oh no don't wear spaghetti straps and show your bra. Girls emulate older women at a much younger age. If boys were wearing speedo's and skin tight pants then they'd also have rules but its not something boys do. There are more rules for girls when it comes to clothing because girls tend to develop a sense of fashion earlier. Boys pick up 4 day old clothing off the ground and wear it.
But young boys also have rules like no profanity or offensive clothes and you can't wear certain gym clothes as regular everyday wear like gym shorts. They also get a ton more focus on their behavior since the trouble they get into is how they act day to day. Can anyone source any camp rules where there are no rules for boys?
Girls only dress up because they are forced to stay clean, their ripped clothes are taken away and everything they are given is less rugged, so curation is important.
You bet if girls break any of the boys rules they get punished.
From my experience girls dress up because they like to get dressed up. It's part of finding their identity. Boys do it by trying to behave like what they think strong men are and girls do it through clothing. Both instance they pick adults that shouldn't be marketed at kids but unfortunately are like Andrew Taint or whatever adult women pop singer is in that week.
If boys wore strap tank tops they would also be disciplined. Nothing really tragic is going on here
Well you just seem like you are part of the problem
Ok. I'm just suggesting that maybe these lines of dialogues have other explanations and are not just "girls are treated like shit and boys never are" because I don't think that's actually true and reinforcing that does more damage to people then anything.
Girls are treated like shit, bringing boys into the conversation about how girls are treated like shit is nonsensical. Like what about fast food workers? They get shit money and exploited!
No they're fucking not. Not any worse or better than anyone else. That's so stupid
