“In fact, it seems that most of the Bible's instructions regarding modesty find their context in warnings about materialism, not sexuality . . .” (Evans 128)

The Ideas of Modesty & Punishment Have Been Tied Together in the Minds of Women

"Drop the m-word around the wrong girl and she'll be environed by ugly flashbacks--rulers against bare legs, turtlenecks under homemade jumpers, swimsuits hidden beneath T-shirts and shorts, and red-faced pastors blaming the fall of Western civilization on the exposure of cleavage." (Evans 122)

“And so, at least symbolically, the blood of Eve courses through each one of her daughters' veins. We are each associated with life; each subject to the impossible expectations and cruel projections of men; each fallen, blamed, and misunderstood; and each stubbornly vital to the process of bringing something new--perhaps something better--into this world...

We are each an Eve.” (Evans xxvi)

“Instead of punishing girls for exposing our shoulders and legs, teach boys to have respect for women.”

so fucking pissed at the American school system. I was dress-coded for the second time this week and both for ridiculous reasons. The first time i got dress coded was for wearing a sleeveless shirt that covered my ENTIRE FUCKING SHOULDER but just because it didn't have any extra sleeving to cover the arm i was dress coded. The second time was today, because i was wearing shorts, and even though they reached my fingertips and were almost at my knee, i was still fucking dress coded. Both of these times i was FORCED to MISS CLASS because my arm/ shoulder area is considered "a distraction" and the area spanning 2-3 inches above my knee is also "distracting". Instead of telling girls that they should be ashamed of exposing simple parts of their bodies such as their shoulders or their legs, and that they are a distraction to men, we should be teaching men to respect women more.

Is it possible to dress in such a manner where you show skin, and yet still be a modest person? If yes, what defines modesty if it is not the clothing a person wears?

What is your view on modesty? Do you think that it is a girl's responsibility to dress with humility, or society's responsibility to make sure the same girl is not sexualized?

"James, then 16, says she was kept out of class for most of a day in October because she wore a red spaghetti-strap dress, during a Los Angeles heat wave. A counselor told her she wouldn’t be able to go back to class unless she put on a sweater. James said staff pointed out that her bra was showing, and told her that her clothes were too revealing and distracting."

"Of course, the school claims that the rules are unisex, because, you know, boys are stopped so often for too short shorts (they aren’t). The justification for all of that is so it doesn’t distract people from learning. Obviously, they mean boys. So, according to school systems nationwide, girls should be taken out of class, or sent home, and miss learning, so that boys can focus.

My daughter is getting the message loud and clear that her education is secondary to that of boys, and that her body exists solely as a sexual object."

Athletic shorts break school dress code

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. -- A student at James River High School said she felt like her school's dress code was not fair to female students, so she wrote a letter to school leaders to express her displeasure.

"This is telling our bright young women that it is their fault when they are sexualized in the eyes of other people," Lydia Cleveland said.

The high school senior said an incident last week inspired the letter.

She said school leaders told members of the school's field hockey team they violated dress code when they wore the athletic shorts part of their uniform to school for Spirit Day.

"The fact that our school would have uniforms for a school sport that were then not acceptable for the dress code during the school day, that`s ridiculous," Cleveland said.

Chesterfield Schools spokesperson Shawn Smith said the girls wore the uniforms without the knowledge of the school and coach, and those uniforms, as well as the cheerleaders uniforms, are not allowed at school during instruction because they do not meet dress expectations.

Cleveland called the incident one of many involving girls and the dress code that she deemed unfair.

"Absolutely the young ladies are being targeted...I've seen boys in athletic shorts and girls aren't allowed to wear them," Cleveland said.

Smith provided a copy of a presentation given to James River students about the dress code.

It said students could not wear a variety of tops and tight or saggy pants, as well as clothes that showed midriff, undergarments, private parts, or cleavage.

But, what about athletic shorts?

"They`re not provocative by any means I would say," Cleveland said.

The dress code did not explicitly say the shorts were prohibited, but the presentation showed a picture of a girl wearing athletic shorts with the words "unacceptable" by it.

The policy also said school leaders could prohibit anything they deemed inappropriate, disruptive, or unsafe.

Smith said the policy had not changed from previous years, and sent CBS 6 a copy of the school board's policy that laid out the dress code. It highlighted that individual schools may develop more restrictive expectations.
