I was talking to a friend at school about how we find it annoying that we’re expected to wear a skort for PE and Games even though we both prefer to wear leggings as we find that skorts restrict our movement (e.g. whilst stretching and doing lunges). My friend mentioned that she hates having to bend down in a skort when she’s trying to pick tennis balls up off the floor. At that point a guy then said that he wouldn’t mind seeing a girl bend over and pick something up off the floor whilst wearing a skort. Other guys in the room started laughing as well whilst my friend and I became frustrated. Honestly you’d expect better from a bunch of sixth formers seeing as some of them are now adults. When will there be lessons about sexism on the national PSHE curriculum?
