get to wear pants when it is cold?

Good for the boys.

In ancient times when I was in High School on a campus type school it never mattered how cold, wet, rainy, snowy or windy it was we females had to wear skirts or dresses. The boys could wear whatever they wanted. They probably would have gotten in trouble for wearing skirts but then they never needed to protest that their comfort was compromised for sexist, controlling reasons.

I hope this works for them or at least they can wear skirts.
