AIBU to challenge the school’s wording about pupils rolling skirts up?

'Sweaty arse prints'. The bile and vitriol aimed at young girls is absolutely appalling.

They all wear tights, usually thick black tights. These thongs and sweaty arse cheeks are maybe a figment of a rather fevered imagination?

I rest my case 😆

I wonder if they'd all champion the right for men and boys to wear as little as they like too?

I echo this.

Schools are pandering to fashion requirements. Girls' uniforms are already sexualised.

Bring back traditional uniforms.

Well it isnt a good idea. They're right. It violates the dress code. Even my workplace has one. I can't go to work in a microskirt either. (not that i want to!)

Nothing about anything bad happening being anyone's fault. It violates a dress code. Simple as.

There have been numerous posts on this subject with a surprising amount of PPs declaring that young pubescent girls should be allowed to dress as they wish for school, and if that includes displaying their naked arse cheeks, then so be it 🤨

I would ban skirts in schools. I'd be getting whoever is trending online / in music / YT to promote baggy culottes instead. Or capri trousers. Or anything high-waisted, and plenty of room at the crotch. Sick of designers forgetting women's genitals are also on the outside. Or force the uniform to be 'skirts with skin-tight shorts built in'. Make the shorts a minimum length and the kids won't want to pull their skirts up any more for fashion reasons. And even if they do: so what. Problem solved.

I feel that it needs said but there is no way to phase it without someone finding something to complain about. I have been on the bus before and groups of school girls walk past and you can see their bum cheeks. They probably roll them down again before getting into the house (I used to when I was at school) so it's a good idea for parents to make sure their children know the dangers.

I was lucky as I went to school at a time where people didn't have good camera phones and constantly had their phones in their hand. Now everyone is sitting there holding their phones. Times have changed.

Can you explain what you mean please?

You don't think parents have a role?

Dignity, once a regarded moral fabric of society, is dying.

I have seen girls wearing skirts so low that you would mistake them for a belt. The boys, well, they're sagging their grey-coloured boxers, leaving nothing to the imagination.

I am fortunate that my DD and DS attend a private school, and the head teacher is incredibly strict about how the students present themselves to the world.

These young girls are often very attractive, prime of youthful life, but somehow succeed in making thenselves look unattractive by this ridiculous habit

My DD wears shorts under her skirt, so no butt on display. Nothing will change unless the school enforces it.

Going to school with a thong and your arse cheeks on full display, leaving sweaty arse prints and more on communal furniture is not on. Nothing to do with misogyny, everything to do with a minimum of manners.

What school regulation tights? They only wear tights in the winter, like most women and girls!

So what? It teaches girls to just sit there and look pretty. Because as soon as they move, their bums is on show. It forces girls (through peer pressure) into following damaging trends and standards of “beauty”. It looks fucking ridiculous when you can’t walk down the street without holding your skirt with your hand. There’s a mind fuck with that too. They obviously know it’s inappropriate and not fine, otherwise they’d own it and walk normally, not a care in the world. It diminishes moments like getting an award or something, when they’re tethering up the stairs , again hand on their bum to keep their skirt in place. It’s not a necessity. Often it’s not even a real choice.They, don’t run , jump , muck about. They sit, stand or slowly walk. Sit there and look pretty love. Careful. Awkward. Uncomfortable. Fuck. That. Shit.

'Young boys will obviously look, and I don't blame them. It's in their DNA'

'It's in their dna' . Enabling and excusing is the problem.

Short skirts should not cause such an attack of the vapours.

How do college boys and male college staff cope?! College kids don't bother with school regulation 2000 denier tights to hide those offensive gussets.

I think this is called dress code? And dressing appropriately? It's a school setting, etc etc etc. If boys were exposing their bodies at school we'd be calling them pervs, wouldn't we?

I genuinely despair of some parents.

This is ridiculous. Girls need to be aware that whilst they aren't responsible for the actions of men, they can influence the likelihood of being the subject of a man's attention. Also, that nobody wants to see their buttocks except men who have an unhealthy interest in young girls.

You might as well tell the sun not to rise! Other people feel uncomfortable at girls dressing ( or undressing) like this , can’t walk about diverting their gaze all the time! “unwanted mysogynistic opinions”? I would take it as wanting girls to be aware of how they dress, to be protected, to have decency!

They're not wrong tbh.

At least the school is tackling it. Don't complain about wording which does not affect you, or your sons. What would you gain?

Well I agree.

however, girls are wearing skirts rolled up to the point I can see their arse cheeks. And outside of beach/night club I honestly don’t think rolling a skirt to that length is a good idea, not because it will lead to them being assaulted, but mainly because it looks ridiculous

and I extend this to boys belting their trousers up below their arse cheeks so I see their pants.

just put your arses away kids 😂
