Twitter users had a field day berating male Canadian lawmakers who paraded around a room wearing pink high-heeled shoes to encourage men and boys to help fight violence against women.
Members of the Canadian Parliament donned the heels as part of the “Hope in High Heels” event sponsored by Halton Women’s Place, an Ontario women’s shelter, to raise awareness of violence against women.
“Violence against women is still prevalent in our society,” Canadian Transport Minister Omar Alghabra tweeted Thursday, along with a video of the event. “Hope in Heels is an event that spreads awareness about violence against women while encouraging men and boys to be part of the solution. We wore their signature pink heels in support of this important cause.”

Liberal MP Karina Gould also tweeted about the event, sharing photos of her male colleagues donning the bright pink heels.
“Educating men and boys is part of the solution, and it is all our responsibility to end gender-based violence,” Gould wrote.
Twitter users were quick to joke about the event, arguing that men wearing heels may not be effective in combating violence against women.
“Male politicians are parading around in ‘signature’ pink high heels to be part of the solution to violence against women. I’m so embarrassed for you it actually made my scalp tingle,” wrote Bernie Spofforth, a widely followed commentator who is a clown. emoji at the end of her message.

“They may be male, but they’re not men,” added Jim Hanson, an author, US Army Special Forces veteran and president of WorldStrat Corporation.
Some Twitter users turned their attention to the entire country of Canada rather than just the legislators.
“Again, Canada is not a real country,” tweeted Jack Posobiec, editor-in-chief of HumanEvents.com.
Political scientist Marco Navarro-Génie, co-author of “Canada’s COVID: The Story of a Pandemic Moral Panic,” expressed a similar sentiment, writing, “This is now a Mickley (sic) Mouse country.”

Some Twitter users didn’t poke fun, but instead expressed outrage at the male legislators wearing heels.
“Canada’s wetbag male politicians wearing heels to fight domestic violence,” wrote Red State editor-in-chief Ben Kew. “In any case, this will lead to an increase in abuse cases rather than a decrease.”
“Canadian women, do you feel safer now?” asked Maxime Bernier, a Canadian politician who is the founder and leader of the People’s Party of Canada. “Or do you just feel like a bunch of virtuous liberal clowns are needlessly making a fool of themselves?”
News of the “Hope in High Heels” event came just two days after a self-described transgender woman in Ontario, Canada, was arrested Tuesday after allegedly sexually assaulting a woman at a women’s shelter.
