Settle an argument - can you form a straight line from knee to toe?

[GimmeAy]

Weird title I know. Apologies.
But myself and OH were just discussing my legs. Or more specifically my foot.
I was stretching my leg/foot out (as one does) and he jumped in horror saying 'Ew, that's disgusting?' After much questioning it transpires that I can bend my foot down enough with an outstretched leg so that it's just one straight line (hard to explain).
He tried it and his ankles won't go halfway near to a straight line with his leg.
Is it men? Is it me (dancer all my youth) or can everybody but him do it and I'm not a freak?

I can do it.

Yes, but I was also a dancer 🤷‍♀️

I can, and I most certainly was not a dancer. I do have very flexible joints though.

I can do that and I'm not a dancer. Think he's just inflexible.

I can do it and I have fairly bad mobility in general and restricted movement in several joints. I was a ballet dancer as a child for a couple of years though.

Yes, also did ballet for a short time when young (2-3 years). DH can't.

Yes I can do that.

I can do it, and I’m no dancer!

I can do it . Not a dancer.

I can do it too. He’s the odd one

I'm sat trying this... I can't do it. My foot will literally brake off before that is ever straight 😂

Both DH and I can do it. I struggle in my left foot because of an injury.

I can too. Not a dancer. But then my knees bend backwards too.

Haha - see I knew it! He's the bloody freak!

I can, but I'm hyper mobile.

I wonder if females are more bendy than males in general. I may ask husband just for an experiment.

No way!

I can and am most definitely not a dancer.

The "normal range" with most things is quite wide, there's rarely one normal, but you are certainly within the normal range of that's as far as it goes.

I can do it, I did tap dancing when I was young but I roller skate not, dunno if that helps though!

Yes. But I have a high instep. Sadly, I will never be a ballerina 😂

I can do it, however after a short while I get a cramp in the arch of my foot 🤦‍♀️

Actually, do you mean pointing your toe straight down, in line with your leg?

I can and not a dancer. Indeed I bend enough at the ankle to go beyond straight!

Very much so, but I was a gymnast.
Dh can’t but i believe it’s a thing that men find difficult.

I can. Maybe it's a man/woman thing. Have you seen the one with the chair? It's supposedly if you bend forward at the waist until your head touches the wall and your back is flat, women can stand up from this position and pick a chair up from in front of them, men supposedly can't. There's loads of videos of it online and it's very divided by sex. Although dh can do it.
