Someone at my school made these in response to my principal announcing a dress code that, as usual, only applied to girls, and I’m kind of proud
I don’t know what’s up with your schools, but we had dress codes for boys as well.
No huge, cut-open armholes that showed their entire midsection (“omg why should they be ashamed of their six-pack they worked so hard for?”)
No pants so low their boxers were showing (“omg he like has the right to be boxer-fashionable!”)
No hats, no hoods up (“omg who are you to tell him no if he’s embarrassed by his cheap haircut???”)
No bandanas, do-rags, or anything gang related (“omg that’s his second family how dare you teach him not to be proud of it??!”)
No offensive, provocative, or violent graphic t-shirts (“But he’s supporting women’s sexual liberartion!!”)
… and those were in addition to having to adhere to the “girls” dress code as well.
You’re in school to learn, not be fashionable, and whether you like it not provocative or needlessly flashy dressing is distracting to boys AND girls.
If a school has a dress code geared only towards girls, yeah that’s an issue because boys most certainly can dress inappropriately as well.
However, there are a LOT more clothing choices and styles out there for women, therefore of course their dress code is going to be more detailed by a rule. Also, women typically are more inclined to try and show off more skin.
TL;DR dress codes happen to exist for a reason, because teenager boys and girls are hormonal crazy stupid things.
