Mixed Feedback

Within just a few hours, Tony’s post had hundreds of comments from a wide variety of people – some not even parents whatsoever! Without a doubt, the father certainly launched one of the more lively debates in internet history. Surprisingly, more than a few people sided with the middle school. They argued that many young men had issues controlling their bodies, and such revealing outfits could lead to embarrassing situations for them.

However, a lot of people also supported Tony and Demetra! Your post has reminded me of some fairly serious body image issues of my own that have stemmed from our cultural shaming and sexualizing of girls’ bodies,” wrote one commenter. With parents and many community members on his side, Tony finally felt ready to take the fight to the school!
