To be sick of adults judging girls for their clothing?

[DemocracyDiesInDarkness]

DD is 8, and this year for school uniform she wanted a couple of pleated skirts, and a couple of lycra pencil skirts, which she wears over leggings or tights.

I'm getting so tired of hearing what people think about the bloody pencil skirts! Eyebrows raised all over the place, and more than one person has commented along the lines of 'I'm surprised you let her wear that, my daughter wasn't allowed one until she was 14'.

What exactly changed at 14 is beyond me.

She's comfortable in it. It doesn't show a single centimetre of flesh. So why do people still judge just because (I'm guessing) that you can see the outline of her arse? I mean, the outlines of my son's arse is visible through his trousers, but I've never had any comments about that.

Will judging girls for wearing clothes ever fucking end?

I'm with you. Nothing changes at 14 they are still kids.

It's a skirt. How on earth do they react to the likes of cycling shorts in pe...

God only knows Giles! It's the sense that they being judged as trying to be somehow older than their years, or trying to be sexy or something, that is really gross.

Basically, she lives in leggings, and finds lycra skirts as comfy and stretchy as leggings are. That's really it.

Sounds fine to me. People need to stop putting adult connotations onto everything.
