1- commonsense, wise, moral men all abhor any sort of women oppression.
2- that dictator ruler's always trying to enslave his/her people with all acts of subordination, ultimately, they've turned insubordinate and revolutionary till they managed to dethrone him/her.
3- those trees in your garden are absolutely flamboyant, look how they brought my toddler child attention.
4- my female classmate indeed, looked glamorous today with her stunning pink high-heeled shoes.
5- I'm in no way able to draw any parallel between my ex and current boss, the current one is such wise and fair, unlike the precedent, that was reckless and feckless, by the way, this is not an actual, realistic instance, it's otherworldly :)
- How were those sentences BBC Learning English, have I done a great job? :)

Wearing high heels causes such pain and suffering that I hardly ever wear them. High heels often change the shape of your toes, and are said to be the cause of lower back ache. Although many women have to wear high heels when they dress up, if this strange custom disappeared, a lot of women would feel liberated from what constrains them. I think only those who want to wear high heels will wear them.

It doesn't take much thinking to imagine high heels being unhealthy. They should be banned at workplaces, just as other unhealthy and unsafe things are. And I have yet to see a woman that can walk in high heels without looking physically impaired.

Flamboyant - something or someone who are brightly colored and attractive...
Act of subordination - act of giving someone less importance or power .
Otherwordly - belonging to imaginary world rather than real world.

I hope in the future we can hear females discussing about females. We are forced to wear them, especially at work. In a job interview a woman is most likely to NOT get the job if she's not wearing high heels.

Hahaha, very interesting topic of discussion! I think were all victims of fashion/oppression, especially in this age of social media!
