For schoolgirls, the skirt is on the way out. An analysis of the uniform policies of schools in England shows that at least 40 secondaries have stopped girls from wearing them, while others are consulting on a ban.

The change to trousers comes as schools opt for gender-neutral uniforms to cater for transgender pupils.
P.S. Tie britai:))
girl (n.)
c. 1300, gyrle "child, young person" (of either sex but most frequently of females), of unknown origin. One guess [OED] leans toward an unrecorded Old English *gyrele, from Proto-Germanic *gurwilon-, diminutive of *gurwjoz (apparently also represented by Low German gære "boy, girl," Norwegian dialectal gorre, Swedish dialectal gurre "small child," though the exact relationship, if any, between all these is obscure), from PIE *ghwrgh-, also found in Greek parthenos "virgin." But this involves some objectionable philology. Liberman (2008) writes:

Girl does not go back to any Old English or Old Germanic form. It is part of a large group of Germanic words whose root begins with a g or k and ends in r. The final consonant in girl is a diminutive suffix. The g-r words denote young animals, children, and all kinds of creatures considered immature, worthless, or past their prime.

  1. Irgi mat naujiena. Lietuvoj būdavo be kelnaičių (iki karo). Žymiai patogiau ir sveikiau.
    Jeigu rimtai - o škotiški sijonėliai? Irgi genderistės uždraus. Tada škotai liks visai nuogi, nes kelnaičių tikras škotas jau nuo seno nenešioja.
