Boys protesting against sexism and the dress code by wearing skirts to school

 During this past week the boys in a school in Montreal have been protesting against sexism and the dress code by wearing skirts to school. The boys in the school were saying that girls get sexualized for wearing skirts and more clothes. Also explains that girls get dress coded more. The boys continued to elaborate that the parents shouldn’t teach their daughters to cover up (to protect themselves) but to teach their sons not to sexualize someone for what they wear. I wanted to talk about this because in this school (NT) toxic masculinity is a big thing. There are so many guys I see on social media making fun of guys specifically for wearing more feminine clothing. Or just guys making fun of women for what they wear. I feel like this is an example of the media because they are using their voice to protest and spread awareness on social media. They have been posting pictures and getting it around the news and I think its a perfect example of what the media is supposed to be about. In the past decade we have created new technology and inventions and what better way to use those new things and new forms of media then to spread awareness and educate others. I also loved how in this movement it shows that the boys care too and they understand us girls. It really shows how they are on our side and they have our back.

    I’m really glad you wrote about this issue. This is something that I feel strongly about. The dress code is very sexist, me and my friend would get dress coded for having holes in our jeans and for having shorts that where “too short” and for wearing tank tops. I also agree that it is nice to know that there are guys that care about this and that have our back, as you said.

BLM sign

 This is a welcoming sign. Because it suggests that they support the blm movement and that is welcoming to the black community knowing that their household has their support. This family probably felt the need to put this up because during the past couple of months racism has been seen more and more obvious. The sign is intended for the black community. Some people including myself see it as a movement to in power the innocent black lives that have been killed but on the other hand some people see it as a way to disclued other races. But we already know white lives matter. We have known that for the past thousandths of years. But right now it’s about black lives.
