(Braving here because I want a feminist view)
My daughters school makes the girls wear skorts for pe and games. The boys wear shorts. The girls are not allowed to wear shorts for hockey and pe.
Boys are allowed to leave the school grounds after pe and games in their shorts.
Girls are made to change into jogging bottoms because that's re rules.
At this stage, DD just refuses, they threaten her with detention and she tells them to ring me.
I am going to have to email - so far I've got
It's regulation kit. The school picked it. Therefore if you chose it she's doing nothing wrong in wearing it.
If the boys leave in shorts girls should leave in skorts. Or both in joggers.
It's pure clear sexism. And as such illegal. Treating the girls differently pure on the grounds of their sex.
Is there anything else I can say to make it stronger?
