How do you feel about the way schools often seek to control how girls dress

on the basis that it is just too distracting for the boys?

Personally i feel that objectifies young women and gives young men too little credit.
Just another example of women's bodies being considered offensive or inappropriate.

If you want to tell girls that they can't show their shoulders or belly or legs then you better make damn sure that the guys aren't allowed either.

I'm an educator and could care less what people wear to class. Telling women to cover up because it is distracting is just code for having no commitment to mentoring young people. Mostly young men.

That said, I can not count the number of times I've been like WTF at how women dress in the lab. Open toed shoes? Heels? Cleavage, bare belly? Pulling a short skirt down every 2 seconds? Seriously? No. Just no. No.

@Celine Sure. It's safety. But it also reflects poor judgement and a lack of introspection.
