Suffering for beauty - high heels vs foot binding

The Journal of Applied Physiology has revealed that women who habitually wear high heels are at risk for permanent physiological damage to their knees, hips, back, and tendons.  In fact there doesn't seem to be that much difference between the habitual wearing of high heels and the old Asian practice of foot binding....i.e. women crippling themselves in the name of beauty and high fashion.
