My daughter gets dress coded more than I think she should. I personally think it’s because she is a bigger girl. The worst was when an administrator dress coded her after she took her school photo at meet the teacher night. We were with her, she was not dress inappropriately at all! She was excited about the new dress she had just gotten. It was modest, discovered her bra completely. Yes, she had some cleavage on show, but not worth dress coding her for a photo we were buying! And I can’t count the number of times shorts have been an issue. I have to buy men’s basketball shorts or they are “too short.”
Karyn supported: Equalize Greenville County's Sexist Dress CodeMe and many other women in my school have been shamed for wearing a popular brand some may know, comfys. Every girl I know, including myself, have been dress coded for this piece of cloth. Yet every day, I see an increasing number of boys wearing the very same thing. Despite this, adults turn a blind eye. This is only one of hundreds of incidents I’ve witnessed and been a part of, and it’s getting tiring.
Kate supported: End gender bias in our dress code!As a parent of two girls, one at Wilson, I agree with this completely! It’s not our girls jobs to keep the boys jobs from being distracted. It’s the boys job to keep themselves under control. While I understand there has to be parameters there needs to be equal parameters.
Mandi supported: End gender bias in our dress code!I have had many friends get dress coded. Although I have never gotten dress coded myself, I never wear anything that could be even close to getting dress coded because the rules have made me insecure of getting looked at. They say it’s for our protection, yet they make women insecure about getting sexualized for wearing a shirt or skirt; I have never seen someone get catcalled for having shoulders and if they do, don’t punish the victim punish the men who think that way.
Mia supported: End gender bias in our dress code!We shouldn’t be teaching girls to cover up, we should be teaching boys to keep their hands to themselves and not be distracted by it. By telling a woman at a young age what she wears matters, shows them if someone does something bad to them it was their fault. Be the change in the world.
Chelsey supported: End gender bias in our dress code!It’s the big 2025. It’s ridiculous that this is something we still have such an issue with we shouldn’t be worrying about what students are wearing rather what they’re learning showing them that you’re sexualizing what they’re wearing is what you’re teaching them by the current dress code policy And do you really feel that this is something you would want to continue teaching for future generations in the big year 2025 mini women have experienced the downsides of these dress codes and it’s time to change that it’s time to do better and teach our children better rather than teaching them to sexualize their body Before they even understand
