A London Girls School has prohibited the wearing of skirts by the girls.They may wear jeans.The reason,given is "over sexualisation" of the females of the species.What a step for societies claiming to be liberated and emancipated.Is it the beginning of a return to better clothed times,or just the beginning of a new cycle. Do most human activities follow cycles.Or the yearning to return to more conventional values.Values that evolved over centuries by the social animal for self preservation.From the caveman's hirsute,to the victorian top to toe respectability in dress to today's scanty wraps.Will the west come precariously close to the their bete noire ,the Islamic sobriety in dress,which is very visible in the non Islamic east.That is ,when we are not aping the west.
