On Monday, Seventeen Magazine tweeted a photo of a message sent to high schools and junior high schools that takes a stand against the rules that girls should not be wearing certain clothes that some find to be inappropriate or distracting.

The message reads, "I'm sorry, can you see my shoulders? Men are never told that their legs, arms or stomachs are a problem for other people. They are seen as human and very rarely seen as something there for your sexual exploits. We are thirteen through eighteen-years-old girls. If you are sexualizing us, YOU are the problem. Dress codes are perpetuating rape culture and oppressive objectification towards young women."

When Seventeen posted this message, Tonkin re-tweeted it to her own Twitter page showing her support for those fighting against these unnecessary dress codes.

The teen magazine posted an article on how girls are being perceived in schools based on what they wear. Apparently, there are female students who have been kicked out of their prom for "immodest" gowns while others are getting in trouble for wearing dresses that expose shoulders.

There was reportedly an incident in Ohio when a female seventh grader was told to cover her bare arms when she went to her school dance in a dress.
