[In response to an article about an Australian school adopting a gender neutral uniform policy.]
We have been attacking boys and masculinity for years.Now we are just going to ignore that some people are male and some female. Satin is laughing as we work with him to distort God's creation.

Gender neutral clothing for boys an excellent innovation, allowing all children to wear skirts or dresses with matching underwear: bra, knickers and pantyhose. Gender neutral toilets, boys should be taught to sit down and pee, allow total feminization.
After all God made us female and male in her own image and gave us her only daughter Jessica Christ.
Satin? Sure that wasn't Silk or Velvet?
I believe Scots College boys have been wearing kilts for years, hardly an attack on masculinity.
Girls in school trousers somehow is a threat against masculinity. On that note, haven't girls been wearing school trousers for a while now?
On that note, a gender neutral policy in high schools is likely to be pretty useful if a younger kid of a different sex needs the same uniform. You get a hand me down.

>Gender neutral uniforms would not be an attack on masculinity given that only masculine clothes are considered "neutral"
Actually, the school in question just removed all references to gender in the uniform code, so if one the boys wants to wear a knee-length skirt and stockings, they can. If one of the girls wants to wear tie and blazer, they can.

I liked my school uniform. I think the point of a school uniform, at least the point that was explicitly stated by my school, was that it promoted a kind of equality. Nobody was arguing about who had the cool new shoes and nobody was making fun of the poor kid for wearing the same old clothes. We all had one outfit and it was one less thing to feel stressed about. As a poor kid, it actually meant a lot to me.
@1919350:
Dunno, I believe kids should not be forced into clothing(just as I believe they should not be forced to eat at caffeteria) but I do certainly see your point here. guess It should be a matter of kids parents and society in general being more mature and money or lack of it not being a bullying point and that can be hard to achieve.
From my own perspective when I was in school we never had uniforms in Poland, not in public schools anyway and we were fine, nobody flashed their fancy brand clothes in front of others but I do recognise this was a rather particular period and things are sadly worse nowadays, as I`ve heard from my younger sis.

I remember having this debate back in high school in English.
The problem is that, at least at our schools, the administration always used the argument that it instills discipline. Moreover, my high school uniform design made it very obvious when something was new, and something was worn down. Wasn't that good, especially since it was high school and teens can grow quickly, and we had more than our fair share of snobs (we were right across the road from a prestigious, private school.)
Oh no! The rouge angles of Satin!
Dude, if Satin is laughing, it's time to put down the bong and have a long chat with your friends about lacing your stash.
Why have a school uniform at all?
Anyways,, yes, Satin would obviously manipulate mortal affairs through clothing.
>It should be a matter of kids parents and society in general being more mature and money or lack of it not being a bullying point and that can be hard to achieve.
Since the reason society exists is to demonstrate how much better you are then your neighbours I think you mean "impossible".
God in her wisdom gave us her daughter Jessica Christ all females are made in her image. Satan, the devil is unclean just like all men. Society needs to turn to the daughter of God, all men should be castrated and their penis' removed.
> Actually, the school in question just removed all references to gender in the uniform code, so if one the boys wants to wear a knee-length skirt and stockings, they can. If one of the girls wants to wear tie and blazer, they can.
I'm pretty sure we all know how that will work out in practice.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
