I was shocked to find that in Kanpur a dress code is sought to be enforced for both students & teachers in girl/co ed educational institutions whereby they are prevented from wearing jeans & short tops.
Teachers can not even wear sleeve less blouses( despite my dislike I take offence at such ban ). It is said that such clothes attract unwanted attention & may lead to sexual harassment which police can not prevent.
I wonder tomorrow a hijab may be enforced. Yes tight fitting clothes make a lady feel sensuous or may be attractive as it brings out her sex appeal. But a rose is beautiful wherever placed (no support for nudity though).
I think what is required is sensitivity, maturity & firm handling of offenders & not such pervert dictates. I wonder, why it is not a problem else where or may be it is, as Ms. Sheela Dixit said at the murder of ladies traveling late in Delhi that they have no business to be on road at that hour.
Ladies of the world what are you waiting for? Rights are never given in alms. They have to be earned & protected.
Blood , seat & tears are the price for freedom.
No women, no crime against them...
Why don't you name India as Saudi- Arabia 2 and then you can even punish women who have been raped.
Or name your institutes as Taliban-2
He looked at me like I was stupid and explained it’s so the men don’t have to look at women’s bottoms when they kneel over to pray.
Obviously the women’s fault then
I can't imagine what will happen if their girls wore micro mini skirts
So only women are responsible for morals? Men have no morals? They are totally unaccountable for their actions? I guess all beaches and swimming pools should be closed too? Or should they just be closed to women?
It is true that such restrictions are for women only and no body questions the men but it's the way the world works. We can't revolt immediately.
Even they find it easier to implement changes on people’s life style, rather than punishing the culprits.
It started with 1 article of clothing.
They need to see a psychiatrist.
the state has lost its moral right to govern
Is that the definition of a male?
Have they absolutely no control when they see a women in anything?
For goodness sake, these stupid men have to stop behaving like primates!
a walking penis
ha ha ha ha!!! Too good Lynne!! And you are right, this is what they are when they can't have control on them on seeing a girl wearing jeans.
They have their brain functioning from a different organ altogether. LOL!
I think the girl or woman should be sensible enough to decide how a dress would make her look. Its not that every girl looks sensuous in jeans. Those who do look very provocative in that attire should try out something else in an academic environment. But this should not be generalised.
I think its rather the fat ones with their ultra big dimensions in tightfitting dresses that invite trouble for themselves. As ugliness is measured on a personal meter, I don’t want to comment on that.
Will our Uttar Pradesh politicians ensure good literacy, education? -No.
When dowry is still prevalent what does one expect regarding respect to women.. NO one will respect, neither the woman’s family members as they have to give dowry, nor those on other side as it is only a money deal for them.
There lie no solutions to these problems. BUt, neways, teasing is not this bad in other parts of India. Girls can feel free and roam safely in the nights in Bangalore, Pune and Mumbai. this is something typical of a few select places.

I think your comments are hilarious and to the point.
In Australia all our schools have standard uniforms, which are basic, usually a bit stylish but very practical for the seasons, so everyone looks the same and the kids are usually proud to wear their school colours and uniforms, and as a Mum I think its great, I buy a few uniforms then it saves on their clothes.
May be this could be implimented in your schools so it makes it harder to pick out the sexy ones when they all look the same.
We do have proper uniform in the schools till the 12th standard however they have imposed restrictions on just the girls going to the college.
And the restriction is that they cannot wear western dresses to the college including jeans. They have to be in the traditional indian wear. This is not the dress code but a restriction on the freedom of girls, so that boys doesn't get turned on. How foolish and primitive thought process...
I agree that it is just a restriction on girl’s freedom.
I don’t agree that it has anything to do with boys getting turned on. Boys get turned on by everything!!! A cat, a can of soda, a knot hole in a plank of wood, a slight breeze....ANYTHING...no female even has to be in the area. They wake up that way and they go to sleep that way, that is just hormones, they have to learn to deal with it!
I am telling you ...it is just an excuse to punish girls for wanting equal rights.
i am sure in due course men will have to weardhoti kurta, pajama with a cap 7 will have to drape themselves in tricolor to prove that they love their country
in bengal teachers of a premier school were confined & assaulted because they refuse to wear white saris which in any case is considered to be inauspicious for married women
parents also assaulted with handy missiles
as predicted police refused to register a case
an empty mind is the devils workshop
soon all students will be required to either marry each other or tie rakhis bravo india
there is no place for friendship as every one is supossed to be a black sheep
Constantly feeding on girly magazines, trashy novels & sleeze their eyes are popping out of their sockets, tongue hanging out & mouth salivating
They are like a kid in candy shop going berserk & out of control at the slightest provocation
So why not blind fold them or put them through some psychic treatment
may bea stint in a monastry

