Heaven forfend and I didn’t get that impression.
I think she was assaulted, told to move around so the principal could evaluate her breast motion. How would that feel to a young girl?
It’s pretty natural to argue that boys don’t have to wear bras and they aren’t specified in the school dress code. That was the time for a little reality- birds and bees talk- rather than “put on band aids”. It’s the difference between imparting some wisdom, and perspective and saying do it because I told you. One makes you resent authority & act out the other makes you think. The dose of shame administered would have made her much less amenable to a logical discussion.
HRC would have been looking to insight a conflict and use it to further her own ends. This girl does not appear to have been looking for attention. There are much more obvious ways to attract the male eye than by wearing a baggy t shirt. The point to convey is that the impression you make doesn’t depend on your intent and you can generate an impression that will result in situations it would be better to avoid.
When I was about 15 I made mumblings about not wearing a bra because ‘why, bras are hot and uncomfortable’.
My grandmother excused herself and I heard her rummaging around in a closet in the spare bedtoom.
She emerged with a 1960’s National Geographic magazine. She thumbed through it for a few seconds and presented me with a picture of (topless of course) African tribal ladies posed for a picture.
‘They don’t wear bras either, that’s what your boobs will look like if you never wear a bra’.
me: ‘I’ll be wearing that bra every single day from now on!’.
If the chick in the gray shirt is indeed the young lady in question, the nipple visible on the left side of the picture has already begun to aim toward the floor. By the time she’s 30 her nipples will be touching her stomach.
