They are constantly being reminded that what they wear and how they choose to look is too "distracting", "revealing", or "inappropriate" for school, work, and other public environments.

• Carey Burgess, a 17-year-old student in the US, received an in-school suspension and was sent home for the day for wearing a skirt, shown in the photo above, that was deemed "too short". She said in a Facebook post: "Maybe our society isn't yet advanced enough to handle 3 inches of my thigh. ... Maybe instead of worrying about my skirt, Beaufort High should take notice of its incompetent employees, and sexist leaders."

• In the UK, the headmistress of a secondary school banned girls from wearing skirts, so that boys and male staff members wouldn't be "distracted". She said: "It's not pleasant for male members of staff and students either, the girls have to walk up stairs and sit down and it's a complete distraction."
