Why is it phrased as a punishment? Nothing wrong with boys dressing feminine. More people should try it actually, skirts are surprisingly comfortable.

Bc the teacher was a dummy and thought the boys would hate it :)

Yeah she is a dummy, obviously believes strongly in gender stereotypes.

Actually I feel like I remember reading a news story where boys at an actual private school started wearing skirts in the summer because it was so hot and the dress code didn't allow for shorts, it was both as a form of protest and just because it was too hot to comfortably wear pants. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/teenage-boys-wear-skirts-to-school-to-protest-against-shorts-ban-in-heatwave-b1887321.html
