Let me tell you something about today. Today was the hottest day of the year in New Jersey, I woke up sweating despite air conditioning because it was 95 degrees. Now, i did what any logical person would do and I put on my favorite pair of shorts so i wouldn’t be sweating throughout the day.

        Even in my shorts i was sweating my balls off but I went through half of my day as normal, no boys stared at my ass or tried to grope me in public yet when i went to the the cafeteria a teacher told me to go to the office because he finds my shorts inappropriate. I head down to the office to find a group of girls wearing shorts and skirts sitting in a small room in the office, we where all ordered to call our parents or to change into the clothes they had offered us from the school store. These items of clothing included sweatpants and a large heavy sweatshirt. I obviously refused to where those because it was 95 degrees and when you are sweating the key to cool down is NOT to put on more clothes. They told me I would have to stay in that room the whole day if it came down to it.

      I was able to leave the office when my friend gave me a pair of yoga pants. The man who made me go down to the office brought down several other girls as I was leaving, at this point they didn’t care how long the shorts where they just sent everyone who was wearing a pair down. They warned me that if I put my shorts back on they would right me up. 

     I put them back on anyway because just walking down the hallway in those yoga pants made me faint, dizzy,and extremely hot. Thats the main issue, it is hot enough for people to pass out in school but to the school system they would rather a girl suffer from a heat stroke then to have a boy become  turned on. My shorts don’t say “COme fuck me in the middle of class” they say,”Its warm out”

The sexualizing of innocent students is not okay

Risking students health is not okay

and tHE LACK OF FEMINISM IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM WILL NEVER BE OKAY

Today was literally horrible

I hate our school so much

It’s called LONGER SHORTS. Please. I live in Florida and had to abide by my PUBLIC school’s dress code of 3-5” above the knee. Yeah, it’s hot but shorts are getting more up girl’s asses every year. These shorts aren’t SO bad but…kids just don’t understand. It’s not a lack of feminism…it’s called self respect and following the rules. If anything YOGA pants are feminine. Skin tight clothing that hugs your rear end and under regions? I’d say that would be more cause for concern. 

These rules are put i place for a reason. Girls want to complain about a guy calling her a slut? Well, here you go. Complaining about your shorts is one quick way to achieve such. Trust me, I understand how hot it could be…but while it may not look such a way to you when you wear these shorts - it says it to the boys around you. 

I HIGHLY doubt every girl wearing shorts that are close to their knees was asked to change. Half of these girls more than likely had their rear ends hanging out of their shorts. This is the teenage mindset of “OMGaaaaaa, make things worse than what they are! BOOBOO!”

Jersey kids complaining about the heat makes us South Floridians laugh. RISKING STUDENTS HEALTH, OMGAAAH! Go home if it’s that hot. I’m sure there was A/C in your school.

I am sorry if I sound crude but kids these days complaining about the above and having complete disregard for the rules bothers me. Go home if it’s that hot. Your shorts end at your ass and if you bent over, you can prob see it. That’s the problem.

and that is my yearly rant because I do not know why this shit was in my feed to begin with. 

Uhm, Pardon me for just a second.

As much as I hate getting involved in crazy internet arguments, this is one that I need to throw my two cents in on, because it makes me quite cross.

As an Australian, living in Australian heat, shorts like that are very common here. Knee length just doesn’t cut it when your shoes are melting into the footpath. A dress code is fine and dandy, but it needs to take into consideration the comfort of its students during hotter months. Learning is tough enough after all. 

I understand how you feel, but your argument is a tad wonky.

“Self respect” doesn’t necessarily mean more modest clothes. For some people it is, and that’s ok! But sometimes people need to wear things that A-give them confidence and B-Are comfy for them.

And another thing, nobody deserves to get called a slut, and perhaps we shouldn’t be shaming the girls in shorts but rather the guys who think it’s ok to go around saying derogatory stuff like that. 

I could go on for days about this, but I feel a little silly for getting into an internet fight as it is.

Have a nice day, and please think about this issue a little more. 

Here comes the reclusive Aussie guy.

I’ll be honest, I don’t often have much to say on this subject. Clothing isn’t an issue to me. You could walk around in your underwear and frankly I wouldn’t give a shit. But heat does factor in, so I’mma add my thoughts.

I’m no expert, but I’m going to think that you’re either in college or American schools don’t have dress codes, forgive me if I’m wrong.

Shorts like the pair she’s wearing? So what, get over it. They’re not overly showy, her ass isn’t ‘hanging out’ as that guy so crudely put it. If it’s hot, damn fucking straight you don’t want to wear cargo pants or sweatpants or whatever. You’d drown in your own sweat! Short shorts are fine. What the dickhead above Sparky is talking about are those absurdly short ‘shorts’ that are best described as undergarments. Those are also fine, if you’re comfortable in them. I can understand a school being irritable about those.

As Sparky said however, if the soles of your shoes are literally melting on the pavement (happens here, I’m sure it happens elsewhere) you’re not going to be wearing long pants or long sleeve shirts. You’ll be wearing something cool that your comfortable in, or you’ll be in the local supermarket all day because hey, free air con and obvious availability to cold bottles of coke.

Or sprite or whatever.

In any case, ‘slut shaming’ (That’s the term Sparky) isn’t okay. If the guys at the school are so fragile they can’t take a bit of leg, they aren’t prepared for real life. And if the teachers are so insecure they’re worried about it, maybe they shouldn’t be teaching.

Now, I probably shouldn’t say shit like that. I wore jackets and long pants to school in mid summer. But I at least knew I was comfortable in wearing it. Hell, I still adore my long cargo pants. I’ll wear them regardless of weather.

So fuck you asshats who think otherwise. Dress for the occasion. If it’s stinking hot, get over it, there will be people wearing short shorts and singlets. And for fucks sake, shouldn’t you get up guys wearing wife beaters that are like, a size or six too small then? Or sideways hats or some shit?

I mean, fuck.

Double standards.
