What's the big deal with dress codes? Women get shamed for wearing a tank top into school. What's wrong with showing shoulders? Women get a lot more hate on their outfits that they choose to wear to school. Why is this? Most schools only focus on the girls clothes. But when Men wear cut offs, that's okay? Studies show that women get the most hate on a daily basis for what they wear to school. Studies show that when you interrupt a girls school day to have them change it ruins their whole self esteem, and confidence. I see how it can do that. Girls don't want to be told what they can and can't wear. When they feel pretty and confident in what their wearing, let them be. As a example, skirts, dresses, ripped jeans, shorts, tank tops, and a crop top. Who cares if your shoulders, belly, thighs, and arms are showing. What is so distracting about that? Maybe teach men how to be appropriate about it. There is nothing wrong with showing your curves. All bodies are beautiful, but the dress code shames those women who have confidence in themselves.
Boys and Men don't take it appropriately. It's always a comment on how a girl dresses throughout the day. Why can a boy get away with wearing cut offs, cut jeans that show their underwear? How is this fare? What is so different about a girl showing skin and a boy showing skin?
Do you think dress codes are unfair?
What do you think we could do to prevent this?

Yes, I think that the dress codes are unfair to women. While men can wear crop tops, spaghetti straps, and smaller shorts, women are ogled for any of these items of clothing. Even normal t-shirts can be seen as "too promiscuous" when girls wear them.
I think that the dress codes should stay the same. Guys also get dress coded if they wear their lifting cut-off around school and girls also tend to wear much shorter clothes. The dress code for girls is the same one for guys the guys don't wear clothes that show their skin.
How so? Men always wear cut offs and never get in trouble. Men can also wear tanktops with no problem of being shammed for it. Men can wear jeans with holes in their butt, but girls cant have ones that show their thighs? Seems pretty sexist to me.
I agree, by making us girls only wear certain clothes and guys can get away with almost anything they wear. And why can't we do this? Because guys get distracted? Guys need to grow up and learn how to be mature and not hold us girls back from feeling confindent in ourselves.
I think that dress codes arent necesary because who really cares. Some people are going to be creeps no matter what theyre wearing and if people want to express themselves through their clothing then who really cares about what others want to wear.
I think the dress codes are fine. Girls tend to get dress coded more often, but that is because they choose to wear shorter clothing. If guys were to wear that same kind of clothing, then they would get dress coded. It's shouldn't be a problem because you can just wear clothes that aren't as revealing.
How is this fair to girls though? I understand where your coming from, but its not always about showing "the wrong body parts", its about showing thighs, arms, waist, and how is this fair? It is discriminating a women by interupting her day to make her change by what she felt comfortable in.
I think the dress codes are fine in my opinion. Our dress codes seem pretty fair but mostly girls have a problem with this so I don't know how that is from there view. Girls do tend to push the dress code. But it is not really a problem as girls normally follow what they are supposed to do.
I personally thibk the dress codes are fine. Girls are more targeted because of body parts showing. In order to prevent this, simply stop wearing such short and showey clothing. If girls are getting mad about the dress code think about what your gonna wear.
I personally agree that dress codes are more aimed towards girls. I believe that there does need to be some sort of dress code, but it needs to be revised to fit today's styles. Some of the dress code depends on the teacher as well. What one teacher may see as "distracting" may look completely normal to another teacher.
