I have come to notice

How much more often girls are targeted for Dress code violations than boys are,

Girls are getting fed up with being treated as a distraction.

We are stress coded!

Countless times during summer month's girls' education

Are interrupted by something as simple as a bra strap,

Or too short short's

Or a shoulder showings

To me, that sounds like a load of crap.

Ha, I'm sorry but when did shoulders become sexual?

 

When you interupt something as important as our education

To force us to change clothes,

You are letting us know that our body is more important than our education. 

Again I am sorry but it is very true

You are making us feel ashamed for having normal human anatomy

We go to school with that kind of mentality

That we have to apologize for having breasts, legs and shoulders

Trust me we do not dress up for the flattery of others

Do not tell me it "distracts not all, but most boys"

Tell the boys and your faculty to stop sexualizing MY body parts

I am wearing the clothes I choose to be comfotable in; I wear my clothes for myself and no one else

So what I am saying is to find another strategy

Now I honestly do not think it is unreasonable to tell some students some shorts are too short where it shows her ass cheeks

So maybe a way to fix this issue is to be more specific with the dress code policy

Some things that give girls Some comfort

I have legs, why is that such a surprise?

You are basically telling her ' because your body may distract boys your body is inappropriate. Cover it up.'

You are contextualizing her bosy.

One word

Disguise

To conceal the nature or existence of

Stop making me apologize

Stop making it my fault

We deserve to go to school without worrying about being sexualized and punished for a bra strap

Pssst breasts are not a secret, half the worlds population has them

Now I am not saying we are going to show them off

But we girls should be able to confidently wear what we want

We are mature enought to respect our own bodies

And do not use it just to flaunt

So stop telling her that making sure the boys have a distraction free learning environment is more important then her education.
