Attire Affects
Boys are not like us girls
Yet they should still see
The discrimination that occurs
If there is a hole in her jeans.
Most boys do not sexualize the girls
As administration suggests.
We care more about our education
Than the visible amount of breasts.
Short shorts, tank top,
All normal things we see,
But when you send a girl home
If her shorts show her knees.
Girls are called terrible names
For how they choose to dress,
But no one corrects a boy
For showing his bare chest.
Girls are sexualized,
Girls are slandered,
Girls are held
To an unreasonable standard.
There are two questions left to ask:
Is dress code an issue
to those of the opposite sex?
Or is it the grown adults
That her attire affects?
