Let Women Wear What They Want

Since I was in Middle school dress code has always been a huge issue with mostly girls. In the school systems, they apply this dress code, but it is mostly targeted to girls and I always wondered why?

Even now at 23 years old the way a woman dresses is always an issue with our society today. Why is that the girl who wants to express herself with blue hair looked at differently than the girl with blonde hair? Why is it that a girl can't go out without getting catcalled when she decided to put on a short skirt and walk out her door? She did not put that skirt on to get catcalled, she put on that skirt because she thought she looked good.

These concerns occur daily. Why is that young girls and women today have a dress code rather they are in school or if they are out of school. This standard that women must dress a certain way is absurd because you will never be able to please everyone. If women were to dress completely covered, then you are judged, and if you decide to wear a more revealing outfit that shows skin, you are shamed and called a "slut, whore, or seeking attention." These comments sadly come from both women and men.

This needs to stop. Let women and young girls express themselves how they want. Because your opinion on what "dress code" should be is irrelevant. So if that girl wants to rock pink hair and a short skirt, or that girl wants to rock a blazer jacket and pants, LET her. Because having a dress code for women of our society today is crazy! We all have one life to live so let's stop focusing so much on how women should dress. There are bigger issues to worry about.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
