So apparently now random male airline workers are also authorized to tell women what they can and can't wear: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/braun/20070905-9999-1m5braun.html . A girl was almost kicked off her flight to Tucson, AZ, for wearing a white miniskirt. Welcome to the Middle East.
Aww, poor airline workers, all distracted by women's clothes because, as we know, men are just brainless sex fiends who can't control themselves with beautiful women around.
This is absolutely horrifying and simply outrages me. It is plain and obvious sex-based discrimination and - I would even go so far as to say - harassment. Her skirt was NOT obscene; with her legs crossed, you couldn't see a thing. Even if her skirt was obscene, NO ONE would be able to see it while she was SITTING DOWN on the plane. Her top was more than modest. I plan to write to this woman to encourage her to file charges. Is this not completely outrageous?
