What I don’t understand is a guy in PE can walk out with his shirt off but I can’t show a bit of my shoulder too much without getting in trouble?

Teachers think guys are like: “Hey bros look at that girls shoulders 😍”

My male teacher had me call home because the holes in my pants were too “high”. After our encounter he had a talk with the class. He said things like “Girls should NOT wear pants that have holes above the knees” “ it makes me and my male students uncomfortable” “No one wants to see your big thighs”. He began threatening suspension. He was to worried about our pants to focus on the fact that his punishments were taking time from our education.
