Dunno about around the back, but I can touch my belly button from the front. Boop. #notaclone #probablyamammal

In my old Jiu Jitsu class, I had the strange renown of being the person who demo-ed how to do shoulder locks on someone with very, VERY tight shoulders. My shoulders are so inflexible that the slightest fuckup on a joint lock would totally ruin their day. Most people can handle at least a little of a hammer lock. Me?…

YES. GOLD.

I’ve nearly had car accidents because I was staring at a shirtless jogger. Your assumptions about women are absurd.

But you can’t forget the greatest Ascot look of all time

People in college, law school, and med school go to class looking like slobs. Holding high school students to a higher standard is absurd.

As someone who had to wear uniforms, I’d have to vote against it. It really affected me, because I looked awful in the uniforms that a lot of other girls looked great in. Super short torso and I had to tuck my shirt in? Ugh. To this day I refuse to wear polos and button-ups. It also hindered my ability to find out…

How on earth can you say that women dressing modestly protects boys? What from, protects them from the rapant desire to rape? When you say this you to an injustice to both girls and boys; why set the bar so low?

Try “Girls wear clothing they deem flattering and comfortable; Boys learn to deal with it, including handling instances of untimely arousal.” You know, like grown-ups.

HHAAAAA........whhhuuuut? I would argue my point further with you, but after checking out your discussions page and seeing your thoughts on the transgender/race debate, I will save myself the trouble. GOOD DAY TO YOU, SIR OR MADAME.

Teaching young women that there is some kind of inherent shame in their bodies, and to view non-sexual body parts (i.e. midriffs) in a sexualised manner, does not create a respectful or happy learning environment for them though.

I absolutely disagree. As a university professor I see both male and female students show up in my class dressed in what you label ‘club clothes’. At least 40% of my first year class of about 400 students dress this way each week. No one is sent to the ‘office’ no one is reprimanded and believe it or not everyone is…

Hi! I was a teacher at a school with a strict dress code. Teachers also had to follow the dress code. I was the only Hispanic teacher in the school, which had about 35% Hispanic students. I saw how female students who were not super skinny were followed down the hallway and told in front of their friends that their…

Wearing a sleeveless top or dress or wearing shorts when the weather is warm is not the same thing as capitulating to the fashion industry selling us sex. Not everything is about men’s boners. Forcing modesty on girls doesn’t empower them. But you’re right that it protects boys. Not from girl’s slutty vixeny ways…

I find her wit distracting, frankly.

Not only is it ingrained, it’s useless!! As someone with a long torso and comparatively short legs, I could (and still can) get away with wearing super short dresses that still technically fit in to this stupid rule.

All of this makes me so sad.

When I was a teenager, I thought for sure that at some point I would just get old enough that something in my head would click, and all of a sudden I would understand and subscribe to the rationale underlying the completely bullshit dresscodes imposed upon young women in school.

Let’s face it. My gender is a fragile disaster waiting to happen. When a pretty lady, or a mostly-pretty lady, or...hell, any lady at all, looks at us, we go to pieces. We’re too emotional, not in control of our desires, and cannot act rationally in the face of the opposite sex. When spurned by any person possessed of…

The standing up straight thing is very real. My boobs are huge, and if I stand up straight, it looks like I’m thrusting them out. After being accused of showing off one too many times, it’s easier to slouch.
