What Do Dress Codes Say About Girls' Bodies? – Ms.

Magazine

a7fbbc987e2b972ddf57c11e6c6244fd You re not going out dressed like that!

What mother would let her child wear such a short skirt?

Think about it: How often do we police girls bodies? Recent talk of school dress codes reveals that it happens an awful lot, and for some confused reasons.

After a New Jersey middle school banned1 strapless dresses from a school dance, more schools2 have been making headlines with various clothing bans and restrictions. Some of these bans focus on attire for dances3 while others target daily wear4 such as yoga pants and low-cut tops.

All, however, focus only on girls clothing, and most5 of these6 restrictions7 are put in place to avoid distracting other students (i.e. the boys).

The concern for overly exposed young bodies may be well-intentioned. With society fetishizing girls8 at younger and younger ages, girls are instructed to self-objectify9 and see themselves as sexual objects, something to be looked at.

A laundry list of problems can come from obsessing10 over one s appearance: eating disorders11, depression12, low self-worth13. Who wouldn t want to spare her daughter from these struggles?

But these dress codes fall short of being legitimately helpful. What we fail to consider when enforcing restrictions on skirt-length and the tightness of pants is the girls themselves not just their clothes, but their thoughts, emotions, budding sexuality and self-image.

Instead, these restrictions are executed with distracted boys in mind, casting girls as inherent sexual threats needing to be tamed.

Dress restrictions in schools contribute to the very problem they aim to solve: the objectification of young girls. When you tell a girl what to wear (or force her14 to cover up with an oversized T-shirt), you control her body. When you control a girl s body even if it is ostensibly for her own good you take away her agency.

You tell her that her body is not her own.

When you deem a girl s dress inappropriate, you re also telling her, Because your body may distract boys, your body is inappropriate. Cover it up. You recontextualize her body; she now exists through the male gaze.

Says15 Soraya Chemaly in The Huffington Post,

What is a girl supposed to think in the morning when she wakes up and tries to decide what to wear to school?

They aren t idiots. The logical conclusion of the distracting issue is, Will I turn someone on if I wear this? Now who is doing the sexualizing?

My daughters would never have thought these things without the help of their school.

Suddenly, offensive hypersexuality isn t just something a girl sees in music videos or magazines: It s embodied in her, and her dress-coded school reminds her of that every day.

So what about those distracted young boys? Where do they come in? By barring particular outfits from school, dress codes help boys identify and objectify16 inappropriate girls and women.

Girls who violate dress codes are violating rules, and girls who violate rules are bad. Bad girls can be17 desirable and sexy18, but they don t necessarily deserve respect19 (even from other girls20).

And where respect is absent, objectification is easy. In her guide to self-objectification21, Caroline Heldman explains how sexually objectified women are dehumanized and viewed as less competent and worthy of empathy by both men and women. Those who are dehumanized may be mistreated22 and made to feel inadequate23.

And if poor self-image is linked with objectification, it isn t hard to see that this cycle feeds itself: Those who are objectified by others are treated as less than human, and in understanding themselves as less than human may self-objectify.

Asking girls to cover up is a Band-Aid solution to far more socially ingrained problems such as general misogyny and rape culture. As long as a girl or woman is always sexualized, it won t matter how much she covers up she ll still be faulted for24 her inappropriate behavior.

It s unfair to expect a young girl to understand the full implications of her body implications put in place by an all-too-often misogynistic society and punish her for not knowing better. A girl needs empowerment, not more complications in her relationship with her body.

Jada Pinkett Smith had the right idea when asked why25 she would let her daughter Willow shave her head:

This is a world where women, girls are constantly reminded that they don t belong to themselves; that their bodies are not their own, nor their power, or self determination.

I made a promise to endow my little girl with the power to always know that her body, spirit, and her mind are her domain.

Willow cut her hair because her beauty, her value, her worth is not measured by the length of her hair even little girls have the right to own themselves.

Sex assaults threaten military trust, Obama tells Naval graduates …

(CNN) A rash of sexual assaults in the armed forces undermines Americans confidence in the military, President Barack Obama told newly commissioned officers at the U.S . Naval Academy Friday.

Those who commit sexual assault are not only committing a crime, they threaten the trust and discipline that makes our military strong, Obama told the graduates, who were commissioned as Naval ensigns and Marine Corps second lieutenants.

That s why we have to be determined to stop these crimes . Because they have no place in the greatest military on Earth, Obama continued.

The president s remarks came amid mounting outrage over sexual abuse cases in the armed forces .

Figures show the rate of assaults in the armed forced increasing, and some top officers are under fire for condoning such acts.

