It is true that he said that before the internet and the golden age of pornography that we live in.

I'm sure he'd be shocked to learn how times have changed on that score.

And are boys free to wear leggings, tights, shorts, and jeans with cuts in them?

It might help it girls were free to wear them first.

Why? What might it help? And why is it a crime against girls that they're not allowed to wear things that boys can't wear either?

They should both be allowed to wear them obviously but I was willing to entertain slow reform.

And because it is oppression if you do not allow girls to be girly. And I will not stand for it even if you men appear to be oblivious. You should all repent this oversight.

So would you be fine with a dress code that mandates skirts then? That seems like it would allow girls to be girly, would it not?

Because skirts are girly and it's oppression to not let girls be girly, apparently?

As Saint George Carlin observed, "Don't these schools do enough damage making all these kids think alike, now they have to make them look alike too? It's not a new idea, either. I first saw it in old newsreels from the 1930s, but it was hard to understand because the narration was in German."

In which case, what's so terrible about the vast majority of modern dress codes that give girls the choice to wear either skirts or trousers?

Why? They're allowed trousers. In most cases, excluding uniforms, they're allowed jeans too, and can wear tights under a skirt.

What's so special about leggings that it's inherently oppressive to not allow them?

No, dress codes are necessary for preventing children from wearing clothing which is inappropriate for the learning environment that is a schooling institution.

Are leggings girlier than skirts?

This is simply an excuse to oppress females, they make the same argument in the Middle East as to why they must wear hijabs.
