So the hot item in the quirky news arena this week has been women who have been asked to deboard Southwest Airlines flights because of provocative outfits. See the stories here and here. Now personally, I think there’s a time and a place for tastefully err….hoeish revealing attire. I don’t know that a plane is the necessarily the place, but I don’t think I would’ve had a problem with it.
What strikes me as a gargantuan joke, on the other hand, is the reaction of one of the young ladies in question.
“I said, ‘What part is it? The shirt? The skirt? Which part?’ And he said the whole thing.”
Ebbert was eventually allowed back on the plane after offering to adjust her sweater but said she was humiliated and embarrassed.
“I felt like everybody was staring at me…”
Now this is something that just generally perplexes me. I mean it’s here written out, but I’ve seen the trend enough in real life. Why, exactly, would a woman who’s walkin around with awwwwllllll the milk out and awwwllllll the cake out, get upset when she notices people looking? Granted, I’ve seen people ogling Muslim women who were covered from head to toe, but I’m sayin. If she flashin headlights, let alone if the brights are on, why is she surprised when dudes freeze in the shine?
This Dave Chappelle bit pretty much explains it. (It’s Dave, so you know it’s not exactly safe for work.)
