Why's Gen Z so caught up on dress code?

             

                             Many adults (especially teachers, and parents) don’t understand why teens have such an aversion to dress code. Well let me break it down for you; in a society where women are highly sexualized, it’s disappointing to go to school and have to deal with these same issues. We are sexualized to the point where showing our shoulders or wearing jeans with rips is unacceptable. In this social media era in which what you wear has become increasingly important. This drives us to want to look cool, or cute, or kawaii to explore our own personalities, but we are barely able to because half of our closets consist of ripped jeans and spaghetti straps. We dress in what we like and what we feel comfortable in but dress code teaches us to dress for rapists and sodomizers. It teaches us that showing the most innocent piece of skin such as a shoulder is putting ourselves in danger. Seeing as this is a school what do you think this teaches us about the world. But that’s enough about me let’s see what others think.

  Junior Kylisa Wurthman says this about dress code "I think it's redundant, because the clothes I have are mine and I am going to wear them and dress code is ridiculous. It makes me feel objectified repressed and angry." She then went on to say "-It's in place- to oppress females and make them feel ashamed." And Kylisa isn't the only one who feels this way. Senior Tyla Reed had this to say about dress code "-I don't really follow it- It's unreasonable and hinders personality, It's discriminatory." Kaleab Jarett another student says "I think it's there to protect females it's just not done right, some rules are dumb but it's a rule so we should follow it." And in the end he is absolutely right so join me in protesting dress code so that it becomes fair for everyone. So how do you feel about dress code?
