i didn't at any time say that girls provoke sexual bullying by the way they dress. its far more likely to be more modest girls who receive such bullying as they are less likely to answer back.
i said that an equivalent problem, which also needs to be addressed, is the way some female pupils dress, which is inappropriate in normal life and even less appropriate in school. it puts them at risk, in school and on the way to and from school because it begs for sexual attention. hopefully when they're at home, they wear something different.
i know them, i'm one of the people who has to talk to them about how they dress,
they are not the same girls who are victims of sexual bullying - or not now, anyway. sometimes they have had such attention in the past and taken it to be a sign of how desirable they are. no matter what their intentions in dressing like poor quality porn stars, they send out a message that they (and by implication, other girls) are available. and don't tell me that people shouldn't read it that way - if you'd seen them you'd understand that there is no way to avoid it.
if you want a climate where sexual bullying by the name-calling and groping you mentioned, is unacceptable, you have to balance that by promoting a culture where neither girls nor boys make an obvious display of their sexuality. keeping school uniform rules would cover that. (so mums, when it says 'plain black skirt, knee length' don't think you're being clever and getting one over on the school by buying her a black lycra mini skirt. and a white school shirt is not the same as a fitted shirt that she can barely cram her bust into. she's entitled to look nice? no, she isn't. its school. she should be in correct uniform.)
you read into what i write exactly what you want to see. you are actually quite happy with bullyng - you never hesitate to bully me on mumsnet!
so have a biscuit, get a hat, and leave the bastard. think what you like.
