In kindergarten at six years old, I was stopped in school hall. Principal had me kneel on the floor, pulled out ruler, fondled my thigh and measured my "exposed skin" from hem at thigh to middle of knee.

That turtle neck navy tube dress was my favorite gift from my big brother's girlfriend (older teens).

When told it was too immodest for school i was reprimanded, shamed, and humiliated.

I never wore my favorite new dress again, and I never dressed for my own self again-- until 20
