I Like School Uniforms

40 UK secondary schools now forbid girls from wearing skirts.

I think it’s a shame that the femininity of girls is being systematically denied.

Totally agree with this sir. When i do certain things then of course jeans are more appropriate, but if im on a night out or whatever then i prefer a skirt or a dress.

At school i always wore a skirt.

@harveyrider I get the feeling that it's not so much that they want to deny the femininity of their XX chromosome girls. They may anticipate that an XY chromosome student will declare themself a "girl" and insist on wearing a uniform skirt to school. By making all students wear pants, they can avoid a controversy.

@harveyrider I agree. Similarly keeping schoolboys in short trousers until a sensible age encouraged them to be active and carefree - boyish, in other words.
