We could discuss it for days because it is fascinating, but a middle school culture that has boys pressuring other boys to devolve into jerks and idiots who have no respect for women and girls is - on anyone’s radar - a bad thing. There is a lot of confusion on the Internet over what constitutes feminism or a feminist. The two of you will continue to be people who stand up for what is right. He was brave enough to go see the counselor about it. He did not like the way it made him feel. You are one of the heroes of this story. If somebody says something, turn it back on that person and say, “Are you from the 1950s where men got to smack women’s butts and get away with it? Because I’m not, so back the heck off.”Īs you see in Kyle’s story, he did not want to be dared by his friends into being less than a gentleman. The whole seventh grade should be owning what happened and learning from it. Wherever harassment and objectification are permitted to permeate, the entire culture is in crisis. People were being pulled from the path of a speeding bus. When you girls were in the counselor’s office, nobody was being thrown under a bus. But now what do I do about the people who are mad at me? And do you think I did the right thing? The whole seventh grade is talking about it! Thanks!įirst let’s be clear about one thing. It turns out just after we left the counseling office he came in to talk about how he felt bad about it. Me and Kyle talked it all out, and he apologized and promised to be more respectful.
Now I’m being blamed and I’m so confused. But I hadn’t, I just wanted to talk about my situation. So later in the day a few people were really mad at me because they thought I had told on all of them. Some of them were my friends and I felt really bad because I wouldn’t have thrown them under the bus. The other two girls named a bunch of people who were also involved. When we got there I told the counselor about what happened. They talked me into coming with them because I was kind of involved. Two girls, Peyton and Carly, wanted to go to the counseling office. I found out that this has been going on for a while with other people. Then he says “fine I won’t smack it I’ll just touch it” and I was pretty mad and just ignored him. I told him no and this whole thing was weird. Then he said that if I gave him a hug he wouldn’t. I told him I was not OK with it and he better not. He said that he was dared to smack my butt. So this boy I know, Kyle, was acting really weird and I texted him and asked why. Recently guys at my school started daring each other to smack girls’ butts. “It is more than a bit of a double standard to expect girls to be the ones to prevent 'distractions' with how we dress.Hi, Weezy! I’m in seventh grade.

“The faculty view was pretty much ‘as long as we can't see your underwear, you're fine.’” She doesn’t think girls should let too much skin show in an academic setting, but finds this kind of policy sexist. “I usually have bigger fish to fry.”Ībby Lee is a high school senior from Arkansas who says the start of the legging trend a couple of years ago wasn’t a big deal at her school. “Making sure student dress is appropriate has to be part of my job, but it certainly isn't at the forefront of my mind,” Miller says.

Miller added that she is not sure she would notice if a girl’s leggings did not offer full rear coverage. “I think leggings and jeggings are perfectly acceptable if worn in a way that covers the student's rear end,” she says. As a middle school English teacher in Rogers, Ark., she finds low-cut tops and lower-cut jeans revealing rear cleavage or “whale tail” much more distracting.
