Okay people I need to rant so I’m ranting:
Why are we sexualising completely non-sexual parts of our bodies? I got dress coded today because I was showing this much of my midriff, which personally doesn’t make sense to me. When we think of guys getting dress coded, we think of offensive shirts, wallet chains, fucking gang signs, but when we think of girls getting dress coded, it’s our skin. If I were to go up to a guy and say “I can see the bulge in your pants, and honestly, it’s distracting” he would be horrified, I would be embarrassed and we would both be extremely uncomfortable. Fucking MIDRIFFS and SHOULDERS are not distracting. Boys who can’t keep it in their pants are. We always here “Girls, you mature faster than boys, so cut them some slack” but we never hear, “Boys, it’s extremely inappropriate to be catcalling girls in the hallways, shoulders aren’t sexual, be respectful”. Plus, I’m a fucking teenager? Why am I being sexualised???? Why is it not okay for me to show some skin but it is okay to sexualise girls of 14, 15, 16, because boys can’t keep it in their fucking pants.
There I ranted
