"Subsequent work has provided converging evidence on the influence of sex ratios on the sexual economy. In two studies of women's clothing fashions spanning 1885 to 1976, N. Barber (1999) found that skirt length covaried with the sex ratio, such that women wore shorter skirts when there were fewer men. Short skirts were also linked to high divorce rates (which also indicate higher female competition for men). Wearing short skirts is analogous to advertising one's wares, as a way of stimulating demand for one's product. "

Hahahaha that would explain why at my al girls high school, skirts rode up to barely covering a girl's butt and they had to install strict laws which allowed teachers to walk around with note cards and press them up against girls' knees- if the skirt was shorter than the index card the girl would get detention.
