All women should have the ability to decide what to wear and when to wear it, free of judgement and condescension of others. If a woman feels confident, anyone that discourages her clothing should be ashamed. No person has the right to make others unhappy. Women are frequently forced to confine themselves to the standards that society sets for their choices, while men can get away with wearing just about everything. Just because a woman is wearing something that shows off her figure, does not mean that it should be defaulted as inappropriate.
Primarily, many dress codes are aimed at females. Rather than teaching others to not sexualize girls by the outfit choices, people—more often men—are being taught that it is okay to objectify women. This stems into larger issues later in life. If no one is telling men to stop dehumanizing women at a younger age, then when they mature and find themselves fitting into the workplace, they will be more likely to think that looking at females in a sexual way is okay. Additionally, many dress codes lack male clothing restrictions, so dress codes have been made into a way for administration to single mostly females out.
