Yes, boys can be subjected to ridiculous school rules too, but an increasing number of girls have been speaking out in recent years to challenge dress codes that tend to be more restrictive for female students than their male peers. Often it’s those male peers that many school administrators call to mind when lecturing female students. One Michigan principal went viral in 2015 for stating dress codes are made to protect girls from becoming “sex objects.” “Being wired more visual, males are attracted to shape and skin,” Jim Bazen said in his now infamous rant. “Yes, a lot of bare skin or tightly covered (Spandex!) skin is a sexual distraction to a male. He will say, the more skin the better … but this leads him to treat women as ‘sex objects’ rather than respect her for who she is. So, it would seem to me, that if you do not want women treated as ‘sex objects,’ you should tell them to cover more skin.” The attitudes are unfair both to boys who are perfectly capable of existing in a classroom with a girl’s clavicle without ripping her clothes off and ravishing her, and to girls who are being held responsible not just for their own bodies but boys’ too. Still, some say dress codes are there to protect students, so we decided to take a look at just what students are being protected from. Behold the outfits that schools have deemed wanting … and for which girls lost precious class time to be lectured, forced to change, and in some cases threatened with severe punishment. So much for that fingertip rule, huh? More from CafeMom: 15 Ways We Can Teach Our Daughters to Love Their Bodies “This is a good kid who missed 15 minutes of a science power point to change. Boys cat call in the hallways. Touch her inappropriately. Make sexual advances toward her. And the school is worried about her white tank top? This is public education. This is our tax dollars,” her mom wrote on Instagram.
