Well, that is where there is a difference of opinion. There is a reason 
for dress codes. The dress code here, made by our esteemed 
headmistress/principal, was rather specific about low Vs and so on. So 
if women have a problem with men saying hey, they are men and they do 
not have perfect control over their eyes/brains then I am afraid it is 
hard to come to a amicable solution. Women can rightly say that some men 
have their brains down there and guess what, all that can be done is to 
constantly remind such men to use the one up there.


You cannot have everything you want. If other WOMEN will say something 
about your dress, then you can hardly expect all the lads to have 
nothing to say.
