Dress code

"The problem is not with the girls and the length of their skirts nor whether or not they choose to share photos with their boyfriends or anyone else," Manning wrote on Facebook. "It's with the boys themselves; their sense of entitlement and sexist attitudes towards women and girls, their lack of respect, and the trust they CHOOSE to break."

"Female students are more likely to be impacted by strict dress codes than their male counterparts, as evidenced by a Staten Island school where 90 percent of dress code violations were tallied against female students"

Maybe should send that to my mom...vaguely remember her talking about how in the '60s she got reprimanded for wearing a skirt that was too short at school...when they went to some kind of meeting, her mother told her, "You wear your shortest skirt and I'll wear mine!"
