Do you think her shorts are too "revealing"?


Catherine Pearlman's 13 y/o Daughter from New York was told by her shcool that her SHORTS were too SEXUALIZING and that she was dressed "inappropriately" and has now penned an open letter to the school to take her daughteer shopping for a new wardrobe that adheres to their guidelines!!

The parenting guru wrote a scathing attack on the school explaining the hardships of finding clothes for a 5'7 daughter and shared the photo of the too "revealing" shorts that violated their dress code

She said "Thank you for sending a note home for the second day in a row to say my daughter was dressed inappropriately for school. I'd like to offer an additional thank you for forcing her to change into large mesh shorts that have been worn by only god knows who and potentially never washed. To reward you for treating my daughter with such conceern, i am cordially inviting you to takemy daughter shopping. I wish you loads of luck"

She wanted to prove how hard it was to find clothes that were appropriate given the harsh "specificiations" the school has placed on girls, especially for a tall a girl like her daughter is as she doesn't like anything pink, purple or frilly and doesn't like pants because she's easily overheated and hates dresses when she doesn't have to wear them. She also hates visible logos and wears any t-shirts fearing SUPERHEROES, Green Day, USFL, and the Beatles.

She also explains that girls can't wear tank tops, shorts and skirts must not extend to the end of the fingertips as well.

Catherine finally said "So,, if i were you, (and i'm glad i'm not) i'd focus on the shorts first. She has very long fingers which seems to make finding shorts that won't get her to to the principle's office impossible"

She asked the principal to take a few afternoons and weekends off to find clothes for her daughter and to stay "within reasonable budget" and ended it with "Sick of the Dress Code Mom"

Catherine wanted to make it clear also that her daughter's body is somehow a distraction to either herself or the boys as during gym class she wasn't allowed to wear Yoga Pants because the boys couldn't CONTROL themselves and appreciated how the school tried to drive that point home.

Her daughter is a self-described feminist and hates how the school has double standards for boys and their outfits compared to girls...

Do you think those shorts are too "revealing"? let's see what people think

She's 13. Doesn't it seem kind of gross to claim that her clothing choices are too "sexual?" Like, the person doing so is literally viewing a 13 year old in a sexual manner.

If her T/A isn't actually hanging out in the open, who cares.

It's obvious in this case her shorts aren't revealing, but the school has to stubbornly stick to rules. I can get where they're coming from because it has to be the same rules for everybody but this just seems silly to me.

Oh, please protect our mighty administrators from their illicit thoughts when looking at a 13 year old girl in shorts that come down to the middle of her thighs. Let these kids know shame early, so they build those body image issues. It's the American way.

I don't think the person is doing that. It seems like it's an across the board rule that when your hands are at your sides, your fingertips must not be lower than your shorts. There were similar rules like that when I was in school. It's stupid, I agree, but I don't think the person judging her is doing anything malicious.

It's funny how you almost never or very seldom hear about these things when it comes to boys.

I'm surprised girls that age with natural huge boobies aren't enforced to wear extra layers of clothing to conceal their mammaries.

Can some explain why people frame dress codes as sexism issue since males have follow them too?

there's nothing wrong with them. i know in school they were supposed to be like past your fingers so that's why she's posing like that but she also has long arms. a lot of girls wear shorts shorter than that.

Its a rule in most schools that your shorts have to go lower than the tips of your fingers. They have a lot of dress code rules like that. The article is just more clickbaity with words like feminist and sexualizing

Those shorts are fine. This is why rules based on silly things like length of fingers are dumb. If you are going to scale it, scale it to something actually relevant to the shorts, like thigh length.

Topics like these always seem like excuses to do things creepy people want to do.

Like a video of young girls in a dance competition: "TOO sexy TOO soon" and then everybody shares the video and debates it, and it's like

If that video is too sexualizing, we shouldn't all be sharing it and watching it
If that video is not too sexualizing, then there is nothing to talk about

Either way we are better off just moving on than all watching the questionable content under the guise of "my opinion matters"
