ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 23 (UPI) -- Several male students at the University of Central Florida say they now empathize with women after going on a march wearing women's' shoes with high heels.
Psychology student Ivan Gonzalez said after the volunteer high heel walk around campus, he has a better understanding of what life can be like for a woman wearing the treacherous footwear, The Orlando (Fla.) Sentinel said Thursday.
"I couldn't really walk," the 21-year-old said after Wednesday's event. "I had to hop."
The high-heeled efforts by male students were part of the school's Strike Back Against Dating/Domestic Violence campaign.
The Sentinel said 21-year-old communications major Jenn Edelson donned her high heels to join the men during the march to increase solidarity between the two sexes.
"It's their turn today," the volunteer march participant told the newspaper. "It shows they want to understand us better."
