Please make sure children are wearing appropriate clothing

[Damnthatdog]

No mini skirts or crop tops, yr 6 leavers party.

So not children, but girls. Please make sure girls aren’t wearing anything which could be deemed provocative. Which is how it reads to me.

AIBU or not?

I truly hate seeing young girls dressed up like teenagers. Hate it.

That's not true about bowling btw.

What if there was a lane in which there were women in bikinis doing a bowling line for charity? Would that be okay?

Flaming but the bowling shoes are rented out at the bowling alley :/ no one turns up wearing them

@argumentativefeminist
Exposure to adult culture, sexuality and culture harms children.

It’s why we don’t let them watch 15 or 18 rated films, play violent video games or watch porn.

Adult women can wear whatever Thor fuck they like, who cares?

15 and 16 year olds are in the funny borderland between childhood and adulthood, so should have more freedom to choose.
Children are children. Let them be

The suggestion is not that a ten year old girl is provoking anything, it is a polite reminder that it is bowling, so short skirt means everyone will see a ten year old girl's knickers.

Does any parent want that?

They are not telling a girl how to dress for heaven's sake, it's a reminder about the nature of the activity. It's not oppression.

How about just raising girls not to feel they have to wear mini skirts and crop tops just to do something fun like go bowling

Yes! Thank you. This exactly.

What is appropriate though SnapCards ?

But what isn't appropriate is my point, is there nothing that's not ok for a child to wear on a school function?

And just to put it out there some of the yr5/6 girls are more developed than I am. I wouldn't be wearing a mini skirt and crop top for bowling either.

Is it appropriate to allow your young pre school daughter to swim in the sea wearing nothing but a swimsuit? After all she is going to be surrounded by adults. And some of them will be MEN.

What would be appropriate wear is my question.

You choose not to answer it. Or rather gave a catholic priest's answer.

SnapCards .

@Chewedupcucumber There's nothing sexual or adult about a skirt or a top. It's absolutely not the same as porn.

@mplINsTA

You'd get an email from me saying "huge embarrassment, discomfort and distress to herself, particularly if she has started her periods and is menstruating, as well as embarrassment and discomfort for other children as she flashes her knickers every time she attempts to participate. Knickers are not appropriate public attire for adults or children and parents trying to force their feminist agenda on children by insisting they are allowing them to be over exposed in public are concerning and therefore this polite notice innocently reminding of the nature of the activity also deals with such parents"

But then, I am That Adult

If they are on a school trip, it’s reasonable for the school to ban mini skirts and crop tops.

OP if you want your dd to go bowling in a mini skirt and crop top, then buy her these items and take her bowling in them at the weekend yourself.

But I guess that’s not your objective. Your objective is to have an argument.

Is this a letter from the school?

I have a yr6 dd, I would be hugely relieved to receive an email like this. I spend an awful lot of time negotiating what is/ is not appropriate clothing for a huge variety of activities. I would love an outside agency to take responsibility for this.

Would it be okay for a sixty year old woman to go to a bowling party dressed in a mini skirt and a crop top?

What is the appropriate clothing to wear in this situation, a bowling alley, for all menstruating women?

Or do you think that women shouldn't go?

For the love of all that is sane

Can someone please tell me what is the appropriate wear for a female child, adolescent, woman in a bowling alley?

If no one can reply honestly to this I am going to report this thread.

Well yes it is going to be girls rather than boys who turn up in crop tops and mini skirts. I see your point but this is common sense.

Maybe it should have been worded that all children should wear a tshirt or jumper and full length trousers.

Would it be ok if one of the children decided they fancied wearing just theor bra and hotpants to go bowling with her classmates and teachers? Xx

This X several million

Ive seen y5/ y6 girls turn up on non uniform days with skirts so short you could see their bums. We've had to ask them to change- no child should be sexualised in that way and parents have a responsibility to ensure they are not.

But what is wrong with a ten year old girl accidentally flashing her knickers?

Are all the boys in the room going to spontaneously combust at the sight of pink cotton?

And I'm still not seeing the issue with cropped t-shirts and bowling. My youngest is wearing a cropped t-shirt and leggings to bowling for her leavers do. Fortunately, ours was arranged by parents so there aren't any stupid dress codes.

What is appropriate attire for bowling ? Clothes you can crouch down in, bend from the waist, socks. Bowling alleys are often air conditioned so acres of flesh is probrably not a great plan. I'd try to get her into leggings or jeans with a bit of give and a sparkly t-shirt. A flash of flesh between the top of the bottoms and the bottom of the top would probrably be ok, anything strappy and bra like I would discouraged.

placemats why do you think they’ll be wearing tights under the skirts?
Appropriate attire for people bowling (don’t give a shit what Essex or age) something loose in which they can move easily, something sufficiently large that it covers their underwear and does not need constant adjustment for comfort. I’d suggest jeans, shorts, jogging bottoms and a looepse top of some sort which was long enough to cover the criteria above.
Ok with you?

Erm, for what exactly? Which guidelines is it breaking?

Why are ypu threatening to report the thread placemats. Who is going to sit and list every item of clothing that is appropriate to go bowling in. It doesn't really matter what the activity is, this sort of clothing would be inappropriate for most school activities.

Sex not Essex. Stupid iPad.
