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?

I think the dress code is unfair in most situations. Boys are able to show their shoulders and girls arent. But there is a time where the dress code needs to be enforced, some clothes are innopropriate for school. But I do think the dress code should be re-written to better fit todays "style".
I think that yes, sometimes dress codes can be unfair towards girls but I also think that not all guys are going to be all "oooh damn, look at that girls shoulders!" I feel like everyone should be able to dress the way they want to EXPECIALLY now that we're in high school people should be able to be more mature about their reactions towards other people bodies and how they choose to dress. But I guess I could see how some people might be uncomfortable on how their classmates dress.
I agree. But most of schools just try to act like its distracting. When its not. They know they will get called out for it if someone says something. Women dont always try to intend on showing their body parts off. its what we were born with and why do they want to make us feel ashamed of having those parts?
Dress codes are 100% aimed more towards girls, but I feel like we also take it upon ourselves to wear shorter clothing. I don't think they are necessarily unfair, but I feel as a girl with a flatter chest you aren't as noticed for wearing a low cut shirt as someone with a bigger chest. To prevent the amount of dress codes there are in school, I feel like we could revamp the dress code system and make it fit more to today's "style".
I agree! But it should not matter if girls have a bigger chest or smaller. Girls are girls and need to be treated the same as others. If a girl with a bigger chest gets in trouble for wearing a short shirt then so should girls with smaller chest.
Dress codes are aimed towards girls but it makes sense. Girls are the ones who are going to wear crop tops and short shorts, not guys. However, girls with bigger chests are going to be more noticable in a crop top than a flat chested girl. To prevent could rewrite the rules.
Dressed codes are biased. We can see that it is evident and prejudiced against girls. Dress codes need to be rewritten, especially since they were most likey written in a time that was very conservative and different. Times have changed. We can prevent this by simply updating our policies and realizing that if a girl wears a tank top, its alright.
I think that schools are a little biased towards boys on the dress code. I have only ever seen girls get dress coded. Girls can't show their shoulders but boys can. But, I do think that a little dress code to keep everyone covered and appropriate would be good.
yes, I feel that they are unfair, I feel that as long as you are clothed to a certain extent there should be no problem but i can understand how some people could feel uncomfortable about some of the outfits that their classmates choose.
I believe that there is no way of preventing it and that it will stay in the handbook.
I agree!! But what about summer? Girls want to wear tank tops in warm weather. But cant. boys can and I seem to think its not fair.
