Search Results: double standard

First, I have nothing against dress codes at private institutions that no one is forced to go to or attend. That is their choice to have them, and should, when and where appropriate.

I'm just wondering if in this case there is a double standard. Here's my point. Hear me out please.

If you are a female student at "Boylan Catholic High School", the following is what you "CAN NOT" wear...

And it doesn't stop there, here's more...

OK, fine and dandy so far since this is a "Private School" and should be allowed to have their own rules.

But to me here is where the "Double Standard" comes in. Here are the guys dress code rules...

They show a guy allowed to wear "Hot Pink" accents. Pink has always been considered to be a feminine color by a large percentage of the population. We can argue all day as to whether it should be, or not, but that doesn't change the fact that pink on guys can, and will, bring on a more feminized connotation by many more than almost any other color. I personally don't have anything against guys wearing pink, so don't take me wrong.. but that doesn't change my point of how it is perceived by some others.

Here is my point, and my question... why can guys come to the prom in, what many consider, feminized attire and girls can not attend in even slightly sexy dress?

Why am I thinking that the Catholic "men" leaders, who are in charge of these catholic institutions and are still to this day molesting catholic boys, making these decisions?

Am I just a conspiracy buff, imagining things again?

What do you think about the whole dress code of Boylan in general?

Fist it’s a double standard, Have you ever heard a man being described as a ‘hottie-digger’? No. Seemingly, it’s acceptable for men to value women for their looks. Men want beautiful women – or as beautiful as they can get. Yet, when women value men for their financial soundness, we’re described as gold-diggers. I think that is completely unfair. What’s good for the goose should be good for the gander, and if men are allowed to value something as shallow as the size of our butts, then we should be allowed to value something as shallow as the size of their bank accounts.
