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
