The Confusing Question of the Tartan Stiletto.


Nicola Sturgeon wore an eye-catching pair of tartan shoes during her speech.



Yesterday, on the way home from yet another trip to the Central Belt ( I know, you don't need to tell me ) we stopped for lunch at a place where there were newspapers to read. One of them published a picture like that above. It may even have been that exact picture. The shoes worn by Nicola Sturgeon to address the SNP Conference.

I had two immediate reactions.

One was to smile and say 'Oh, they're nice.'

One was to frown and think 'When did they ever publish a photograph of the shoes Alex Salmond wore to address the SNP Conference.

Patriarchy. Alive and Well throughout the British Media. Whatever people might tell you, the work of feminism is far from over.
