Southwest Airlines was forced to apologize to a woman who was told she couldn't board her flight because her cleavage was "inappropriate."
Jezebel reports that the woman, Avital she only gave her first name was boarding a 6 a.m. flight from Las Vegas to New York on June 5 when a ticket agent remarked that she couldn't fly unless she covered her breasts.
Clad in a comfy cotton dress, a baggy flannel shirt and bright scarf, Avital ignored the warning and marched aboard anyway.
...
Avital slammed the Southwest for "slut shaming," and said a man on her flight had on a provocative piece of clothing, but wasn't hassled.

If they are displaying them, it was obvious they want me to look. Who am I to disappoint them?
Or, maybe it's just a trap...

Should have seen the chinese B%&Tch at the terminal in Hong Kong announcing my flight to Saigon.
She announced 1st class to board now and on the mic she told one couple flying economy that if they had studied English they would be able to undertand that their ticket is for economy and ONLY first class are boarding at this time. The couple was British. LOL

***...and said a man on her flight had on a provocative piece of clothing, but wasn't hassled.***
Standard fallback when your position doesn't have a leg to stand on...claim sexism.
BTW, my understanding is that airlines reserve the right (and have always had that right) to deny bording to anyone for whatever reason they deem appropriate.

"Much less disgusting than butt cleavage, by far."
Indeed and if the picture is accurate, Southwest was way out of line.

Gross. Is basic dignity a thing of the past? You have to ask? Decency and modesty in dress are definately passe. More's the pity.
BTW...looks to me like the rope's there to keep them from sagging to her belly button.

Is basic dignity a thing of the past? She needs to cover up, hit the treadmill, and quit reading Jezebel. Please. People wear sweatpants, pajama bottoms, tank tops, shorts, flip flops, etc., etc. on airplanes these days. This top isn't all that bad at all, as far as teats are concerned.

I’m expecting the Slut Walks to tun into Slut Flys any day now!
I would not want to be on plane when the NAGs get their slut on in a confined space like that!
