Notes

Reasons Against school dress codes- Reason 3- Sexism
1. “dress codes make particularly young girls self-conscious of their bodies in a way that really puts a burden on them from a very young age." -WUSA9
2. "Dress code enforces gender stereotypes that women "distract boys" with their clothing. This can lead to underperforming educationally since girls don't want to "stand out" in classrooms when they are feeling self-conscious." -WUSA9
3. "It’s been shown that girls are disproportionately targeted for dress code violations. It’s not because they wear more “code breaking” clothes either, because boys frequently get away with the same things girls get in trouble for." -Asheville Academy
4. "For some girls, they feel singled out and objectified because they’re told their clothing is too provocative (Suggestive) and distracting to the boys–instead of teaching the boys to be focused, respectful, and have enough self-control that they can take a test without being distracted by bare shoulders." - Asheville Academy
5. "Having dress codes that teach teens how to properly dress and still express themselves is important for the future–but shaming girls who are in violation of ridiculous rules targeting their gender will only lead to low self esteem in girls." -Asheville academy
6.“Office dress codes can and often do discriminate against women, men, disabled people and gender nonconforming people,” Cooper explained. “They cause anxiety, discomfort..." - real business co
7. "Telling a young girl that she cannot show her chest tells her that if her body distracts men it is her fault, not theirs. Telling any woman anything about their bodies fosters body shaming." -N.E.D.A (National Eating disorder Association.)
8. "a mother of two (Pearlman) who penned a tongue-in-cheek letter to her daughter’s middle school principal in a blog post for Today.com that was viewed more than 2 million times. Pearlman said her daughter, now 13, had been told in the fall by a teacher that she couldn’t wear yoga pants because the boys would get turned on and then be embarrassed." -CNN
