(go to the link below to see all 7--warning, do not eat or drink anything while reading, especially #4)
You’ve poured years of hard work and determination into your high school education. You’ve thought carefully about what to wear to your prom to express your truest self. You’re ready to have the best night of your young life and what happens? Your school says you can’t go to prom because they don’t approve of your outfit.
As we well know schools love to police girls’ bodies, so sexist prom policies predictably rear their ugly heads every year. But it drives us crazy every time. Do boys ever get reprimanded for their attire or told what to wear to the big dance? It’s safe to say it happens rarely, if ever. Take a look below to see seven of the most eye-rollingly sexist prom policies we’ve come across.

I was right!

But it did spam me to an App App automatic pop up for some game app. (I am on an iPad.)
Kind of lame, actually. But mostly invasive and annoying.
I guess this follows the rule, never click through any link that starts with a "number best/worst/eye-rolling whatever."
It is just click bait. Yet I fell for it again.
Sorry, my friend. I just thought you should know that your link leads to an ill behaved site. Too bad. I wanted to get pissed off about this. Instead I got pissed off at the Web Site, probably not the best use of my anger.
My regards.
I will try on my iPhone and report back here.
Somehow, it worked on my iPhone. The slide show never popped up on the iPad. Maybe that's because of no broadband here, only remote cell towers. Oh well!
The article was infuriating. Of course, since the guys are all cinched up in tuxes, they wouldn't be checked would they. But if a girl wanted to wear one, of course, that's hideous. And given that the prom is about love and stuff, we need the staff to police that there is not too much love going on. I remember a teacher in high school who would slap people with a ruler if they held hands in the hall (early sixties).
Of course, some of this is 
. But when I taught high school, I always volunteered for prom duty. I was always polite with the students and was also very proud about their good behavior, and I did not care what they wore. My students were happy to see me there. That was a plus, too.
Let the kids have fun is my recipe.
