Sexist/Stereotype?

I wore mine and got the piss taken out of me, ain't worn it since.

In my old school some people complained that boys werent allowed to wear ear studs so they stopped it altogether no piercings AT ALL.

That's actually a pretty stupid rule. They're earrings. It's not like someone died because of an earring. And I thought my school's rules were bad, I actually laughed at this.

You can basically come to school in your underwear here which many people actually do

I live in the UK and far as I know boys and girls are allowed to wear earrings at school - it may be different for a Catholic school as they are far too strict.

But I'm not sexist, boys and girls should be equal.
That's like saying boys are allowed to wear trousers and girls have to wear skirts, girls should be allowed to wear trousers.

Or like saying boys should be able to wear bras and thongs?

Anyway, loads of boys wear earings, theres nothing wrong with it.

Boys should be allowed to wear skirts too. It's just not fair.

In my school boys and girls can wear small studs. But if you are a guy, and have them in both ears you will be ripped.

Why would you want a stud in both ears anyway? Is there only me who finds it incredibly femenine for a guy to wear ear-rings? o nose.. i'm being sexist

At my old school, boys and girls had the blanket rule that it was studs only; dangly things, etc were simply unsafe.

The rules here for school wear aren't really enforced unless they're really serious infractions.

I go to the Cathedral School -

Boys - have to wear trousers, can't have hair below their collar, have to wear a tie, can have no facial hair, no coloured socks :S

Girls - have to wear skirts below the knee, have to wear different blouses without a tie

Both - can't have unnatural hair colours, wear any jewelry other than studs, 1 gold chain, no rings, no bracelets
