School Denies Girls the Right to Say No If Asked to Dance

I’m just a girl who can’t say no!

Well, why would they say no? Does this woman want her daughter to be an old maid?

Whose bright idea was that?

Where can I find boys who won’t say no?

Well really, it's only basic cotillion etiquette!

R1 RIGHT ON CUE!

So the mother wants her daughter to be a dyke who hates men?

[quote]“It sends a bad message to girls that girls have to say 'yes'; sends a bad message to boys that girls can’t say 'no',” she explained

[quote]“Inclusiveness is not nearly as important as teaching children that they have no obligation to allow anyone to touch them or invade their personal space if it makes them uncomfortable.”

These school administrators are idiots for not understanding this.

Its like the article says...

Its programming girls to say YES.

And programming boys to think that girls can not say NO.

Why is every fucking thing about the girls? Imagine the humiliation of a boy ( especially if he's fat or unattractive at 12) who gets downright refused by the girl, especially if she's nasty about it ( which 12 yr old girls can easily be). Do boys' feelings and self-esteem play no part? Why is it always the girl's feelings?

Oh fuck off R10, boys have to learn that sometimes girls say no. Everyone feels crappy as a kid sometimes, teaches you about being an adult

Has anyone here been to middle school dance?

The girls will be lucky if even one boy asks them to dance.

One kind girl will say yes to the fat ugly boy. Especially if he has some charm, which he is GOING TO NEED.

Fuck yourself, R11. You and your SJWs. They're 11 and 12. What are they going to do, rape them? They'll find out about learning to hear," No" when they're married.

No they will find it out when the girls decide not to fucking dance with them. Its not girls responsibility to make sure boys are always happy and confident, they should be concerned with themselves. Nearly every living man got told no by a girl at a school dance at some point and we are all fine

At my middle school dances lots of girls used to ask boys to dance too. This isn't the 1950s anymore, and the article doesn't say, "girls," it says students.

R10 I'm confused. You're accusing other people of being "SJWs," yet you're the one concerned about boys getting their little fees-fees hurt by something fairly trivial and part of normal everyday life? You sound like the loons who think it's bigotry to not want to date a trans person. You're also so fucking clueless about kids, it's ridiculous. Do you seriously think a girl who's being forced to dance with some boy she dislikes or has no interest in is going to be perfectly sweet towards him?

Part of growing up is learning that other people have the same fucking right to autonomy as you do, and that includes the right to deny or reject you for any reason they may have, whether it's good or stupid. Denying girls the right to say "no" not only eliminates a necessary life lesson, but puts the onus of being unable to refuse entirely on the girls.

This would only be fair if girls had the same social expectation of doing the asking as the boys, and the boys weren't allowed to refuse a request to dance with the fat girls.

As with so many things done in the name of "inclusivity", this leaves the girls no option but to stay home. Why would any girl go to a dance where she isn't allowed to say "no" to the creeps and bullies?

Circle dance.

Problem solved.

Even easier solution, raise all boys to be gay

Train those boys to be Yes-Men!

Any discrimination is evil!

Feelings matter more than your logic or integrity or interests.

Another reason Trump will win in 2020.

Listen r10 straight guys are big enough pussies as it is, we don't need another generation of girls running around helping to blow up their egos.

r22 has the perfect solution

And were boys also forbidden to refuse other boys? Not that they would refuse. They are all juiced up non binaries with huge cocks, apparently.

Teaching straight men that women aren't allowed to say no/reject/ever move on from them is just helping them become the next loser on the news who kills his mom, his wife who is desperately trying to divorce him, his grandma type co-workers and then, like the pussy coward he is, himself.

Way to go, fucktards. Way to fucking go.

So you’re saying girls should not be allowed to refuse boys in case the boys get offended? Fuck off and die you rancid cockdribble.

And this has what to do with gay men anyway?

[quote]Its not girls responsibility to make sure boys are always happy and confident

Then what is their responsibility? Seems to me that’s always been woman’s role. But today, they’re amazons, and it’s very unappealing. Women should be more demure.

R19, I wouldn’t allow my daughters to attend a dance where they weren’t allowed to decline a dance.

Or, I’d send them and instruct them to only ask girls to dance.

And I’d be a chaperone and watch the fuckery.

R31 I hope you're just trolling.

Something is being left out of this story. Are the boys also told they MUST ask ALL the girls to dance? Otherwise, some girls will be left out.

I hope the plump little Mo’Niques ask the little Michael Richardses and Little Chris Pratt’s to dance and make their racist parents squirm!

WW for R35

Are they telling the straight boys that they mustn't say "no" when a gay boy asks them to dance???

Because if they aren't, they're just raising the next generation of Harvey Weinsteins.

R37

Discriminating between boys and girls as potential partners is racist and sexist and incompatible with basic human values!

My shenis should not be denied!

You solve this problem by having a dance card, that way the girl can say "I'd love to, but unfortunately my dance card is full."

What about if the boy is really, really, REALLY ugly?

I’m amazed that any school would think this was acceptable, specially in the current #metoo climate. Tone deaf in the extreme.

[quote]Circle dance. Problem solved.

I know you're at least half joking but my HS had an very interesting and ahead of it's time "elective gym" program. You had to take gym but there was a wide range of electives including square dancing which was hugely popular and great fun for everyone who elected it. I don't recall anyone ever refusing a dance or anyone needing to be told that HAD to agree because there was no question of unwanted sexual attention or anything other than a group dance.

We just did the basic do si dos, allemandes and promenades and had a lot of fun.

This is a grade school dance. No kids should be pressured into one on one dancing with anyone they don't want to get into that situation with. So, yeah, circle or square dances are just fine for promoting inclusivity and acceptance. They could have a "couple's dance" or two as well but I don't think they should really be pushing that on 11 and 12 year olds with no right of refusal either.

I would assume the school stance also applies to girls who ask boys to dance as well as boys who ask another boy or girls who ask another girl because if it doesn't it's quite hypocritical. And, again, right of refusal.

Just for the record I grew up in suburban Chicago, not some hayseed town, and the square dancing gym unit was some of the best fun I had in HS. Very social with no pressure to "conform." I think most of us would have happily elected it every quarter for all 4 years but we could only take it once. The gym unit's popularity says a lot though.

R43

Not enough pelvic thrusting and grinding.

It's important for boys to learn that women will sometimes deny you even if you think you're a great guy. And that even if your feelings are badly hurt and you feel embarrassed you need to deal with those feelings and move on. School blocking them from developmental experiences like this is not helping them. We all have to learn to deal with rejection eventually

So how long before grown men start saying that women are obliged to fuck them in the name of inclusivity? The trannies have gotten a head start on it, of course.

The MRA and "Incel" crazies are already saying it, R46. Since they can't attract girlfriends, they say that "society" should provide them with some.

And of course Harvey Weinstein and his ilk have been practicing that for decades.

The school has since changed the rule.

On further reflection, I'm not sure the school meant it like this. Not like "Girls must say yes" But just that everyone had to dance with each other. That's still a bad rule, but I don't think it was meant to target girls.

Still really bad idea

Just wait till that mother hears what they tell the girls to say about blow jobs.

r48 is right--the school has changed the rule because of public pressure:

I hope all the girls ask each other to dance and all the boys are left standing there awkwardly staring at each other while the girls dance with each other...ya know, cuz the girls asked each other.

And then the boys dance with each other, and everybody wins
