"Dress codes exists for a reason?" beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 15/03/2010 01:43:36 AM

Plus, I agree with Issac. Dress codes exists for a reason. Make an exception in this case, and what else will you be forced to make an exception for? Men in skirts? People in causal attire? Tube tops? Where do you draw the line?


Dress codes are meaningless, and more or less arbitrary. What makes denim less "dressy" than some other type of cotton pants?


Don't be ridiculous.
I amuse myself.

That's right, I forgot to add that. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:23:25 PM 721 Views
It's a rather key piece of any attempted analogy, wouldn't you say? Sareitha Sedai - 12/03/2010 03:45:15 PM 614 Views
Again, you're right. Dragonsoul - 12/03/2010 03:59:13 PM 597 Views

What?! Now that is a can of worms I could see getting in a fight over. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 01:24:47 AM 672 Views
Hmm. Apparently it is legal to discriminate upon the basis of gender. Imagine that. Tashmere - 14/03/2010 02:45:51 AM 652 Views
It kind of makes sense, given the highly arbitrary and stereotypical nature of gender. Ghavrel - 14/03/2010 03:35:44 AM 589 Views

No no, I know how you feel. I'm just disinclined to have sympathy for the school. beetnemesis - 12/03/2010 11:28:35 PM 574 Views
