Yeah, not like we had lots and lots of easily avoidable deaths over this not even a 100 years ago.

So apparently all I have to do to get a girlfriend is beat up someone? Finally, motivation to go to the gym!
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes
No longer a forum herald
I'd like to see a dress code that isn't sexist (either in wording or implementation), but I get the feeling I might be asking for the impossible.

Might be possible if everyone gets identical uniforms or something.
Oh really when?

That's what they do where I'm from. Then the only thing girls can get in trouble for with their uniform is rolling the (almost always optional anyway) skirt up.

School Uniforms
are pretty common.
A procrastination in of itself
Yeah school uniforms are a thing often for a reason. The only sexism incident we tend to get over here with uniforms is when every so often in the summer a school doesn't allow shorts, girls where skirts and are fine but the guys are stuck in trousers. This pretty much always make the news when one guy concludes that there's actually nothing saying he can't were a skirt, wears ones and makes the school look like idiots.

...can still bite
I understand the concept of a dress code, but no collarbones is just way too much. If they really want a dress code that strict they might as well use uniforms.
Oh, the idiocy.

Seems like they were trying to establish a consistent, objective standard for "no tops with low neckline", which isn't a bad thing in and of itself. Selective enforcement is definitely an issue, though.
Really from Jupiter, but not an alien.

If that's what they are aiming for, they should actually say that.
United Earth
So it's like a reverse Utena...
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good.
I have never seen a school uniform. They all make a disticntion between female and male clothing. Making everyone the same except for girls and boys. Great message.
The Mistress
In my school the main difference between male and female uniforms was that pants of the latter were skintight.
I don't think there was any punishment for using the male uniform pants though.
"Please crush me with your heels Esdeath-sama!
United Earth
Just use robes like Hogwarts.
Or impose kilts.
Or go full tilt like Mustang and have the girls wear TINY MINISKIRTS.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
No, the other one.
Why stop at the girls?

United Earth
Indeed! Give them that!
No, wait, guys' knees are hairy and knobby. Give them skin-tight leather pants! Yes!
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
A procrastination in of itself
Most British school uniforms are uni, as is proven by the fact that every few years a boy wears a skirt and nobody can stop him because it's part of the uniform.
Not even hair restrictions can be imposed only on a particular gender these days, it's nice.

Revolutionary Boy Chalice, who was so impressed with a princess that saved him as a child that he decided to become a princess himself, and wears an opposite gender uniform while conforming to the letter of the school dress code?
He goes on to suffer great disillusionment concerning princesses and princessness on his path to adulthood, but though he loses his innocence, he never loses the strength and nobility that make him a Princess Classic more worthy of the title than none that ever lived before or since.
Also, he takes an opposite gender role and pronouns, but still identifies as male, so... Gender-fluid? Bigender?

Yeah, my school, basically the only difference was that the girls could choose between a skirt or long pants while the guys couldn't. The shirt was basically the same. And even when it got changed and they did look different, the girls actually had it better. Our shirt had little tabs on the front, so we didn't need to wear a tie anymore. Ha!

No one got a choice at mine, guys wore pants, girls skirts, no exceptions.

Yeesh. Now, those kinds of schools I do dislike quite a bit.

All this talk is really making me glad my school didn't have uniforms.
Still was almost exclusively women who got hit with dress code violations though.
Oh really when?

@ Imca: All from the same supplier, as well? A perennial issue here is to do with the cost of the Uniforms.
