The retreat of reason

[TSwizzle]

Says reality.

Nope.

[Dress codes usually include banned items. Are girls physically barred from wearing pants?

They are being barred from wearing skirts.

It's odd how you seem to think it's a biological imperative that girls wear pink dresses.

I said and think no such thing. Do you think it is acceptable to ban girls from wearing skirts ?

 

[blastula]

Nope.

It's not reality that uniforms aren't necessary? Hm, that's a strange denial. You have never heard of a school that doesn't require a uniform?

They are being barred from wearing skirts.

Yes, as dress codes may include banned items.

It's odd how you seem to think it's a biological imperative that girls wear pink dresses.

I said and think no such thing.

Yet you said in your OP, "FFS, where will this end ? Reality and indeed biology is to be banished." What's biology have to do with clothing?

Do you think it is acceptable to ban girls from wearing skirts?

For a school, of course. Why wouldn't it be? Are you then not in favor of banning boys from wearing dresses?

The reality is, some (a lot?) of schools and institutions do have a uniform and they determine if it's necessary, not you.

Are you then not in favor of banning boys from wearing dresses?

I'm not the authoritarian wackjob.

No, you're a snowflake SJW.

I expect a third neg rep for this one now.

 

[Don2 (Don1 Revised)]

There are some schools in Scotland that require boys to wear kilts.

As predicted, I got the neg rep. Demonstrating just how big of a snowflake TSwizzle is.

 

[thebeave]

I think you two should go settle this behind the swing set after the milk and cookies break.

 

[ZiprHead]

Nah, I'm mostly a pacifist. I've never given anyone a neg rep.

TSwizzle posted a mostly silly OP and got smacked around over it and decided to lash out. It's so ironically funny.

That they determine it doesn't mean it's always required.

I'm not the authoritarian wackjob.

Yet you're the one that says uniforms are necessary. And you also think that when they are necessary, the girls' uniform must be a dress.

That's what I think ? LOL. You are weird.

What are you complaining about then? What's the problem with that school's uniform?

crickets...

My coworkers just repeated the claim that it's the liberals who are obsessed with sex.
That strikes me as odd.

I mean, I haven't seen any coworker's genitals since I retired from the military. And even then, it was mostly very specific conditions of shared living spaces that reduced privacy.
Anyway, if someone presents themselves as male or female, I take their word for it.
If someone outranks me, I do not assume or spread gossip about them having to have slept their way to the top of the middle. Either they're competent at their job or they're not. I DO tend to think that the women in our organization do not have a lot of experience with submarine operations, but that's more of an observation than an accusation.
The person who changed my oil at Jiffy Lube last week? I have no real idea if that person in the coveralls was male or female. I didn't care. I was impressed with the way they responded to a fire that broke out next door, but still didn't care.

On the other hand, my coworkers spend a LOT of time and energy on sex. They are very interested in what's inside a person's pants. And with respect to bathrooms, prisons, military service, child care, and a raft of other topics, they even care about what USED to be in a person's pants.
They will spend quite a bit of time explaining their standards for how to determine the sex of a person (current plumbing or DNA or birth certificate or whatever)...

And just about every story on Military.com about problems in the fleet, you can expect to see a whole bunch of commenters talking about how they should get gays, women, and transgenders off of the ships. No matter what the problem is, it is, in the mind of many veterans, important to purify the fleet, based on what's in their pants, what used to be in their pants, what will some day be in their pants, and what they want to do with what's in their pants.

So, why did you torch the place next to the Jiffy Lube?

I was TRYING to burn a Trump sticker off a pickup, but may have used a teensy bit too much gasoline...

Why bother? The pickup was a goner anyway, he wrecks anything he touches!

Anti-discrimination group Kick It Out has contacted Manchester United to ask them to stop the club's fans singing a "racist" chant about Romelu Lukaku. It says the lyrics, about the size of the 24-year-old striker's penis, are "offensive and discriminatory". "Racist stereotypes are never acceptable, irrespective of any intention to show support for a player," said Kick It Out.

Bonkers;

Teachers should not refer to pupils as “girls" or "ladies” because it means they are “constantly reminded of their gender”, the Government’s former mental health tsar has said.

Natasha Devon told headteachers of the country’s leading girls’ schools that they should be using gender-neutral language when they address their students, and added that the same applied for boys.
