[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand most of this as "shaming." [i]All [/i]clothing is basically a reflection of social mores. (And certainly, denim booty shorts can't claim to be functional.) If the social more is that you cover your head, you cover your head. If the social more is that you cover parts of your body that your society deems sexual and private, then you cover those parts. I don't see anything misogynist about requiring girls (as well as boys) to wear clothes that entirely cover their asses. I think the feminist problem is more when girls are held to disparate standards or where a body part is considered "sexual" or inappropriate simply because it is a female body--e.g. never understood problem with strappy tanks, esp. in the summer, where it is really just arms and shoulders that are "exposed."[/quote]
