i protested against a protest
when i was a more idealistic teenage smash, there was a new rule passed in my school: no girl was to wear trousers, only skirts. as you can imagine, many of the girls were annoyed about this. "boys can wear trousers, why can't we?" they asked.
a perfectly reasonable question, i'm sure you'll agree.
the girls decided to protest outside the gym hall, as they were pissed off the most about having to wear gym skirts instead of shorts. as they were busy shouting their anti-sexist slogans, i asked sarah(the ringleader) if boys should be allowed to wear skirts if they wanted.
"don't be fucking stupid," she sneered, "of course they can't wear skirts, they're boys!"
she truly couldn't understand why i laughed in her face.

Best episode of Mork and Mindy
When Mork protests in order to be allowed to become a male cheerleader.

When I was eight it was awesome.
I really shouldn't have gone back to watch it. I preferred the way I remembered it. It's like Around the World with Willy Fogg... must stay in childhood.

I think a lot of schools have a tale like this.

My school protested too.....
we all locked ourselves in the toilets over this. I have no idea why. And it didn't work.
