Lmao I don’t mind dress codes at times but at my school you can wear really shorts that at least go to your fingertips but you can’t wear jeans with holes above the knee?

Wow that’s interesting, it’s so different from here… here we can wear see through shirts and shorts that barely cover anything and no one really cares. I’ve never had any of my friends get in trouble for what they wear.

True that.
You wouldn’t want to go wear ripped skinny jeans with a crop top to a job interview since no one would take you seriously.

Yeah exactly. And some jobs have them to show that you’re part of a team and the company and stuff, so it’s understandable.

I agree. Like if you work as a lawyer, you would have to dress professionally.

I have to disagree with that, women can wear revealing clothing and that will more and like be the reason, people aren’t just thinking about one gender

Exactly.

I’m cool with dress codes, because some kids may have dirty clothes, or maybe some can’t afford it, and will get bullied for that.

Dress codes are a way to over sexualize women’s bodies and then shame them and their bodies at the same time. So basically a way for men to shame women for no reason.

i don’t think that’s necessarily true. Women should be able to show what they want of their bodies without it being DiStRaCtInG. I’ll agree if a girl is wearing booty shorts and a crop top it makes sense for them to get dress coded but it’s not fair to say that it’s a women’s fault for doing that or for saying that men will just inevitably be distracted by a woman’s body. Like maybe they should just not care about her body and think about what she’s saying, that’s just my opinion though.

They should not care?

But they do. Unless they have some kind of hormonal issue, dysfunction or complicated mental state. Men are evolutionary programmed to pay attention to these things. So you saying “they should not care” has nothing to do with biology, and based on unrealistic feminist expectations :woman_shrugging:

Well honestly I know plenty of men who don’t have a hormone imbalance, who are straight and who don’t actually pay more attention to women’s cleavage and i think it’s a bit rude of you to assume, that ALL men are like that, but go off i guess:

It’s not rude. It’s biology :woman_shrugging:
And how do you know if men pays attention to women cleavage or not? I mean sure they don’t pay attention to some they aren’t attracted to,or if their mind is very occupied with something.
I dunno how stating facts is rude? I’m not criticizing men for this. I accept it.

It depends how far it goes for me. I can understand basic dress code rules in a school for everyone like, no see-through tops, no super super deep tops, no half ass shorts. But dumb ones, like no shoulders? I’m sorry, what? Who has ever been turned on by shoulders? And only for girls? I’m sorry, no. No bra straps? So, society tells us to wear bras, but freaks out when they catch a glimpse of a bra strap. No. I can also understand basic rules for workplaces that want to maintain a professional look or have a uniform.

I know you aren’t criticizing men but I still don’t think it’s a very good ideology to think that men are these sexual animals who will always pay attention to women’s bodies. But hey, think what you want.

Paying attention to physiology because it’s implemented deep in your psych doesn’t make them sexual animals. It is a perfectly normal thing, and I honestly dunno why u r so bugged about it. People are animals actually. It doesn’t mean sex is the only thing we think about.
And I don’t need permission to think what I want, but thanks. :ok_hand:

This is getting a bit off topic so I’m just not going to reply with an argument.
