at a prestigious boston school, they have a pretty strict dress code. no gang-related colors, no cut-offs, nothing too offensive or revealing. 




women at boston latin school can<u+2019>t wear skirts whose hemlines are more than four inches above the knee and their bra straps can<u+2019>t be the <u+201c>spaghetti<u+201d> style, where they<u+2019>re so thin they<u+2019>re barely there. this is a middle and high school folks <u+2026> not a college for adults. 




it<u+2019>s a way of showing a little decorum <u+2013> a little respect for yourself and for the school. 




and it promotes rape culture . 




because for radical feminists, telling them not to dress provocatively is telling them that men are sexist pigs who simply can<u+2019>t resist the wiles of a woman. 




they call it <u+201c>victim-blaming<u+201d> and while there<u+2019>s a point to it <u+2013> you can<u+2019>t blame a woman for being assault if she<u+2019>s jogging alone in a park, but certainly you can bring up a woman<u+2019>s attire if it is specifically designed to attract attention from the opposite sex. 




let<u+2019>s be honest: women sometimes dress for attention. they want guys to look at them. 




but under leftist-feminist theory, they shouldn<u+2019>t. 




so, as heatstreet reports, there<u+2019>s a change.org petition that claims this dress code sends the message that <u+201c>we live in a patriarchal society where men can decide whether a female<u+2019>s clothing is appropriate or inappropriate.<u+201d> 




the dress code, they claim, creates a <u+201c>a sense of shame towards girls [sic] bodies<u+201d> and reinforces the notion that <u+201c>yes, it is our fault when girls get raped because they should have covered up and avoided the situation by dressing in a way that does not attract another person.<u+201d> 




i<u+2019>m not sure what these women want. do they want to be able to attend school wearing micro-miniskirts and just bras? pasties? maybe we shouldn<u+2019>t have a dress code at all? 




in reaction to the idiotic controversy, boston latin school changed their policy, allowing women to wear <u+201c>leggings<u+201d> as long as they<u+2019>re not <u+201c>see-through.<u+201d> the rest of the policy will stay in place until nov. 1 <u+2013> then it will probably be changed again. 




here<u+2019>s how their <u+201c>petition<u+201d> reads: by allowing the school to dress code us, we are telling the school several things: yes, we still live in a patriarchal society where men can decide whether a female<u+2019>s clothing is appropriate or inappropriate. yes, a body should be covered in order to be attractive. establishing a sense of shame towards girls bodies is okay and perfectly acceptable. yes, a girl<u+2019>s body is a sinful temptation that needs to be covered up at all costs for others to focus on their education. yes, a female<u+2019>s body is more tempting and sexual than a male<u+2019>s body. yes, it is our fault when girls get raped because they should have covered up and avoided the situation by dressing in a way that does not attract another person. are these statements correct to you? is it okay to assign a dress code in this manner? if the answer is no! then sign this petition to tell mr. contompasis to reconsider his dress code restrictions. 




what a bunch of nonsense. these are children. they do not get a say in establishing a school<u+2019>s dress code. period.
leftists claim dress code promotes <u+201c>rape culture<u+201d>
