us circuit court: Unconstitutional to force girls to wear skirts because they are "fragil vessels"

[malaise]

5. I was the first person in my school to wear blue jeans to a Saturday class

My aunt brought me these lovely jeans from New York and I was going to show them off. I was a lil teenager - it had nothing to do with feminism or rebelling against their rules. I didn’t know shit about their rules. The freaking nuns made quite a scene about it, but mum defended me and that was that. Mum was worldly and they regularly deferred to her views.
In no time we all wore jeans or even mini skirts to Saturday classes and school fairs.
I had forgotten about this moment, but some years ago one of my best friends reminded me that I took them on that day. She thought I was very brave. It had nothing to do with bravery - idiots in those ridiculous clothes weren’t going to tell me how to dress.😀😀😀😀
