The dress codes of institutions should be changed according to modern times
so that deep-rooted oppression against women can be addressed at least to
some extent.
Women, despite wearing decent clothing are subjected to ridiculous questions
by officials in positions of power. Research paper on the relationship between
social power and sexual objectification by Beijing Normal University makes us
wonder if dress code unchecked would become a very big issue that might
affect a lot of individuals.
We cannot expect a rigid system built based on conditioning to be revamped
overnight. For something to change over time, the rulemaking committees in
an institution should consist of people who are ready to embrace positive
improvements for the benefit the student community.