At least two officers responsible for preventing sexual assault are under investigation for allegedly committing the types of act they were tasked with stopping.

Those factors have led to calls for major changes in how the armed forces handle sexual assaults . Obama has demanded his top military brass leave no stone overturned in their quest to prevent abuse, and members of Congress have introduced legislation that would make it easier for victims to get justice.

In his commencement address Friday, Obama characterized the U.S . military as one of the few institutions Americans still trust, but said incidents like sexual assaults, as well as other delinquency by servicemen in the field, could erode that faith.

Even in our military, we ve seen how the misconduct of some can have effects that ripple far and wide .

In our digital age, a single image from the battlefield of troops falling short of their standards can go viral and endanger our forces and undermine our efforts to achieve security and peace, Obama told the Naval Academy graduates, 206 of whom were women.

Earlier this month, the Department of Defense released figures estimating 26,000 cases of unwanted sexual contact occurred in 2012, a 35% jump from 2010 . Those cases ranged from groping to rape.

The vast majority of those incidents went unreported as crimes, the study showed.

Meanwhile, officers at bases across the country are under investigation for allegedly committing sexual assaults.

An Army sergeant first class assigned to the sexual assault prevention unit at Fort Hood, Texas, came under investigation in early May for alleged sexual assault, pandering, abusive sexual contact and maltreatment of subordinates . The military said he s been relieved of duty while investigators look in to the allegations.

Also in May, an Air Force officer who managed an assault prevention unit was charged with sexual battery and removed from duty .

He is accused of grabbing a woman and groping her buttocks and breasts in an Arlington County parking lot not far from his Washington office.

And this week, the Army said it had suspended Brig . Gen . Bryan Roberts, the top general at Fort Jackson in South Carolina, due to allegations of adultery and assault.

Fort Jackson is where most new Army recruits go through basic training, which includes training about sexual assault prevention.

The president traditionally delivers the commencement address at one of the military service academies every year .

In 2012 he spoke at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs . The last time he delivered the commencement in Annapolis was 2009.

Vice President Joe Biden spoke last weekend at the Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut . Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel will speak Saturday at the U.S .

Military Academy at West Point, and also will address sexual assaults, according to a U.S . official.

Obama s remarks came the day after a much-anticipated speech in which the president spelled out a new phase of America s war on terror . He told the new officers Friday they are entering a military vastly changed from four years ago.

Just as you have changed in the past four years, so too have the challenges facing our military, he said, noting the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were still being engaged when Friday s graduates entered the academy.

Even as we move beyond deploying our large ground armies abroad, we need to conduct precise targeted strikes against terrorists before they kill our citizens, Obama said .

Even as we stay vigilant in the face of terrorism, and stay true to our Constitution and values, we need to stay ready for the full range of threats.

Sex Ed and Men and the Marriage Bed : IgnitumToday

In all1 the discussions2 about abstinence3-only sex4 ed lately5 there is much talk about spit and water, licked ice cream cones, and tape that is no longer sticky. Obviously, as many other writers have already pointed out, that kind of abstinence-only sex ed leaves much to be desired, especially for the women who for one reason or another did have sex before marriage and, because of their formation, felt dirty and undesirable.

Fortunately that was not the sex ed I received6. In Protestant youth groups I did hear those things but I was also informed about sexually transmitted diseases and the difficulties of being an unwed, teen mother.

I was also told, over and over again throughout high school and college, about the beauty of sex, the power of married love, and the dignity I, and every man I d date, have as children of God. Perhaps the strongest message I heard was from my mom who told me she waited until she was married, that it was a good and unregrettable decision, and that she wanted me to do the same. This formation helped me make mostly good, chaste decisions and I felt well prepared for a realistic sex life once I was married.

However, the comparable sex ed received by many young Catholic men I know led to a different outcome.

They were also taught about the risks of premarital sex and had role models to encourage them to be chaste, pure, and to save sex for marriage. But along the way, as they were taught about the beauty of sex, the power of married love, and the dignity of every woman, they weren t really taught the healthiest and best way to deal with their natural sexual attraction to women.

They were warned that the woman they were dating might not end up being their wife and so they should help her preserve her purity and dignity, out of respect for her and the man she would marry.

They were encouraged to remember that the women they were attracted to were someone s sister, daughter, maybe even mother and that they shouldn t reduce her to a sexual object to ogle.

They were told they could control their urges, lusts, desires, and attractions by going to daily Mass and adoration, by running and lifting weights, and by the strengths provided by the rosary and frequent confession.

