“Mom Sparks Controversy Over School Dress Code: Is There a Double Standard for Boys’ and Girls’ Shorts?”
“A key takeaway for me is that women and girls are sexualized from the moment they enter the world. It’s not just Kmart and these shorts. It’s the crop tops, and it’s the ‘cheeky’ cut swimwear,” she told news.com.au.
For the mom, the issue is not only evident in the length but also in the design of clothing intended for boys and girls.
“It’s a problem that runs far deeper than short shorts. It’s the fact that young girls’ clothes are always decorated with the hunted animals: unicorns, rabbits.
“Then the boys’ clothes are the hunter dinosaurs, lions, etc. Perpetuating the idea that girls and women are helpless and weak, and boys and men are aggressive and strong.”
Bored Panda has contacted Kmart for comment.
“Absolutely insane. I have the same frustration,” another mom shared
