Not that I pay particular attention, but I have a high-school age daughter and from I’ve noticed, there seems to be an even split.

It’s not like I pay special attention, but I have a high-school age daughter. I’d say from what I’ve noticed there is an even split.

I’m pressing you for one reply, to justify or defend the position you have argued yourself into. But you can’t, can you because you know you’re wrong. Or you like looking at pictures of schoolgirls…

The only information you have given me is that 1) you think I’m a peado and 2) you like looking at pictures of schoolgirls.

The one thing I have actually asked you: why do the newspapers so so many images of one particular type? And you refuse to answer. Whilst defending the practice.

😂. So you’ve finally understood my point. You could just say ‘oh, yeah, that is weird!’ but you got too invested in implying I’m a peado didn’t you? So now your pride won’t allow you to do anything but slink away. Bye!

What I am saying is, “isn’t it weird how, out of all the children wearing clothes, the newspapers decided to predominantly show one subset”. Why is that? Can you explain?

Now you are moving the goal posts. “pictures of boys and girls wearing their school uniforms.” I’ve been quite clear that that’s not what I’m referring to. Can you explain why there is not an even distrubtion of boys/girls; long/short/trousers, as I described in my previous post?

Well first, it wasn’t me who mentioned about musicians or adults in school girl clothing.

I have comment because, if a random selection of schoolchildren were photographed, I would expect an even distribion of boys and girls; and for girls short skirts, long skirts and trousers. But we we don’t see that in the pictures which are selected. We overwhelmingly see girls, in short skirts. In my opinion that is weird. It gives creepy uncle vibes.

I noticed the girls and their clothing as a continuation of the trend. I trend which I have noticed over several years of such stories. Why does this trend exist? Can you explain?

And as I have said repeatedly, but I will stress once again, I am not commenting on peoples choice to wear whatever they want, regardless of age or gender. I am commenting on the choice, by the photographers to always photograph one gender, of a particular age, wearing particular clothes. Or perhaps the editors to always chose images which meet those criteria, as I’m sure the photographers take many many photos. Or are they simply stock images, and there is a limited pool to choose from? I don’t know, I’m not a journalist. But nonetheless, this trend exists, and I think it’s a bit weird.

Also you say I immediately commented… Well, when should I have commented?

You’re trying to imply that I’m some sort 9f peado for noticing a weird trend of displaying young girls, whilst defending that trend as perfectly normal. I am just pointing out that this trend exists. In this case, in an article about boys and boys behaviour what purpose is the picture of some girls?

And again, I am not commenting on the cloths the girls are wearing, insofar as it is their choice. I am commenting that it’s a bit wierd that images like this are always selected for these stories. They rarely chose images of schoolboys, or girls wearing trousers. Why is that?

You’re trying to imply that I’m some sort of peado for noticing a weird trend in displaying young girls, whilst also defending that trend as perfectly normal.

Nooooooooooooo! I’m shocked it tell you!

Again, it’s not that I find it improper, it’s I find it curious that this is the go to image for any story about schools, school children, exams etc. And I find it especially ironic that it’s the image selected for talking about how we need to change boys attitudes.

No, I don’t.

Right, and out of all the real kids going to school, they always manage to find the girls in short skirts to photograph. Not girls in trousers. not boys.

What? I’m commenting on the sexualisation of schoolgirls by the media…

I’ve edited my comment, as I think I didn’t communicate clearly enough.

That’s exactly what I am blaming…

And yet, as with every article discussing schooling, or exams, it’s illustrated with a photograph of schoolgirls in short skirts. I think that’s a bit weird, personally.

Edit, as there seems to be some misunderstanding: people can wear whatever they want - I find it weird that the newspapers always illustrate their articles about schools and exams with pictures of school girls in short skirts. It’s never boys, and never girls in trousers. This is especially ironic in an article about how boys view girls.

Was really hoping the bacteria would be throwing a party…