All of those lessons were good and the men stopped checking out girls, stopped looking at porn, and stopped having sex with their girlfriends. They learned the lessons and trained themselves to control themselves.

They reminded themselves over and over again that looking at women as objects and not people was wrong, desiring them lustfully was sinful, and having premarital sex with them was not okay.

Outside of marriage it seemed great, but once they were married problems surfaced. Each man soon found himself in a situation he had long awaited but now made him uneasy. There was a naked woman definitely somebody s sister, daughter, and granddaughter lying in front of him.

She was someone he loved and respected but she was also beautiful and even downright sexy. And there she was inviting him to look at her and then to come to bed, to touch her, and have sex with her. He knew that suddenly it was okay to do these things but it was so ingrained in him that he shouldn t look, desire, touch, and embrace that he was often riddled with guilt and confusion.

Many times these loving husbands would even turn away from their wives leaving the women feeling hurt, confused, unattractive, defective, and unwanted.

It turns out that what they were really telling themselves was looking at women and finding them attractive was wrong, desiring them in any way was sinful, and having sex with them was wrong.

The man felt dirty for wanting her and she felt dirty for presenting herself.

The beginning and the middle of these stories are very different from the stories of girls being told they d be like backwash-filled glasses of water but the ending is still the same.

It is a painful way to begin an otherwise holy, healthy marriage.

Woman suing Salvation Army; claims sex abuse

A woman is suing The Salvation Army, claiming the organization moved a minister from Oahu to Maui after she reported he sexually abused her in the 1950s . Nancy Spencer’s lawsuit filed on Maui this week claims she was 11 when Maj . Richard Taba molested her .

She says her mother told The Salvation Army what happened and believed he had been terminated . But Spencer read in Taba’s obituary last year that he continued to serve as the Salvation Army’s chaplain on Maui for 40 years . A spokeswoman for The Salvation Army in California said Thursday the organization will try its best to investigate the allegations .

The lawsuit is possible because of a 2012 state law that suspends the statute of limitations for sex abuse cases until April 2014.

And so it starts – General Discussion and Dating Stories – Oasis …

The sheep drinking the kool-aid, as righteous statuses now start doing the rounds on social media about those horrors of human beings who murdered the soldier in London, and how if you show any ‘support’ for Muslims across the board in any way, you will be wiped from their friend list.

Please wipe me because I am sick to death of ignorant people who cannot think for themselves.

If we had to wipe friends because somebody of their faith committed an atrocity somewhere in the world, not a soul would have friend.

I just feel despair when I read all the dumbarse comments as they jump on the bandwagon.

Smooth or Crunchy? – General Discussion and Dating Stories …

I’ve always preferred crunchy peanut butter.

Bought a jar of smooth for my daughter to cook some peanut butter biscuits, and the recipe called for smooth.

I’ve just made myself some toast for breakfast and there are now THREE jars of smooth peanut butter in the pantry.

I have lost the battle somehow.

Shakesville: The Army's Sexual Assault Problem, Here It Is

(Content note: military sexual trauma, rape culture, hostility to consent]

After nearly two years of requests from Stars and Stripes, the U.S . Army finally released the 28-page report of a task force convened to address the problems of sexual assault at Army installations in South Korea.

If you have the spoons, you may want to read the whole thing1, as it very thoroughly goes over the rape culture problem of the Army, many of which are familiar territory (i.e., survivors are afraid to speak out for fear of being disciplined themselves; there are insufficient numbers of female unit victim advocates, etc.)

The report particularly singles out problems in the leadership . It notes, for example, that sexual assault prevention isn’t taken seriously, but “perceived as a mandated check-the-block requirement to be quickly completed rather than training to a level of working knowledge.” In light of that, it is depressing but unsurprising that the task force’s findings also included the following (bold emphasis mine):

There is a lack of knowledge among leadership about how to handle reported sexual assaults .

The report implied that leaders, along with their subordinates, might not even be able to distinguish between consensual sex and sexual assault .

Questions remain about what constitutes consent, the draft said.

“Might not even be able to distinguish.” “Questions remain.” Sure.

And is the Army getting right on task with addressing the report’s findings ?

Well, not so much:

According to military officials at the time, the task force was initially scheduled to present its findings to the Eighth Army commander within a matter of months.

However, nearly two years later, Eighth Army officials say that the report has yet to be finalized and approved by leadership, even though some of the task force s recommendations, such as the installation of closed-circuit cameras in barracks, were enacted more than a year ago.

I have plumbed the depths of my vocabulary of profanities, and still I find no words for how contemptible this is.
