You’re right.
THEIR prom
THEIR venue
THEIR rules
OUR public shaming of their retrogressive standards
(I think you forgot the last one? Probably an oversight? )

We are trying to focus on the inner beauty
So it’s cool if they wear jeans and a t-shirt to prom, right? Because we’re focusing on their inner beauty so no need to spend $300 on a fancy dress.

And at the end, a link to the article about Season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale. Hmm…

You could probably put it over your head to prolong the effects of jenkem huffing; which is totally what morally dangerous druggie kids are into these days.

We are talking about community standards, not law. I really doubt that any of the girls attending this prom has chosen a dress that would get her arrested if worn on the street. Private parties and dances have generally been less restrictive venues, not more.
I was replying to the dismissive “love it or leave it” tone of the post, as if no one has a right to question arbitrary rules. You don’t think the analogy is apt? Not all dress codes, but these ridiculous ponchos come from the same authoritarian impulse.
If by “trigger”, you mean a subject that people feel is worth debating and/or mocking, then yes, clothing and attempts to control young people’s sexuality have been triggers for millennia.

Remember to keep room for the Holy Ghost!
I was.
One of the ones the Boston Globe outed was from my parish; he was young and fun, the kids all loved him…one teenager far too much.
I found the bad ones were few and far between, but I do remember them the most.
What? No uniforms?
In another vein, this is a modesty panel. Sometimes it’s a desk add-on, or it’s built in, but it’s there so you can’t see the lower bits of a woman in an office setting.

Is the labia prom dress riling up the God botherers again?

aw, damn. I was imagining this sort of thing with strategicly opaque sections for “modesty.”
I remembered you live in Oz quite a while after I replied to you. Sorry! I live in Metro Detroit, and Dearborn is an inner suburb. As @anotherone mentioned, it is predominantly Muslim.

I don’t get the name; I can’t imagine Modesty Blaise wearing something like that.

Those ponchos look pretty short, they don’t seem very modest to me. But I guess the boys would be pretty happy if the girls are required to change out of their dresses and wear those ponchos instead.
That has never really made sense to me. If you’re ostensibly selling someone for sex, shouldn’t someone experienced and confident in their sexuality be worth more?
Unless, as in the photo, you’re at an angle or off to the side of the desk? Perhaps women should be confined to fully-enclosed modesty closets, so that no one can accidentally see them in a work setting. /s

Extreme cut jeans, anyone?
This was Our Lady of Sion College in Melbourne.
And the fact that it happened in Box Hill is not particularly ironic.
