Running in High Heels leaves the viewer searching for a solution By Jessica Jarrard + WCnewsmagazine Women comprise nearly 52% of the population but certainly do not represent anywhere near 52% of the government. This was addressed in a documentary titled Running in High Heels. While documentaries seem to be all the rage, this one was lacking in conclusions and viable proof of assertions. The documentary begins in a beauty shop, of all places. What better way to tell women of the world to unite against a male-dominated society than by beginning with a woman being primped in the beauty salon. While being a feminist certainly does not deny any woman the right to feel beautiful, M.T. Manelski should have known that beginning a feminist documentary in a beauty shop would certainly raise questions. Emily Csendes, a math teacher from New York, is running for US Senate on the Republican ticket. The camera follows her around on the campaign trail, even to her beauty shop, while snippets of interviews with other prominent women are interjected (hardly any males were interviewed). Why would Manelski choose to follow a Republican female to run in one of the most liberal states in the nation? Was it because she knew that Csendes would be beaten in a landslide and would thus be an ideal martyr? Perhaps it was to say that while most of American women are Democrats, it is important for women to vote for other women regardless of ideology. While the purpose of a documentary is to inform the viewer of all sides of a topic, some tangible research and proof is certainly lacking in this film. My biggest pet peeve of any type of documentary is to address a problem without successfully introducing solutions. Is the solution to vote for women regardless of ideology? Your guess is as good as mine. Other than being a Republican woman in a clearly liberal state, Csendes has many other things going against her. While that makes many sympathetic for her, itis clear in the video clips of her with the voting population that she is tired, short-tempered and not interested in what the voters have to say. The camera often catches her frowning, blatantly ignoring a Documentary Commentary voter's question or comment, and avoiding questions posed by voters. This is bad for any candidate, regardiess of gender or party. However, itis evident that Csendes is going to have to work harder to achieve her goal, as she is a Republican. I's obvious that the state of New York is not afraid of a woman (even one not native to NY) in the US Senate; just look at Hillary Clinton. The most interesting person interviewed was Sherrye Henry, a prominent woman in the feminist movement. She argues that women hurt themselves in politics by saying that they care about womens issues, but on Election Day, they fail to prove it when they cast their vote. Phyllis Schlafly, an easy target for feminists, was also interviewed. Schlafly is an extremely conservative woman whose very life contradicts her message. She preaches that feminists are ruining society for both men and women because they demand rights of women. She argues that women belong in the home and that every woman should find a man to take care of her. However, Schlafly worked her way through Harvard and went on to get her Masters. Perhaps a good question to ask her in the documentary would have been, Why are you preaching to women not to work, when you yourself are well-educated and work? instead, Maneiski lets the hard questions slide, knowing that her pro-feminist audience hated Schlafly before the documentary began. Political speculation is full of statistics. An alarming statistic quoted by Henry states scientific projections show that it will be "300-700 years before women reach political equality in the United States. This number seems incredibly large. | certainly would like to see the logic behind it. Henry also says that a UN study asserts that it will be 1,000 years before women around the world will reach political equality. Again, I'd like to see proof. If there is one thing Ihave learned in school itis that statistics, if manipulated correctly, can tell you what you want to hear to prove a point. Should women vote for other women despite their political views? Should | jump on Hillary Clinton's bandwagon just because | am a woman? It's going to take a lot to convince me to vote for someone based solely on gender, since | have very litle in common with Clinton ideologically. When voting, one must decide upon the most important issue to them and vote accordingly. If the purpose of this film is to encourage women to vote for women regardless of ideology, how would Manelski feel if Phyllis Schlafly ran? Overall, this film skates around a solution to the problem, creating a game of us v. them, making men the triumphant and women the victims.
