LOL. I've always wanted to travel through time, but apparently I only need to visit this forum to experience the 1950s!
Go to work in a dress and heels for 8-9 hours, and report to us how comfortable you were - especially if you work in a job like mine, where I'm constantly up & down, carrying books, pushing carts, leading patrons around the library, etc. Thankfully the majority of society has evolved since the '50s, so we can now be equally as comfortable as men in pants.

I can't believe that NBC is televising women's beach volleyball in primetime - its practically like showing the Playboy channel to 7 year olds.
At least the male volleyball players have the decency to actually wear clothes.
You think a bikini is pornographic? I guess you think children shouldn't be allowed at public beaches or swimming pools, then? Americans can be so uptight!
Why can't parents raise their children as they are supposed to be raised. Why are children given so much freedom to dictate to their parents how they will dress?
Please enlighten us, how exactly should a child be raised? I bet if I asked that question of 100 different parents, I'd get nearly 100 different answers... so basically you're just saying "why can't children be raised how I personally think they should?" And that's a rather self-absorbed perspective, IMO.
This has to do with culture and the values of that culture. Being from LA I should think you'd know more about competing cultures and their disparate values than I do. We are growing ever more distant from each other.
Believe it or not a boy going to school in a dress is NOT common in L.A.
What would be common would be for the boy to be Hispanic with a best friend whose mother is white and whose father is Black who attend Temple on Friday evening and carpool with a Muslim kid whose parents came to this country just before the Vietnamese family next door did. And the Vietnamese family has a daughter who is gay and won an Oscar for a documentary on radical vegans. THAT'S Los Angeles. Oh, and they all enjoy donuts from the Cambodian-owned shop next to the building with "TACOS" painted on the side of the stucco wall. And Vietnamese kid speaks Spanish better than the Hispanic kid at the beginning of our little story.

What's so bad about a boy who wears a dress to school
First off he's a boy, then there is the good chance someone will beat his ass and he will be picked on and look like an idiot, oh yeah he's a boy. other than that i guess if he is mentally capable of facing the other kids and their remarks then go for it, bad parenting but they will pay for it down the road as will the kid for the rest of it's life.
What if a mother was okay with this? Not all parents care about how their kids dress, ya know.
Never implied that it was or wasn't. If mom has evaluated the pluses and negatives and deems it fit, more power to the family unit.
But I'm really sorry and apologize for this but I just had to do it.
