![]() ![]() Matt has a large following on Instagram and Twitter so he can reach a wide audience. But I think it starts with posts like Matt’s. That’s blatant sexism! How We Can ChangeĪ question I ask myself all the time is how we can change this? How can we make women feel more comfortable in their bodies? How can we eliminate the shame that comes from being sexualized based on how we present ourselves? There is no right answer. This school needs to ask themselves why they feel the need to shame young women and not treat young men differently. The yearbook includes photos of boys in speedos. #Yearbook photos girls were altered hide skinIt doesn’t help that photos of boys showing skin did not undergo changes. They feel like they have to hide certain parts of themselves away. One woman pointed out that the altered photos make girls feel like their bodies are something to be ashamed of. What the fuck is up with that?! This photoshop incident is further proof that the way we try and sexualize women’s bodies is out of control. #Yearbook photos girls were altered hide codeIf we broke the dress code we would be pulled out of class to change into something different. When I was in middle school, girls were not allowed to wear tank tops, and skirts had to come down to our knees. I am no stranger to school administrations trying to police the way that girls dress. In many of them, crudely photoshopped rectangles in the colour of the girls. So this high school in florida digitally altered more than 80 girls’ yearbook pictures to make them “less revealing” and i am literally losing my mind at how bad the photoshop is /jN8adheLUx- matt Sexism Galore According to Action News Jax, Bartram Trail High School altered 80 different yearbook photos all of them of girls. What does that even mean? Why the hell is it only girls’ shirts that have to be modest? The implications of the edited photos are, quite frankly, gross. The school in question told the media the photos had to be edited to stay in line with the dress code, which states that girls’ shirts must be modest. Each girl was modestly dressed, but that wasn’t good enough. Twitter is outraged because the photos of these young women weren’t inappropriate in any way. When the news of the horribly altered photos hit Instagram and Twitter, the comments section went wild. We make it out to be that way because of the society we live in. The only implications that come with any part of the female body are those we impose on them. The implication here is that certain body parts, especially female ones, provoke arousal in others and are therefore considered “inappropriate.” Matt is pointing out that there is no such thing as a “sexual” body part. What do you think? Is this weird to you and what do you think they should have done? Let us know in the comments below.A post shared by matt bernstein Sexualizing the Female Body I have to agree that it’s also creepy to me that there were adults scanning through all of these photos to “find cleavage.” Seems very bizarre to me. The strangest part to me is the young girl looks like she’s dressed very modestly, and is nothing compared to what people see on television or on the internet. Viewers commented that, “It’s also creepy to me that some adult was looking through EVERY girls picture for any signs cleavage”, “Stop? sexualizing? children?”, “Yet in that same exact yearbook there are literally pictures of the boys swimming team in nothing but speedos and THAT wasn’t altered.”, “If cleavage is what u see when u find a 9th grader then u have a problem” and “What next? Seriously? I’m asking? Why is this country rolling backwards.” A High School In Florida Digitally Altered Yearbook Photos To Hide Cleavage ![]() The school prohibits clothing that is “immodest, revealing, or distracting,” according to the district’s code of conduct.” At Bartram Trail High School in Florida, the yearbook for this school year contained 80 digitally altered photos of female students in order to adhere to the district’s dress code. “I couldn’t believe that they printed the yearbook looking like that,” said freshman Riley O’Keefe (shown above) after seeing her yearbook photo had been edited. ![]() ![]() Her yearbook photo doesn’t seem “immodest, revealing or distracting” at all (their rules for clothing), and in fact, seems to draw more attention after they placed black bars over her photo. One freshman, Riley O’Keefe, said, “I couldn’t believe that they printed the yearbook looking like that.” A high school in Florida called Bartram Trail High School has digitally altered 80 yearbook photos of female students to mask cleavage. ![]()
