The piece and petition is about high heels as part of a required dress code for work. Who's "we"? Plenty of people still choose to wear corsets (and related garments like waist trainers, boned dresses etc). I'm sure plenty more will continue to wear heels, many even to work, once* they are no longer required dress code.

I was referring to the type of corsets worn in the 1700/1800s, the sort that were extremely tight, uncomfortable, potentially damaging to health. High heels worn for most of the time are also damaging. I like to think that there will come a time when civilised society (that's the 'we' I am referring to) will identify the wearing of uncomfortable clothes for the absurdity it surely is.
In any case, it's not like there's no smart alternative to high heels.

One day they'll be looked back upon quizzically the way we now view corsets.
Oh yeah - and men in smart shoes and trousers but no socks. And men who leave the top three buttons of their shirt undone, especially if they're over 30.
