Woman claims Southwest wouldn't let her board plane because of her cleavage: report
NY Daily News ^ | 6/18/12 | Philip Caulfield

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.

When a woman is busty its harder to cover up than you think. However, the problems is yours not hers, having large breasts is not a reason to refuse service.

Sort of like Bill OReilly’s condemnation of the media’s programming sexual content on his programs mon-thurs and on his fridays programs has Playboy bunnies on his show.

Th average man may be able to extend his life 4-5 years, but a married man could shorten his life significantly.

The first sign that I was getting cantankerous was in my late 30’s. If I saw a woman on the beach in a very revealing bikini and large breasts, as she walked by I’d say “Nice t*ts”, figuring it would offend them and I could tell them that if they don’t want people noticing and commenting maybe they should put them away. Turned out it wasn’t such a hot idea as they LIKED the attention. And seeing how I was married I stopped the practice almost immediately.

I learned something about women and their perception of their plumbs/melons that summer. Seriously.

This broad would not even come close to rating a place in People of Wal-Mart.

 

Now these two gays - er, I mean guys. No - I was right the first time...

These pervs should be put on the permanent no-fly list.

Airplane, bus, train, or city street - doesn’t matter one bit. Nobody wants to see any more fattie flesh than they absolutely have to.

She should look in the mirror every morning and ask: how did I let myself go?

A little well-deserved shame never hurt anyone. One could argue that it’s essential for the proper functioning of society.

Women who tell men “Don’t look” don’t have a clue about normal male human nature. Sure, men shouldn’t stare and drool like a dog, but a non-gay male is at least going to be more or less distracted by female anatomy.
.
It’s like a man telling a woman not to be affected by her hormones when they go crazy every month. Some things just are; the issue is recognizing it and how you deal with it.

Evening gowns, cocktail dresses, pajamas (or what passes in some homes for such) to hooker wear. Shorts that are shorter than some swimwear, bare midriffs, muffin tops, feathered hair, to burquas.

Walmart? /sarc

Well, it’s certainly not an enticing view. But, I have seen many people dressed much more inappropriately on planes. She should have just buttoned up her shirt, but she’s likely a drama queen, and that’s the only coronation she’ll likely ever get.
But, I don’t know her; she could be a wonderful person.
Anyway, I believe, based on the evidence presented, that SW was wrong. No one, or very few, would look at that cleavage twice. I bet if she were a babe SW would have let her fly, and upgraded her to first class.
In SW’s defense, I would note that what’s seen cannot be unseen (please no Helen Thomas pics). Maybe, SW was worried about potential emotional distress claims.

I take it that in keeping with our transportation theme, these lovelies are hostesses on the SBB: Schweizerisches Bundes Bahn.

They know..I work with 12-15 women...you ought to hear how they talk about men they see out on the street..women look at men just as lustfully as we do them.

They want you to think they don't look at men that way...
