COMM lab

The other day in class my T.A. for my Comm lab was discussing how we needed to prepare for our persuasive speeches. While he was going over the guidelines, he mentioned that “girls need to watch what they wear as to not to distract the boys.” I was like, wow, I cannot believe you just said that. When he said that, I wanted to ask him, well I hope the boys don’t wear short sleeve shirts because their arms might distract me. He could have said something else; he did not have to say it like that. I did find it amusing though that a teacher actually said that. Why should girls have to watch what they wear when guys don’t have to be conscious? I mean, there are things that a guy can wear that would distract women, so why not point out to the boys that they should watch what they wear as to not distract the girls? Way to have a double standard against women.
