Woman Tossed off of Airline Flight for Wearing Revealing Clothing (Video)

2007-09-07

This CNN report details the controversy over Southwest Airlines temporarily tossing 23-year-old Kyla Ebbert off of a flight because of her (allegedly) excessively revealing miniskirt.

(I include the picture here merely so readers can judge for themselves whether the clothing was inappropriate or not–I know that none of my readers could ever have any interest in looking at the picture except to evaluate the propriety of Southwest’s actions).

The young woman, who is also a Hooters waitress, wanted the airline to apologize (which I think is appropriate), but the airline didn’t, so now she’s thinking of suing. Paging Gloria Allred, Paging Gloria Allred…

Ann Friedman of www.Feministing.com also makes an appearance on the CNN clip, saying that people only get worked up when a woman is semi-unclothed, not a man. We’re told that the airline was responding to a complaint from a passenger, but we’re not told whether the complainant was a man or a woman. I suspect it was a woman.

    Wow. A mom races a train and kills two children, yet CNN focuses on the rights of a women to show more of her body in public.

    I do not wonder why ratings are heading south for television.

    Television? Who watches that crap anymore?

    Anyway, I also believe it was another woman. Most likely a very jealous woman.

    I and I’m certain most men, would not be offended by a woman dressed like a Hooters hooker. In fact, it’s really free entertainment. At least for men.

    Airlines must believe they are the conscience of the nation. What an ego…

    Do not allow men to sit next to kids as they MAY be in danger while women are the greater abusers of children…

    Can their hypocrisy gain any greater level…

    And of course they have to ask some feminist bitch for it’s irrelevant comment…

    Wow…what a tv channel that is…right up there with all the latest crap and drivel…

    Due to our incredibly litigious society companies that do business with the public are more and more having to take extreme measures to make sure that nobody gets offended.

    If nothing else the stewardesses of SW may have thought they were doing themselves a favor against being sued. Either by somebody upset with this girls appearance, OR the much more likely occurrence that this girl may have sued SW because somebody was making comments or ogling her.

    The thing is this screen-shot was taken at a point in the story where they said she agreed to pull down the skirt–so I can’t tell you if she was dressed in a salacious manner or not. But, quite frankly I’m sick of seeing women dressed up like vegas whores where there are young children present. I think anything more than mid-thigh is pushing it where children are present.

    What’s funny is the feminist take on this. I remember reading some kind of opinion article from a small newspaper that was linked on an MRA website.

    Basically the story (as I remember) is that at a little league game a woman showed up with no bra and a loose white cotton tank top and had DD sized mammary glands. The gist of the article is that many parents were shocked and wanted her to leave. Below the article was a comments section. I COULDN’T COUNT the huge number of feminists posting on this board stating that this woman was only expressing her femininity.

    What’s both absurd and insane to me is how these feminists want to straddle the fence and support this kind of openly public lewd behavior (by women) (at a children’s event no less!), but then want all kinds of special legal protections against being ogled or “made to feel uncomfortable” (by men at least).

    What strikes me as a devastating one-two punch in the feminists arsenal against men is this:
    The change in society (largely being driven by men) that there is no behavior too slutty for women (whether you’re talking about girl on girl porn or level of dress in public or public lewdness) and the feminist driven change in society to blindly accept that women are too stupid to take responsibility for their own actions. (I think girl on girl porn is nasty! It’s homosexuality! There’s nothing hot about it at all! Two les.bos together is just as nasty as two f.ags!)

    You can see this one-two punch at work in (as an example) the Kobe Bryant rape case. This case would NEVER have gone to trial in the 50′s, 60′s, and maybe even 70′s. Why? Because at those times the legal arena wasn’t (yet) insane with these two driving forces (women can no standards of decency, and don’t have any accountability).

    In those times if a woman was seen flirting with a man, and going back to his room she would have been seen as “not to be a GOOD girl” and obviously pursuing a sexual rendezvous.

    Same thing with the stripper involved with the Duke 3. In the 50′s a stripper would have had a nearly impossible time getting a rape case proven.

    By having their tongues out and cheering this type of behavior (even when children are present), men are only assisting in feminists adding nooses around their own necks. Modesty has a place in society. When modesty is gone, that is when the barbarians enter the city of our mind and never leave.

    Just because it’s HOT doesn’t mean it’s right, or healthy. Maybe it’s time for men to start holding themselves to a slightly more meaningful compass than “that’s so hot!”

    Who was the rap star that made news last week suggesting that FATHERS should keep their daughters from pole dancing? Imagine a father today having the ability to control his daughter’s behavior.

    A tabloid news broadcast suggested that pole dancing was the newest female exercise craze. They had a young woman suggest that it is good for women’s mental health to express their “sluttiness.”

    Clearly this bimbo was just expressing her women’s right to express her “slutiness.” Did Southwest check for underwear under the mini-skirt?

    personally, i would like to see a real & legit. study of just who is filing all of these lawsuits. men? women? married men? married women? minorities? whites? and so forth. out sick the other day and all day long every commercial was one lawyer after another telling the audience (mostly ???) how they might be a victim and entitled to vast damages (read free ride/$$$).

    gosh, what an honorable…. “profession”?

    wasn’t Hooters the restaurant that sued (and won) to be allowed to have female- only servers? yeah, i go there too. but it’s the principle of the thing dumb-a**.

    anybody want to bet which group named above is the primary party to the most law siuts in your country?
