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

I think it's been cleared up, but if it makes you better to keep repeating yourself, who am I to spoil your fun?😆

If the skirts are so short that members of the public are commenting on it then it sounds like they are a length that’s unprofessional or inappropriate for school. I believe there is a time and place for different types of clothes. Plus, it is not pervy or weird to not want to see the bums/underwear of school-age girls. I think the school’s wording was very measured and other schools could take a leaf out of their book

Girls have always done the rolling the waistband over, but now they have taken it beyond the realm of decency.
They really should be taught about self worth and valuing themselves and their bodies more.

I used to be a bit ‘meh’ let them get on with it however, I have a teen boy who worries he will be accused of ‘looking up skirts’ when girls are going upstairs. It’s not just a quick flash of knickers, it’s bare butt cheeks in thongs, soiled sanitary wear, ill fitting gussets. Quite the anatomy lesson. I find it odd as aside from the Nike pro trend several years back, I don’t see girls dressing like this outside of school.

Well it's good to see girls are still following the old "legs or tits but never both" rule 😆

Think about this… is there any situation or outfit that your boys could wear that is not appropriate for the occasion, or not appropriate at all? If yes, it’s the same principle.

Thank you, it does help.

I was referring to the OP's posts.

2 different young women! One wore the bikini top with i think jeans, the other had sensible top, but micro mini and stilettos. The stilettos wouldn’t have been a reason to send ger home if she had been able to safely walk in them. The skirt was definitely a reason….

Why do girls want to dress like this though ? I just don't get it

I support girls autonomy and not being judged for their appearance. However, choice isn’t something that exists in a vacuum and schools can and should set reasonable uniform standards expectations that should be upheld.

I also question whether girls actually want to wear their skirts in this way and aren’t just falling foul on peer pressure.

uniform standards often aim to reduce peer pressure and move focus away from clothes and appearance and towards learning and education.

Yabu.

Much as I’m a feminist and agree with the sentiment that a woman is never “asking for it” due to the way she dresses, it’s still inappropriate to have your bum cheeks on display at school.

I have teenagers of both sexes and I’ve told my daughter (and my son) that men (wrongly) still see some ways of dressing as provocative so although she can wear what she wants and assault is never the fault of the victim, it’s something to be aware of, sadly.

The school objecting to skirts being rolled up, I agree with. As I don't want anyone spending half their day adjusting their clothing to preserve their modesty instead of concentrating on lessons. Also, there will be jobs where there is a uniform required (although getting fewer) and so this is a lesson for life.

Something like that, not because members of the public don't like it.

Weirdly enough I never had to talk to our male interns about suitable office wear (smart casual). I have to talk to most female inters at some point , and had to send two home (triangle bikini top, micro mini that showed everything, stiletto sandals she couldn’t safely walk in - we are an R&D environment)

There must be some doing it because schools are usually far too busy to be sending out messages like this for no reason.
I disagreed with you and I would definitely consider myself a staunch feminist. But this isn't a feminist issue. The school haven't singled out the girls. They specifically said "people who wear skirts". They have made efforts to make sure they are not singling out the girls.
The issue is with skirts. The fact that skirts are usually worn by girls is largely irrelevant. Noone wants to see teenage boy bums either, I assure you. I expect your school also doesn't allow "sagging" by the way.
