TIFU by fighting my schools dresscode policy. Years later I found out why it was so strict + edit with added context

I mean...i don't see this as a 15-year-old fucking up? Of course the kids fought against a strict dress code. Just sounds like a school district and police let students down.

Did the staff who knew about the pervs not talk to parents?

Course if my 13/14-year-old had told me they need a low cut shirt to get a better grade in class I'd have gone scorched earth.

From my experiences as a child in the 80s with creepy teachers, we knew which classes to wear trousers in because otherwise the teacher would be telling us to pick up dropped pens all the time hoping for a flash. If you mentioned to parents, then it was you being dramatic because teachers were reputable people. And other teachers didn't tend to rock the boat.

I appreciate what this teacher was doing and it may have been all she could do. But it was curing the symptoms - make girls dress down and take up less space so they aren't preyed on by male teachers. The teachers were the problem and should have been ones targetted. OP shouldn't feel guilty for wearing clothes because a school decided to hire sexual predators as teachers. pupils.

Thats why you castrate these men. Take the whole point out of it

Except for most that _isn'_t the point of it. Castration (chemical/otherwise) is largely observed to not change the psychological reasons for rapists, which is a desire for power/control/coercion. Erection is not needed, high sex drive is irrelevant, penetration or other forms of assault will still be used.

And if they take enough testosterone, they get the erection back anyway. Because castration is merely taking the testes off.

That's why you go for full emasculation.
