Stop oversexualizing young women's bodies

Created by E.N. on January 20, 2015

Young women's bodies are being oversexualized by extreme school dress code.
If a girl is in a tank top and shorts on a hot day and you send her home because she is being a "distraction to the boys", you are teaching the girl that a man's education is more important than her being comfortable in her own body.
If a girl is a distraction to a boy because her shoulders or thighs are showing, you are teaching the boy that everything about a girl is a sexual object.
So why don't we stop teaching girls not to be a "distraction" and start teaching men that women are not sexual objects.
