The point is that no one in the world outside of high school uses the term "going stag", except as a joke. It's a dead piece of slang. But still used unironically in high school. High school is just an anachronism-loaded time.

This has to be one of the silliest things I have ever heard of. There are plenty of reasons that high school girls don't have dates for dances. If they are brave enough to go anyway, Bravo to them! This policy sends them all back to the middle ages.
