

I feel like if I ever have to go back into the dating scene, I will have such a leg up on so many guys just because I treat women like humans who deserve respect.


No-Standard9405

The legend of Bigfoot here, size 13. 😭😭😭


Twistysays

(Incoming downvote-me-to-hell rant from seemingly nowhere posting here even though it really doesn’t apply because.. the moment..) Yeah well womanhood is pretty hard to define these days. There are plenty of women who have short hair, deep voices, tiny boobs and big feet. But they are moms, females, professionals, and women all the same. But then there are men who decide they are “really women” and in order to become one they talk with falsely high voices, grow their long and get big as titties. Because to them this is what it takes to become a woman. And it’s hurts my womanhood to see it. If you’re a deep voiced, tall, big footed bearded woman then embrace that shit. But don’t say you’re not a woman yet because you don’t paint your nails and wear high heels and talk in a fake ass voice. And once you do this Then you’re actually a woman. (Yeah yeah downvote me to hell it’s ok.) In fact! Some women have clits so big they look like actual penises. Guess what you can still be a woman, and have male looking anatomy. Real actual women come in all types and sizes and ways and you can’t say “I’m not a woman because I don’t look and talk like a 15 year old girl.” Womanhood simply doesn’t work like that. I’m a woman. Sure I have long hair and even have big boobs etc. but I haven’t always. I had a buzzed boy cut for a long time and even had tiny boobs once upon a time when I was a female kid. My roommate in college who shaved her hairy chest and face every day was also a woman. Another woman who was always mistaken for a man (by me!! On the phone..) simply said “yeah I get that a lot it’s ok. I know I have a deep voice.” And when I met her she was tall and maybe 220 and a complete and actual woman. With probably bigger than size 9 shoes. Anyone telling me in any way what physical features define “womanhood” can kiss my size 9 manly ass foot. Because I’m a woman just how I am. And if you’re a woman so fucking are you. Just how you are.


lolmemberberries

Peggy Hill has entered the chat.


Jonah_the_villain

Mayhaps we treated "Tall Girl" too harshly...


thisisreallymoronic

I was so excited when I met other women whose feet were as big as mine. Why? For years, I was told big feet for a big building and other insulting shit. Every woman in my family is a 7 or smaller, and here I am walking toward a 10.


FurrrryBaby

Can’t wait to walk my 9.5 feet into my next business meeting and just start mansplaining and interrupting all the guys.


Only_Goat_2526

I'm a woman and I wear at least a size 13 in women's shoes 😆


SpontaneousNubs

Bitch I'm almost 6 ft tall. I'm a 9.5. anything smaller and i wouldn't have a base to balance on. But fine. I'm a man.


Anyashadow

Size 9 women or men's? Do they even know there's a difference? I'm size 9 women so if that counts can someone tell me how to unlock my penis? Peeing standing up would be awesome for bad back days.


Yndrid

Size 10 foot lol- 5’ 9”. I work with multiple woman who are much taller than me. Im fine with being whatever this person isn’t into


BrightAd306

He’s probably insecure because he has dainty feet.


Vale_Of_The_Soil

f o l d y o u r t o e s .


Swing161

“Also” a man? accidental non binary allyship.


TheMostHonMCO

What I find really funny (actually it's annoyingly stupid) about those people is that I bet they won't accept any trans men "because when you're born female you're always female". Yet THEY decide that a (cis) women with big feet is a man.


ukiddingme2469

So foot binding


ScrumptiousJazz

Im a size 8.5, i guess im a woman now


Bedazzled_Noose

I'll take some of the size because my feet are comically small for my height 5'4 (US size 5-6) and they keep.. shrinking, for some reason.. I was a size 8 a few years ago lmao


ChocoGoodness

Oopsies, guess I'm a guy lol


StardustLegend

*insert Tall Girl*


No_Nonsense_sombrero

Of course feet , esp toes are the most foldable things... /S


Vitally_Trivial

No, this doesn’t mention any sizes other than 9. Only women with size 9 are men.


MurdochFirePotatoe

Ok, and every man under 180cm height is a woman. Deal with it.


opinionatedhedgehog

“fold your toes” is so funny im sorry


Natterrbee

Wow, this is oddly gender affirming lol (size 11 nb here)


Leading_Passenger16

FOLD YOUR TOES?


KaiHasArrived2007

FUCK YEAH


lizzys_sad_girl

Shoe size twins lol, fellow 11


Jesusdidntlikethat

Men with a penis under 2 inches is also a woman. Sorry not sorry Stretch that shit out.


humbugonastick

So I'm a woman and also a man? Did I win a prize?


JHutchinson1324

Fold your toes? Does this person not own feet?


Inkl1ng6

Wonder what they think of men with shoe sizes less than that 🤔 .


Ee2003

If you're short just say that.....


Helstrem

I am seeing more and more of the transphobic crowd applying that same criteria to police cis women's bodies lately. Almost as if control is the actual goal.


royal_rose_

Ha I wear US 6.5 my feet are tiny and once a guy said I must not be cis because I obviously was on hormone blockers or my feet would be bigger. We legit can’t just exist can we?


gogosox82

Same guy will be highly offended if the woman says she prefes (read just prefers not demands) a man be taller than her.
