PREACH
Let’s be real. If little girls’ knees, shoulders, and clavicles are a problem for male teachers, you don’t have a dress code issue. You have a pedophile issue.

Without knowing anything about the actual post, here’s a thought: Maybe men don’t want to work in a place like that because their neighbours will judge them for choosing to work in an environment with girls in short skirts? Maybe the black hole of respectability slowly sucks in more and more bystanders?
Maybe the atmosphere in which that tweet goes viral is indicative of the problem? Maybe the ease with which she insinuated that these men she didn’t know were paedophiles is exactly the reason why? In this atmosphere, is it a surprise that adult men want their wards to wear long, modest skirts?
Maybe it doesn’t matter what men wants? Maybe if you’re working at a school, stop throwing a fit over girl’s clothing? Maybe a girl showing a normal human body part like knees and shoulders shouldn’t be a problem? Maybe stop making girls be punished just because men can’t control themselves? Maybe stop victimizing young girls and make them responsible instead of actual adults? It wasn’t bad enough girls had to be restricted in their clothing because how dare their flesh distract male peers, but now it’s grown adults?
Adult men has no business wondering about girl’s’ clothing to begin with. If you’re not implanting rules that boys can’t wear shorts or tank tops at school, then kindly fuck off with trying to police girls. Men got themselves into this atmosphere by their own leecherous and pedophiliac behaviors that they never police against each other, they can learn to get themselves out of this situation instead of directing the blame to young girls.
The only good environment I care about is for young girls without being bodies being policed and being told grown men’s safe feelings matter more than their agencies over their own bodies.
