@goat77 Agreed that your school blundered into a big sticking pile with the way they worded their letter. It's certainly inappropriate (and disturbing!) as you noted, and in its choice of words would certainly make the female students feel rightfully vilified and creeped out. It also means that what they were trying to convey (that the uniform be worn as intended) hasn't been respectfully communicated. 

I feel like there is a more nuanced conversation that has to be had here. Yes it's outrageous that the parents of the girls at this school have received this letter littered with questionable directives about the impact of their uniform. However these girls are at school to do schoolwork. Not at the gym or at their weekend gatho. 

@laura__palmer I'm definitely showing my bias, reflective of the choice I made to parent my own children in their own home (as a university educated woman who had a 'career' before her first child was born). 

@laura__palmer I just don't think caring for your own children in your own home is this amazing contribution to society

Hear hear! I left the world of 'work' to parent my three children,  and it ranks as the most meaningful and purposeful work of my life.  Now that I have returned to paid work after 17 years, I can say without compunction that it is a financial transaction only and that it pales in comparison to the real work of my life in working out how to be a good human being! 'Work' is a construct sold to us as grist for the capitalist mill, and largely moves people away from their true passions or monetises them. Of course essential workers don't fall into this category but most work ain't that sadly!