I probably didn’t read the article properly to start with, nor do I understand your school system - our kids usually go to school until about 18 years old and still wear uniforms, although they are considered seniors, but after 18 they are adults and should be able to wear what they like, but they will want to be employed one day.
So from my personal experience when I employed young girls to train, I preferred neatly attired with a dress sense, without the bum cracks and vuluptuous cleavages, which did seem to upset the little old ladies more than the guys who came into my shop.
It surprises and amuses me - the amount of problems Indians have between the sexes, and the men not being able to control themselves - well so it looks to an outsider.
Maybe it is just that middle to upper income people tend to be better educated or less likely to feel the need to suppress others to feel important. I know growing up on the poor side of town, everyone was very into gender roles. When I grew up and got away from that impoverished mentality, I did not see gender bias like that.
Whatever it is, I hope they get it sorted out amicably in the near future.
i do not think the administration will guarantee non harassment on non wearing of jeans
at this rate at all beaches or swimming pools there should be frequent rapes
the maid who was raped by an actor in mumbai was perhaps not wearing a jeans
i do not think rape rate is more in western world compared to india
utter nonsense
a feeble attempt to hide their inefficiency /incompetence
like asking some one not to have any valuable so that no one can steal the same
i think boys/men should all attend baba ramdev’s yoga classes to control themselves
The maid who was raped by an actor, knew him he was not a stranger on the street. She would have been safer on the street because almost all rapes are committed by someone the victim knows. Changing the way women dress won’t change that.
Again, I will say that it has nothing to do with fear of rape, it is about having control over women.
Women walk around in jeans here all the time, day and night and there is no Eve teasing.
Let us not, in the name of equality, liberty and modernity, tread the path of the so-called liberated women of the West. This may sound conservative, but it is not so. One should never deride and discard certain good things just for the reason they are age-old customs or accept and glorify anything solely because it is new and modern, without delving deeply into the pros and cons of it.

Telling women it is their fault that they are being molested is just another form of abuse and oppression.
what about child abuse ?
do they wear sexy, revealing outfits?
what of sodomy ?
i think women have become objects of consumption
a trophy
a sense of achievement when a women is overpowered & is subjected to ultimate humiliation
when the most intimate parts of her body no , the core of her soul is violated
death penalty is too small a punishment for such demons
in fact they are sick & should be in asylum,
try lodging a complaint for eve teasing & see what kind of looks you may get from police as if you are soliciting
really shameful
dress code in the land of kajuraho & kamsutra ?
let the state give a guarantee that following the same will put an end to crime against women
has it happened any where ?
dropadi was in a sari when she was disrobed
to day once again she is being disrobed & like bhishma the state is help less
alas there is no krishna so the dropadi has to take up the arms & kill dusshashan donning the robes of goddess durga
is this what state wants ?
in the ramayan era as per late ramanand sagar women used to be top less so >>.
dress code have i heard right .
you are right. Dress code is just an excuse to dominate the women.The crime against women can't be checked by imposing a dress code.
but dress code banning western out fitS
GIVE ME A BREAK
what dress code sita followed when she was kidnapped was wearing a sari i believe
what dress code rambha, menka & urvashi followed in indra sabha
what dress code saraswati the daughter of bramha followed when he chased her like a man possessed despite being ultimate in knowledge
so.....
What men are going to do then ?
Spend their life in asylum or…

none of them were in western outfits
what is needed is training in self defense & ability to think on their feet
only a lamb is eaten away by a wolf not a tiger
so women be tigress & tackle such situation of your own hands on & in your face
& yes pl remember it is at times better to retreat
coregeous does not means being foolhardy
