The Pros And Cons Of Dress Codes

Have you ever thought or felt that the dress codes are in to strict? In 2014 a group of kids mainly girls stood up against the strict and sexist dress codes all over the world. Many dress codes are outrageous, a few examples of this would be a junior at a catholic school beating kicked out of prom for wearing a tux to her prom.Dress codes are to strict and sexiest, this can be change by relaxing on the rules and making a more equal dress codes for both men and women.

Dress codes are biased on how the guys portray women in certain out fits. Many dress codes are sexualizing women because the guys will be distracted, this is very true for Woodford high school students. There earlier dress code had prohibited show of the collarbones for females. This has sense changed to the shortest part of a credit card can be shown. Another crazy story is a high school student suspended on her last day of school because school officials said it was to short and she was refusing to change. This dress was past finger tip length and didn't have a keyhole back or even a sweetheart neck line. The dress covered a little above her collarbone to about one inch above her knee. Theas dress code violations prove that we are told to conform to the dress codes because guys will be distracted. They are only distracted if you enforce it which is exactly what is happening.

One of the many effects is that girls are sexualized.

Many school administrators are going off of what they see online. Yes many people will look up to their favorite celebrity, but this doesn't mean that the want to dress exactly like them. Sexualizing girls can leave a negative effect on them as they grow older. All dress codes show girls is that they are sexual objects and we don't have any control over our body and feelings. We're being punished for what others do to us, we don't want this to happen

either.

My proposal is simple. Spaghetti straps are nice in early fall and late spring because of how warm it is outside, but shoudent be worn with braletts but sports bras are fine as they cover most of the chest anyway. The fingertip rule for shorts and skirts isn't fair and neither is this many inches above the knee. Theas are not fair as all students bodies are different. The fingertip rule doesn't work because taller people can wear shorter skirts because they have longer legs and if someone shorter shears the same height skirt they would get in trouble because it wooden they reach or pass the fingertips. This also goes for the height above the knee rules. Theas are just a few solutions to start.

Teacher and administrators my disagree with this, but this can possibly cut down on dress code violations and parents sewing schools over theas facts. They think that the dress codes in place now are to keep us safe from beating sexualy exploited when that is exactly what they are doing to most women. The dress codes in place can cause us to overheat during the early spring days when the weather is warming up and the heat is still on. This can also cause more stress when they are not shure weather what they are wearing is appropriate or not. This can distract the student and cause them to score lower on tests and quizzes than they should.

The dress codes need to change. This will cause less conflicts not only with legal issues but also controversy in the media. Theas are quick and easy fixes if you choose to accept them. They are small changes that will help people view the schools in the media in a better light rather than the negative light they are in now. The dress codes need to change, and fast
