I realize you're probably going to delete this reply, like you did Not-you's, but the idea that any of the examples of dress codes pertain solely to having students cover their privates is a laughable strawman. There are larger, gendered issues in this discussion and you know it.

A lot of people pointed out to me that there's a huge issue with the fingertip rule. It only works if you are proportioned accordingly. Some people's "fingertips" extend to different places. Some hit mid thigh, some hit above the knee, etc. That creates a unfair standard of judgement, you know? It's telling people…

There is no "common sense" when it comes to dress codes, only institutional and cultural norms. These vary from place to place.

I'm totally with you on people needing structure and boundaries but I don't think that nail polish is the place to impose that. I want to make sure my kids are disciplined, hard working, respectful, kind, etc. and if they want to do that in sparkly neon nail polish that's fine by me. I don't see anything inappropriate…

Wow, so your reply to me was just, "try harder"? Our entire fashion culture is about exposing women's skin, and when that becomes nearly the only fashion available, we get skewered for actually wearing it? This is another example of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" sexism/double-standards that haunt women every…

I'm probably going to hate myself for knowing this but no Imogen got in trouble for not wearing a bra at all so she protested by wearing a bra over her shirt and dressing as a nun. Anyway, she got the dress code revised, after finding out that a bunch of niners wanted to change the dress code in order to dress in a…

Nope... this is just plain stupidity. The concept of 'appropriate colours' and 'inappropriate colours' has no bounds of reason. It's just fucking dumb. So what... we're going to start shaming people for the particular colours they like, too?

"improper weekend colours"?

Where we're from, clothes are designed in such a way that it can be nearly impossible to not show your bra straps, especially with summer coming up. I just wanted to buy a t-shirt from a store and ended up with a shirt that had a lacy cutout in the back to perfectly show my bra straps. The only way to not show my bra…

They want to say "cleavage" but such a description in print in the school handbook would be considered pornographic and tempting to young boys' nethers.

Seriously. I mean. We HAVE to wear bras but they have to be INVISIBLE. This stuff is such garbage.

They should just go bra-less. No straps then suckas!

Yep and i can't at some people on this site who do not understand why it is offensive.

Let's play a game called "guess who is a racist, yellow face wearing douchebag"

"Looking healthy" is a misnomer. Thin people can be healthy and fat people can be healthy. You can't judge a person's health by their body size. My weight fluctuates, but I always have very protruding hipbones. So protruding that I actually frequently hit them on door frames or the edges of tables (hurts like you…

If you've seen one big-tittied blonde, you've seen them all.

I've worked now in three offices, two of which were Japanese. The worst I ever got for wearing jeans outside of "biz cas Fri" was a gentle email reminder that slacks were required on Thursdays.

I can just imagine the school officials' thinking here:

You can't see it in this picture, but this grape-purple prom contraption is NOT dress. One side of the top ruffled all the way down to the floor, and the pants were huuuuge flowy ruffly pants.

Oh, horseshit. It's 2014. Let kids wear what they want. The school doesn't even have a dress code for prom, so she's not breaking any rules. And that outfit is fucking chic.
