From a very young age, women are sexualised: ‘You shouldn’t dress so grown up’ or ‘Cover those shoulders’ are phrases I think every girl hears. Especially in school. We get confined to our body, that’s all that matters. As long as it doesn’t influence the education of boys. Because guys need education, women just need to be sexy.
This was particularly weird when it came from a female teacher, I was always thinking she shouldn’t be fine with this. It’s just my shoulders, it’s hot so why should I put on a jacket?
There are a million stories of girls being send home from school because they’re clothes were apparently too revealing. This is not helping the issue, the women and girls are (in this case) not the problem. The people reducing them to objects are.
