Young girls today fight against their schools dress-code stating it is perceived to be “sexist”. Unfortunately young girls don't realize the benefits and equality the dress-code provides for them.With the dress-code women and young girls have no fear of being criticized allowing more confidence. Yes, there is the basic procedures for girls dressing decent, but the dress codes exceeds those basic procedure to have girls dress more appropriately and modest for a school atmosphere and later on in the real world ,as I guess one will say.
      

Girls should not complain about the restrictions of clothing in schools. These restriction help for the better good. Girls, dress codes are here to help you not hurt you. Dress codes benefits young girls from becoming a target of sexual harassment and rape. Unfortunately young girls today disregard these benefits. For instance, a group of 8th grade girls spoke out against their school, South Oregon Middle School in New Jersey sexist dress code. Enforcing the 8th girls to speak out against their schools dress code was their principal, Joseph Uglialoro. Principal Uglialoro decided to state his opinion on one of the 8th grade girls, Frankie Lindsey notecard for the upcoming meeting with him saying “This school’s policy is one of the reasons why the US has the 6th highest rate of rape in the world”(D’Anastasio). Frankie Lindsey, 3 of her friends and parents came to confronting principal Uglialoro for defending the supposedly sexist dress code leading principal Uglialoro defending the mandatory dress code yet again. Mr.Uglialoro simply replied to this confrontation stating the dress-codes implies a better ‘learning environment'. And by a better 'learning environment', which you would imply is for boys. After all its a mans world, but does not mean the dress codes does not affect boys.

Young girls may argue the dress code is bias between men and women, but I will tell right now there is no possible way. Just as women or young girls dress code attends to all gentlemen. Gentlemen just as women are shamed, criticized and targeted for certain attire wear. Take for instance my fellow feminist and satirist writer Soraya Chemaly wrote “Take, for example, the fact that 28% of girls in college are sexuallly assaulated (and 3% of boys)” describing gentlemen and women are equally target for sexual harassment and rape (Chemaly). Young girls and women cannot also say they are publicly shamed for attire, whereas men or not “But, nonetheless, this is happens every day, year after years in some places, and it is a terrible precedent to set for boys and girls” (Chemaly). I have personally viewed young girls fighting against the shaming of a girls attire at schools, but girls please do not fight, but instead encourage this deed of shaming. With younger women being shamed publicly for their attire they grow to become more of an open minded to the dress code. An open minded women or young girl about dress codes would benefit by being viewed as adult, not judged, respected, etc. Without the dress code I guess women would not have any rights at all. After all a schools dress-code is preparation for young girls and gentlemen for the real worlds dress-code.

     The dress code will follow women and men throughout their lives. As young girls and boys start to become young adults they lean towards fashion magazines, blogs or vlogs to seek information for the proper attire or what to wear for certain occasion, place, people, etc., which could be seen as a dress code. For instance I discovered a website called StyleCaster, which has an article titled “Dress Code Guide: What Every Type of Attire Really Means”. Just look at title it begins with the two words dress and code. In the article there a section stating the dress-code for a c***tail party “For guys this dress code calls for dark suits with a tie. For women, short dresses that are party ready.” though this dress-code may not seem as restricted compared to a schools dress-codes due to the wording the effect of this article is seen in mens and womens attire. Preferably, women seek this today as entertainment and useful information for ways to style their attire but disagree with the dress code of schools. As they will later look back thinking they were fools and hypocrites and the dress-code come  to benefit them.

Young girls please do not feel restricted, criticized, shamed, etc. for having to obey a dress-code but appreciate and encourage the meaning behind the dress-code. Girls are wasting their time complain of the “sexist dress-code”. The dress-code will come to benefit you throughout your life and be looked to upon as a credible source of proper attire.
