Calling it Battle of the Sexes does not sound like a day to dress in the stereotypes of the genders it sounds more like males are going to bash on females and females on males. It's mocking transgendered individuals just like everyday on spirit week this week. Would you like it if one day was called "Mexican Day" where you dress up like a Mexican, you know because all Mexicans dress a certain way. Just nice how stereotypes are perpetuated at schools. Spirit Week should embrace people not mock them. Like the spirit days could be: Something You Believe In Day, Dress Like You Work In An Office Day, Show Off American Imperialism Day, and Emotion Day.
I don't know if this makes sense but that was what I thought of last night as I fell asleep when I couldn't help but think of how stupid "Battle of the Sexes" sounds, I asked other people and they don't know what that means. It's not a very clear answer when it comes to describing the day. When the other spirit days that accompany it are "Cowboy Day" and "Hawaiian Day" are beyond stupid because of the sterotypes associated with it and it seems they are mearly used to mock people to do dress in what the sterotypes of those days would be. This is just me ranting and all I know for sure is that I'm not going to participated.
