Male liberal lawmakers in Canada recently paraded around a room while donning pink high heels. For women's rights. Naturally.

This was part of a "“Hope In High Heels” event sponsored by a women’s shelter in the Ontario area. Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra tweeted out a video of the event, saying, "Violence against women is still prevalent in our society. Hope in Heels is an event that spreads awareness on violence against women while encouraging men and boys to be part of the solution. We wore their signature pink heels in support to this important cause."

MP Karina Gould tweeted out some photos of her male colleagues donning the pumps, commenting, "We welcomed @HaltonWomensPl to the Hill for the 4th annual Hope in High Heels on the Hill, to continue the conversation on systemic violence against women. Educating men and boys is part of the solution, and it is all of our responsibilities to end gender based violence."

It's unclear how educating men on how to walk in pink heels or publicly humiliating them on the internet will lead to a decrease in violence against women. Perhaps the violent male offenders will direct their attention towards the men in heels instead of the women. Though that would just start a new problem of violence against heel-clad men.

I'm not alone in my inability to see the point of this movement. One Twitter person said, "I’ve never worn pink heels in my life. This is a slap across the face to all women. We don’t need feminized men parading around in heels to fight against the war on women." Another, "How is men trying to walk in pink high heels encouraging anyone to part of a solution to stop violence against women? This does not make me feel safe at all, quite the opposite."

But remember, Canada is a very serious country with very serious priorities.
