    My male teacher had me call home because the holes in my pants were too “high”. After our encounter he had a talk with the class. He said things like “Girls should NOT wear pants that have holes above the knees” “ it makes me and my male students uncomfortable” “No one wants to see your big thighs”. He began threatening suspension. He was to worried about our pants to focus on the fact that his punishments were taking time from our education.

  • @ghost-the-ghost93

    My entire life,I've always been told:
    "Here's the rules for school:
    •no fighting, even if they hit you first
    •never wear a shirt without tucking it into your jeans first
    •keep your head down, don't draw attention
    •dont put that rainbow pin on your backpack! It will ruin your reputation!
    •never interact with your gf in more than a platonic/best friends kind of way in public
    •cover up, boys don't know how to control themselves
    •dont shower at school, I don't care how much you stink, boys love sneaking into girls locker room
    But I have never,not once in my life, heard a boy being told this:
    •no means no
    People set expectations too high for girls, and then get angry when we fail to meet those impossible standards. For example:
    •we're always told makeup would make us look prettier, but when we wear it, we're "fake" and "trying to hard"
    •we get told how quiet we are,but when we start talking, we're apparently "talking too much"
    •we can't express ourselves through clothing, bc "looks are the reputation of the eyes"
    This is really not fair to us...

      Honestly I don’t understand this
      In my skool they have this super strict dress code like we can’t even wear 6inch skirts and we have to have long sleeves or if we’re wearing short sleeves it needs to be till our elbows
      We can’t wear sweatpants or leggings bc they reveal our “behind” we can either wear the skool uniform (which is hella hot like we gotta wear the when it’s snowing crazy asf outside and the wether is freezing kinda like the poles) or we gotta wear like a full on formal thing they were to someone’s grave when they die.(no offence jus tryna like explain wut it looks like and feels like)
      Anyhow in our skool boys actually control themselves very well like they can control themeselves and they say we’re distracting the boys when all we’re distracting are old people working there giving us education.
      Bruh my friend literally went to our headmasters office for violating dress code and the MAN THE DUDE LITERALLY SEDUCES AND TRIES TO HAVE THE “THING” with my 15 yr old lesbian friend.
      Honestly Idk wut to say and since there was no evidence that this happened the skool didn’t rlly try to look into it and the police were like: “your jus a bunch of kids wut would u know” like in these cases the police should at least be there for u and help u isn’t that why they exist in the first place?
      And yea this was a kinda weird story or wutever but like honestly it’s rlly annoying me.

      Exactly! I came back from school a year ago from a small vacation and I always hang out with the same group, sometimes the people who play football/watch them (boys and girls). And course, since us females have to have so many dress codes, I got in trouble because I was breaking like three dress codes? Shoulders, legs (jeans had holes in them) and then some other one that I can't remember.
      I swear to the all spark. None of the boys stared at mw like the teachers said they would- It was a normal day. I watched them play football, and the girls won (because it wad the first game they started and thw boys always say they go easy on the girl's) then my group came over, convinced me to go join tag with another group of football players which forgot their football, and so I did.
      Near the end of the break we were walking back to go get ready to go inside and one of the boys, I'ma call him N, says "Oooh *;-;;-;* is breaking the dress codes.".
      And I just laughed it off. "N, how?"
      Then he nodded to my shoulders but then went straight back to walking his ex walk off.

    When my peer asked why our teachers say revealing our shoulders is a distraction to boys, my teacher said it was an attractive nuisance. For those of you who don’t know; an attractive nuisance is when you have something in your yard, like a pool, and if someone trespasses and gets injured in the pool, you’re liable. The comparison is pretty much saying that if you are sexually harassed or raped, you’re liable because of your outfit choice.

      You ranted, here's mine.
      I worked around the dress code that I had because I struggled with my looks and self esteem. All the other girls wore tight fitting polos and pants that looked like they were painted on, they didn't need the belts that were required because everything fit perfectly. I was hiking up my pants at least three times a day, even with a belt. I drowning in my oversized polos, screaming silently as I tried to claw my way to the top, past the girls who were nothing more than makeup, gossip, and lies. I drowned in the school system, because no one questioned the girl who wore baggy clothes. It was assumed I was trying to get attention from the boys, when in reality I was faced with the brutal reality where to be popular you need to be mean, to be pretty you have to be skinny, to be perfect you had to be stupid. I look back at those years, and I want to change something, anything. But I can't. So I sit and remember the girl who was ignored because she wasn't pretty or popular. I pray that none of you will suffer in silence like I did.

    Every single time and we all laugh even though really kind of frustrating.

We should be able to wear whatever we want without any criticism or harrassment. I thino boys should learn to control themselves. Im 12 and not all but a lot of boys at my school are disrespectful to girls so we have to change but they are still allowed to be disrespectful, disgusting, and they are allowed to not keep their hands to themselves but we have to change we have to change ourselves so we can be respected. Its completely idiotic and backwords and its not just school is society in general.

      Hannah Lewis in seventh grade: i stopped wearing a bra. since then i have received no hate, or judgement from anyone... except my mom. the worst part is that not wearing a bra made me feel like myself, and comfortable, and everything a girl deserves to feel in her clothing. she still says, "i just don't want people to judge you." it hurts so much more coming from someone you love. i used to judge other girls, too, but stopped in 7th grade when i realized just how disgusting it was.

    Why are girls told to cover themselves? “It’s to distracting” is getting old, instead of girls needing to cover up every inch of their body boys should be told what is right and wrong, what is appropriate and inappropriate, how to act and how not to act. ‘Surprisingly’ boys *CAN* control themselves, and not all of them are constantly thinking about girls and our bodies.

    I love this because it doesn't make men out to be the bad guys in the situation either. It's the social ideology that's put in the spotlight, because guys aren't getting distracted by this until they're taught that it's distracting. Objectifying women isn't something people are born doing, it's something they're taught to do, and this poem does a really, REALLY good job of stating that.

    So my first guy friend Chris was like “ oh yea guys I couldn’t focus when I saw a tiny bit of her skin. It was just sooo distracting” and then another guy I’m kind of close with was like “I know no wonder I’m failing this class. God women’s skin the most distracting thing ever” then Chris started talking again and was like “Honestly teach none of us get distracted. If guys are creeps they’re creeps they’ll hit on girls who are in the baggiest clothing so if anyone’s getting distracted it’s you” we all got sent to the office but it was pretty funny
