Dress Code | original slam poem

“They keep reading, even when the only word printed is NO” I just have to say that hit differently...

“If something happens You’d be asking for it” “I found out later; nobody told the boys to keep their hands to themself “

Girls: Have bodies School dress codes: We don't do that here.

My male teacher had me call home because the holes in my pants were too “high”. After our encounter he had a talk with the class. He said things like “Girls should NOT wear pants that have holes above the knees” “ it makes me and my male students uncomfortable” “No one wants to see your big thighs”. He began threatening suspension. He was to worried about our pants to focus on the fact that his punishments were taking time from our education.

Girl: has hair School Dreas code: excuse me ur distracting my life

"her ripped jeans are a distraction i can't handle seeing her knees"😭😭😭

Teacher: Put a jacket on! Your shoulder is showing! Me: Damn I guess people like my greasy and pimply shoulder

My entire life,I've always been told: "Here's the rules for school: •no fighting, even if they hit you first •never wear a shirt without tucking it into your jeans first •keep your head down, don't draw attention •dont put that rainbow pin on your backpack! It will ruin your reputation! •never interact with your gf in more than a platonic/best friends kind of way in public •cover up, boys don't know how to control themselves •dont shower at school, I don't care how much you stink, boys love sneaking into girls locker room But I have never,not once in my life, heard a boy being told this: •no means no People set expectations too high for girls, and then get angry when we fail to meet those impossible standards. For example: •we're always told makeup would make us look prettier, but when we wear it, we're "fake" and "trying to hard" •we get told how quiet we are,but when we start talking, we're apparently "talking too much" •we can't express ourselves through clothing, bc "looks are the reputation of the eyes" This is really not fair to us...

Teacher: “you can’t show your shoulders.” Me: “wow the kinks are getting weirder everyday”

Those dress codes are too extra, as a male i say idc if a girl has her shoulders or ankles out.

Me: shows shoulders Boys: don't care at all School: OH MY GOD THE BOYS ARE TOO DISTRACTED BY YOUR SHOULDERS.

We dont have a dress code, A girl walked with a laced bodysuit with short jeans shorts. nobody even noticed. i love that

boy has encountered a female kneecap kneecap used distraction

guys can sag their pants down to their knees but god forbid you see my ankle!!!

I have a story So this boy in my school asked the science teacher to send me to the office or dress code me or whatever because I wore a lot of things that broke the dress code. And then she told him to stop discriminating against women he looked horrified.

I remember in 5th grade a boy said "oh my god i can see your bra strap" I stood up and loudly and with alot of drama said "oh yes nobody can know that me a GIRL wears a bra, somebody call Victoria because her secrets out" his face turned red and everyone laughed.

"Remember students. The boys will open your bodies like books. We have given them permisson to read, even if the only word printed is 'no' " leaving with a bang

Girl: has pretty face School dress code: NOPE you gotta cover that up too sweetie

"We have given them permission to read. Even when the only word printed is NO" I honestly loved that line. It might just be me. Please like or comment if you agree

“Remember we have given boys permission to open are bodies like books even when the only word printed is no” QUEEN
