How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

Same. As much as I hate those kinds of borderline puritan dresscodes (At least in my case, i'm in a catholic high school sadly ), they're unfortunately the rules and trying to talk to the school higher-ups about it is like talking to a brick wall :/

Thats why I am in favor of School Uniforms. That fixes the dresscodes problem and also reduces pressure for kids to get the lastest cool clothes and such nonsense.

The closest we ever got was the name tags in light of increasing amount of school shootings across the USA. If you forgot it, you go to the library and spend $5 for a new one. I was a senior by that point though and made a exception for me since it was my last year.Nakena wrote:

I understand the purpose of school uniforms, but I don't think it was ever much of a problem. If some kid ever went outside the dress code, all they ever really did for us was send us home. Which wasn't that big of a deal. There was hardly any repercussions.

However, I think the best case for the idea that it's a problem is the irrationality of those who say otherwise. They conflate all criticism of it with "rape culture," despite dress codes at public services like schools being done on behalf of the same voters who made sentencing for it generally second only to that for murder. They assume those who enforce what they signed up to enforce are only "projecting" their own supposed nature onto others, and not, you know, acknowledging that people who made it that far in university are not necessarily reflective of everybody else. They complain about assuming "without evidence" that males are horndogs who'll be distracted easily, (proven by the irrationality of those who say otherwise) but their response being to assume things about others without evidence proves beyond a reasonable doubt that they never really objected to assumptions not based on evidence.
If you're an opponent of school dress codes, how do you justify smearing every male who ever bothered to teach as a pedophile? How do you justify claiming to value evidence and then going along with such smears anyway?
Me, I think the case for dress codes to limit distraction has been vindicated.
Now, that leaves behind one question; for what purposes is provocative attire even worn? Is the whole point to attract male attention? If not, what is it?

...It is very sexist to assume men are unable to control themselves around women who "dress provocatively." I mean sure you can have a baseline dress code for the safety and health of students (you know, no walking around in your underwear type thing, no pants hanging around the knees for schools less then college level(that seems like a liability the school should not have to deal with), etc, but anything beyond that?

I don't want to look "cool". I just want to not look like a fucking puritan, not to mention I could go to a thrift store and buy a better set for the grand price of $10 that doesnt feel like shit when wearing instead of buying the $80+ set schools make mandatory but feels like you're getting a thorn stuck up everywhere in your chest or neck

Maybe the sets are trash then. Not as nice as the uniforms I linked above in my first post.

"Telling boys who look at women provocatively to not be creeps and to have a competent system that punishes creeps harshly? Pfft, no! I'll just tell women how to live their lives and call it a day!"

Completely the wrong interpretation of my statement. People have the right to dress however they want. People also have the right to look at whatever they want. Neither you nor I have the right to tell either group otherwise.
