Explain why dress code is unfair to women

@Duchess
Sheesh. Not related to the topic at hand (dress code), but in 5th grade I had accidentally made a swastika out of little connecting bricks, thinking it was a ninja star or something. I didn’t know anything about history at this point, and was extremely confused when I was scolded and banned from messing with the blocks for a while. Only recently (a few years ago) learned what it was, and I feel rather violated for not being educated with a scolding from a teacher.

@alex ngl I’ve been thinking, First time I’ve said this to anyone but myself, but since march 14th 2023, I haven’t felt… Nonbinary. Nor trans. Like I feel more fem. So I was thinking for a while to try out Demigirl, See how presenting as a demigirl feels, and how society feels about it.
I’m actually a but scared to say it here ngl.
Even till this day, i’m still finding myself.

Whatever you find yourself to be will always be valid as long as you are comfortable with it.
I also remembered that I do have an image of myself that I wouldn’t mind sharing because it’s from around 2019, before I actually properly came out, so my hair was substantially shorter at the time, and I looked like I had just gotten high off my ass. Hence the name “Blaze (alias at the time) but high”.
I would just need to find the image somewhere. I know it exists; maybe on an old phone? -
@alex Oh thats good!
-
I once saw a lady only wearing a bra.

@alex Also thanks <33

@RaeTaylor
I have been enlightened; I now understand the true meaning behind your being and every saying.

once when i was still going to public school i got dresscoded for having words and a picture on my shirt
-
Must’ve been a really strict public school.
-
@alex apparently some kid wore a shirt that said “fuck society” on it with a picture of a middle finger on it and now words and pictures on clothing are banned from that school
-
Okay that’s understandable, but still collective punishment, which is…illegal
But the government doesn’t care, and most public schools are owned by a city, state, or country. -
@alex yes
-
@alex Wow, they should have asked you if you even knew what that was first.

I heavily agree with this, people like to act like the dress code “is fair” and like women just want to “dress like sluts” by wearing any part of their body out when the reality is that these dress codes were created in an irrelevant time when women were forced to be modest. And to an extent, I get it. No, you don’t want girls showing up to school in inappropriate things but is it killing anyone for a girl to wear leggings? Or show her stomach? It’s really not that bad honestly and I hate how it’s so targeted. One time, when I was in elementary school, I was dress coded over the fact i was wearing leggings. Because they were “too tight and revealing”. Now granted, I have always been on the more developed side due to jeans, more curvy, etc. But dude, I was in the 2nd grade. Literally no one is worried about that then.
