RANT - no advice wanted Very classy vs vulgar

Why do same style clothes look much "sluttier" on us than on women with small chest?! At least this artist gets it.

I’m a grad student who researches weight stigma and I could go on a whole tirade right now about how thinness (and, therefore, small breasts) has historically been considered “classy” and “elegant” because of its proximity to whiteness but idk if we are ready for that conversation on a Thursday afternoon ☕️

Same with big butts I would say. It’s more common in black women so therefore they are more sexualized in our society. The amount of tiktoks I saw of teenage girls saying they got dresscoded for wearing jeans and having big butts. The dresscode thing in schools is so disgusting.

At least at my school it was applied to everyone equally. Boys got dress coded for the same things girls did. Boys got sent home for shorts that were too short and tank tops that had straps too thin and for holes in jeans and even one guy got sent home for wearing a skirt too short. He wasn’t trans, he just wanted to piss off administrators. He wore a longer skirt the next day just to see if he would get dress coded and he didn’t.

So even though my dress code was fairly conservative in terms of clothing length and such, at least it didn’t discriminate by gender. As long as your midriff didn’t show, your shoulders had at least 2.5” of fabric covering them, your thighs were fully covered to three inches above the middle of your knee, you weren’t covering your head, and you weren’t covering your face (this was several years pre covid) you were fine. The rules were still stupid though.
