“She got a store brand cereal bag full of Oxy under that skin tight Kid Rock tour shirt!

Meanwhile, quite a few (white, middle-aged men) are thinking, "huh, these people are on to something. Sure, they're brown, but still. Not a bad idea"

Excuse me while I scream in helpless rage at the injustice of this shit. 

When flying became the basic equivalent of riding the bus. Expecting people to dress up is some classist bullshit.

Well, when people actually dressed up for flights, seats were 4 inches wider and rows were 8 inches deeper.  And they served food.

What idiot came up with the idea to wear nice clothes on a cramped, uncomfortable flight? That never made sense to me. People are starting to ignore things that don’t make sense, I’ve noticed.

Modern day Kansas, based on personal experience. 

If she was wearing a thong bikini here, you might actually have a point. As it is, no. 

I work at an airport and I see A LOT of female passengers who were revealing clothing, especially in the summer. Bare midriff tops and booty shorts seem to predominate, and I have to make it a point not to look to long.

It’s to make a point. That flying while black is just like driving while black, BBQing while black, entering the apartment complex where you live while black, and so forth. You can be any number of things and still catch racist bullshit from people who hate you for your success.

A speedo is very different than this.

Do you know this? Yes.

Are you making a slippery slope fallacy to cover up your racist/sexist comment? Big yes. 

You’re making an argument no one is making. No one would argue that a speedo does not violate the dress code, even in its current ambiguous form. What the woman here was wearing, which is the equivalent of a pair of shorts and a halter top, also likely does not violate the dress code in any way. Unless you’re saying…

“Sir, this woman had to wear a blanket on the way back from the Caribbean!”

United be like, “amateurs”...

In my life, I’ve only seen someone questioned about their choice of wardrobe one time. I’ve seen a lot of people fly wearing a lot less than this woman.

I swear, some people on this planet are just too sensitive. Oh no, some skin!!! Think of the children!!!

Unless something is actually showing, companies need to lay the fuck off.  Seriously, you’re on an airplane, not at Ruth’s Chris steakhouse.  

If any of my “favorites” gets swept up in all of this, so be it; I hope they go down hard. I have yet to hear anything like that on the other side of the aisle, so let’s not “good people on both sides” this disgusting state of affairs.

Anecdotally, that may not be the case. Democratic PolitiTwitter seems to be coming down squarely on the side of letting the chips fall where they may and if Bill Clinton gets swept up, so be it. The wording of some of it is awkward, as in Christine Pelosi stating that “some of our favorites may be implicated” and…
