Interesting focus of a documentary on what girls think

There was a documentary a short time ago on Apple TV called Boys State, and now it's been followed by a sequel called Girls State, which presents a most interesting problem addressed:
Her platform was essentially women have to think of themselves because the men are not going to. Basically, in the words of one of the girls there, Emily Glasgow, Cecelia ran on an unbeatable platform: a feminist manifesto.

What was the great inequality that propelled these girls to unite under such a slogan? Stricter dress codes and a buddy system that their counterpart at Boys State did not have to adhere to. So while these girls lamented these grave injustices, the boys were discussing policy, albeit with its own issues, but policy nonetheless.
While feminism as embodied by leftists can be appalling, this does provide what to think about as far as dress codes are concerned, and if boys aren't going to held to specific standards, then it's offensive to suddenly decide girls must be. This is something conservatism's had a problem with for a long time, and while some have moved away, it's clear it'll take years until it can be cleaned up, if at all, mainly because leftists have now taken up that very position.

And I won't excuse the harm ultra-Orthodox Judaists caused with the way they went about such BS in past years. As noted before, that does is take away vital attention from more serious issues like Islamofascism. It's time to quit with such trivial issues as "modesty".
