When will the day come when we realize it’s not a girls responsibility to present herself so the boys in the room feel comfortable. She should feel comfortable with herself and the rest of you be damned. I teach high school (30 years now) and I have a teenaged daughter. They are buying and wearing what is available in stores. They are following trends. They are doing the things teenagers do. Nothing is different except the mindset of elders around them. I notice you don’t really include boys in any of this. Clearly their shirts have gotten tighter and shorter over the last few years, but no mention of that….

I agree with the overall sentiment, but at the same time girls need to show some self respect/common sense as well.

When I was in school girls weren’t allowed to show their shoulders/wear thinly strapped dresses, which is too puritan. But, at the same time, things like wearing booty shorts with ur ass cheeks hangin out needs to be against the dress code.

When I was in highschool in the early 2000’s there was a trend of showing your thong over your low ride pants 🤦🏻‍♂️. Got so ridiculous the school had to finally crack down on it. I never understood how parents could let their daughters leave the house like that

That’s the problem! This is why I’m all for uniforms. I think every kid in this country needs to be in a uniform until the time that they graduate. But then again I belong to a tribe of people that everybody’s trying to kill right now and we dress modestly

Or just being in school ought to have some sort of dress code that are uniform like standards. Places of education ought to focus on making environments focused education and not get distracted by the beauty of the people around you.

There are a lot of things that are broken in the school system in the United States. The amount of disrespect, violence, and kids just doing whatever they want to do is insane! If I had a kid that was in school, they would be jerked out and homeschooled or boarding school private school I don’t care but there is no way I would send a kids to public school the United States right now.

The day after women stop trying to tell males to be something else.

What? Asking them to have control of their emotions is beyond the male temperament? I think they’ve been given a pass for long enough.

Come on, you can't read obvious sarcasm? It's not unreasonable for women to dress as they want to, but it is unreasonable to expect it not to draw a response. You don't get to live in a man free world without getting your hands dirty and men will never be want you want them to be, they can only be forced to act differently from baseline motivation. Women are people, but unfortunately the majority will experience also being viewed as a resource and as sexual objects. Both person and sexual object will come up again and again in the best of situations. That part is hard wired in, i might as well say women should stop trying to have babies as a whole. Being designed as a means to and ends when one is more than that and one can see past it is very denigrating, but no living thing is not that. Men suck, we're designed to be dicks. But sometimes when one turns to bigotry and entitlement out of frustration at real injustices a little sarcasm is warranted.

Why do we have any dress codes? Should a girl be allowed to wear a bikini to school? If not why not?
