It’s 2020 and we’re still facing and battling deep-seated sexism in various areas of our lives. For instance, former Supreme Court judge Katju recently made a misogynistic comment, “Good girls sleep early,” or how someone called out Scotch-Brite for its sexist logo.
An Indian Reddit user started an important thread on how girls face unfair rules and even harassment within the school environment:-

From being asked to cover-up so as to not distract male classmates, to school teachers objecting to female sportswear; Redditors spill the beans:-
Other women shared horrifying instances where they had to face harassment, both verbal and non-verbal at the hands of male schoolmates or even the male staff. The experiences range from teaching girls how they ought to “behave” to predatory behavior like groping, all of which happened within the school premises, which is supposed to be a safe space for kids.
Some questioned how parents and school authorities tackled the harassment.
