Southwest Fascist Patrol: Women Deemed too Hot to Fly

I get that a company can draw the line at who it wants to serve. What I don't get is why they get to lecture their bullshit afterwards.

BTW Southwest, suffrage happened for many reasons in the USA 1920. And one of those reasons was not so you can preach "family values" on your flying tin cans.

Setara Qassim says it was not her idea that 100 degree day she flew back from Las Vegas on Southwest Airlines.

Setara says "the flight attendant came up to me and asked me if I had a sweater and I said no because why would I pack a sweater in the heat. So, I asked her why and she said I need to cover up."

Ebbert, a Mesa College student and Hooters waitress, was allowed to stay on the plane, but only after she put up a fight and, she says, was lectured on how to dress properly.

[...]

Southwest explained its treatment of Ebbert in a letter to her mother, saying it could remove any passenger “whose clothing is lewd, obscene or patently offensive” to ensure the comfort of children and “adults with heightened sensitivities.”
