Oh the horror of it all:
Clare was pulled away by one of the dance’s organizers, who told her that some of the fathers chaperoning the event had complained about her. They reportedly said that her dancing was too “provocative” and she was going to “cause the young men at the prom to think impure thoughts.”
Clare in fact hits the nail on the head.
Clare writes in her blog post. “I’m not responsible for some perverted 45 year old dad lusting after me because I have a sparkly dress on and a big ass for a teenager. And if you think I am, then maybe you’re part of the problem.”
Welcome to the upside down world we live in where what you wear can be used to justify even the most heinous act.
This is the reasoning behind much of the worlds dress codes of the present and the past, inflamed males.
More broadly, Clare’s story is just the latest installment in a long line of examples of schools telling girls to cover up so they don’t distract their male peers. Ultimately, that attitude teaches girls that it’s their responsibility to prevent themselves from being ogled, rather than teaching boys to have the self-control to refrain from objectifying their classmates.
The question is, what does not inflame young males and their gawping elders? It seems to be remarkably easy to get their burners going. Hence the walls and eunuchs of the seraglio, especially the eunuchs part [or lack thereof].
Welcome to the world as we know it Clare, upside down and back to front.
Perhaps if they studied the prison sexual assault records more closely they would find that women have little or anything to do with the "problem".
