High School Boys Wore Dresses to Protest Their School's Dress Code

Cool, thanks for sharing. We definitely need more posts like this here, about doing away with gender stereotypes that hold men and boys down.

Thx for sharing. I applaud those boys. In principal, I don't actually mind school uniforms. What I mind is them being implemented unfairly or forcing kids into tradcon roles. So I suggest a uniform policy that actually does justice to the term uniform by making it "uniform". Duh! Or if one MUST have male/female coded uniforms, at least allow people a choice.

And no doubt there will be some idiot tradcons (I'm sorry about that tautology) who see that idea as the beginning of the end of the world.

I know a bit about how this originally got started or at least in a small way. It was an article I saw a long while back about a boy who was annoyed about having to wear trousers during summer and had look through the school's uniform policy and noticed that they mentioned nothing about the gender when it came to dresses so he wore a dress so he didn't have to deal with wearing trousers when it was hot.

Looks like feminists have gone and taken this idea and turned it into a identity politics war, I actually think school uniforms are utterly pointless but it's one of those things where you know that feminists aren't doing it for the sake of men or letting students wear what they want they're just doing it to push their agenda.

In fact! Damn I'm good! Found the original articles of the person who pretty much did it first.

"He also addressed 1,368 pupils at morning assembly wearing the black skirt, which boys are permitted to wear due to a loophole in the policy."

This isn't a men's rights issue. The justification being used here to protest the code is feminism.Admittedly, the short hair requirement does go overboard and was asking to be disputed, since it goes beyond what the student does during school hours.

Dress codes should be sensible but high school kids will use the rhetoric of feminism to insist girls should be able to wear yoga shorts or a thong to class. At some point, the adults need the authority to tell them they don't get to wear whatever the hell they want.

It's so interesting this kind of topics are not discussed here. I'm guessing why?

At least this had bent to the boys protesting for the boys, but like I would tell the girls the dress will be with you from now on. College, work, and other private places will define how they want you to dress to fit their image or safety of their property.

Where's the shaming?

Shouldn't they be suggesting that boys with long hair and piercings are a sexual distraction to the girls?

Come on school board get your shit together.

I agree with dress codes,because all it will take is for a girl, at the prom,dressed as a boy ,to wander off with a group of boys, and get ganged raped. Will this be her fault, no! People this will evetually go public, because I fear that this has already happened. But for the sake of "gender neutral" or "progressive",adults that know better allow CHILDREN to dictate what they can wear. Remember that the dress code was initiated because of the bullying ,from the well dressed,to the unkept children.Nothing in life is neutral, and in the name of gender neutrality, these feminists, with the agenda to emasculate, and make boys effiminate, are forever trying to get boys to look and act like girls. This is because the VAST MAJORITY OF WOMEN DON'T KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MEN/BOYS. Look at the black community, where the women have been primarily raising the boys, for the last 50 years. Is the black community better off for this, HE'LL NO! We do however have an explosion in homosexuals (lesiban,gays),and at time you couldn't tell wrather a black person were male,female or a drag. But hey gender does T have a role,and therefore gender isn't important. As of today,not the first male has given birth, and not the first female,fought to be the heavy weight boxing champ. Hell women CA t even qualify to compete with the men on the GOLF course. So the solution was to lessen the length of the courses. They tried that,and the women still couldn't qualify;what did happen was some very sub part males qualified ahead of the females. Who am I, to tell nature what's what. Instead these people are teaching the middle school children that there are in fact 6 genders, how that happened I have no clue! My personal favorite is the military lightening the training, in order to get more women on the front lines. So society would wrath error have under trained troops, vs fully trained troops. Side note, we always had women on the front lines, it's these lazy ones who want to sit in the SAFE ZONE, and get paid like they're on the front lines. And we're trying to figure out what's wrong with the youth, the problem lies with the adults,with agendas, pulling on the heart string of people through their kids. I suggest that people who don't view this as a serious topic,should really look at this and say to themselves; how can I use this to manipulate parents. Why is it that if a girl woke up and decided, not to do her hair,she can put on a cap. But us PRIVILEGED BOYS, M.U.S.T. BE WELL GROOMED AT ALL TIMES.
