All airlines (and trains, buses, public buildings etc.) should have published dress codes, because they do not this case seems arbitrary. Just depending on peoples "good taste" gave us rap music, leisure suites, men in speedos, and the Hillary pants suite - clearly we must have standards. Arbitrary rules with arbitrary enforcement a bad recipe, but there is probably more to the story than is reported.

Well, you get the point. There’s a thing called common sense, and posting rules/warnings for every possible situation is simply ridiculous. What are you going to do? Set up a system of crotch measurements to determine if the genitalia exposure limit is exceeded?
Yes, the price of freedom includes things that may be distasteful to you.
I’m sure you’ll either get over it or stay indoors listening to your victrola.
