Strict dress code from my dad

For a lot of context: my mother and my father are split up, i switch houses a lot, and i hate my dads house. When i was a little girl i used to wear tanktops, dresses, shorts, nylons, etc. like any normal girl would wear. Eventualy as i grew a little older i stopped liking dresses and tank tops because i didnt like the way they felt, the way they looked, etc. Now that im older im exploring clothing again (me being a 15, almost 16 year old girl) and im finding out that im liking more scene core, y2k scene (if that is a thing, I think) grunge, and a couple of other styles. My dad however not only is a Christian, but he is also a person who hates anything that isnt normal, examples would be him not liking "emo people" as he likes to call them (meaning he hates goth people bc thats what he thinks the definition of emo is) he despises anything lgbtq+, and anything that somehow goes up against his very religious Christianity. Now a couple of weeks ago i wore a skirt that i got from hot topic with my friends, it was slightly past my finger tips as long as it didnt ride up, and i wore nylons underneath them, so i thought to myself "im sure its fine, its probably the longest skirt i have and i have nylons under it so it shouldent be bad right?" WRONG. when i get off of the bus that went to my dads house i get scolded by my absulutly chaotic christain grandma. (were gonna call her lou.) Lou gets mad at me and says its too short. And i brush it off bc i was sitting down and i didnt have a chance to pull it back down. Continuing till my dad comes home from work i pulled it back down bc i got up and showed it to him. I thought it was fine bc he didnt say anything about it. I go on not thinking about it till today bc i wore nylons again with some shorts, it being a little cold outside, plus my really long socks. No one says anything untill tonight, after we get out of church, we fo to the store and i had my sock slightly pulled down, my dad sees when i get out of the car and he tells me in a really annoyed and angry tone, pull your sock back up. ,e being a little scared i get more confused and nervous bc hes mad at me, so i pull it up and he tells me, "yea im ok with you having those socks but i dont wanna be seeing the nylons". I got even more confused bc he seemed more mad about the nylons. So i keep thinking about it till we get home and then i ask him what was wrong and he pulls me asideto talk to me. And bc it was like a 5 minute talk im gonna summarize it. "I dont want you wearing those because it makes you look more seductive. You showing your thighs is adding to it as well bc you can slightly see through your nylons, its like as if your wanting to show your skin and saying hey look at my thighs, i dont want you showing your skin at all, especialy not your thighs. Your shorts or your skirts need to be at least to your knees." So of course im mad bc who now actualy has cute looking clothes (especialy for the style im going for) has knee length shorts and skirts? And im not saying they all look bad but i hate the feeling of my shorts being too close to my knees.


Tltr: my dad dosent want me wearing nylons bc they scream seductive apparently, and my shorts and my skirt has to be knee lengh. (And crop tops are out of the question)
(And to anyone who gets mad at me for this, no i dont have anything against Christians because i grew up as one, but my dads side is the kind of Christian who is very very religous and has their whole world revolved around it.)
If tou read this umm i guess thank you? This is the first time ive used this website so yea.
