Taniya, I love all of the points you make. I think I can bring an interesting side to this discussion being a male. I strongly agree with your argument, and can even attest to the fact that many body parts that are banned to show, theoretically are not distracting to most men. The double standards for men and women in schools is horrific and needs more attention so I really appreciate this article!

I agree with dress codes! especially at my school our school says we aren´t allowed to wear crop tops I wanna know why? whats wrong with showing a little stomach I think teachers are over reacting they act like we aren´t wearing any clothes at all. Dress codes should change it´s not fair.

Taniya, I completely agree with you! Our handbook has so many rules about dress code and almost none of them apply to the boys. I understand that to a certain extent it’s not okay to wear certain things, but for the most part it is your body and should be your choice. Especially when someone says it is distracting for others because everyone that’s not your fault, it’s theirs for being distracted. Thank you for posting!
