Ohh, Southwest Airlines. We all love them don't we? Cheap flights, sarcastic pilots over the intercom...? They offer seemingly friendly service don't they? Well - not if you are female wearing a tank top with anything bigger than an A cup. Apparently, flight attendants on Southwest Airlines have taken it upon themselves to make judgment calls on young women's attire aboard their flights. So much so that they have harassed and humiliated multiple young women on their "inappropriate" and "offensive" attire and almost kicked one of them off her flight. The only response the young woman received when asking which part of her outfit was "offensive" was simply - "all of it." 

 "All of what," exactly? Kyla Ebbert, 23, was the first to receive wide national attention for her incident with Southwest earlier this month. She was told to "cover up" for wearing, what I would say, is a regular mini skirt and for showing the natural amount of cleavage one would see on any woman who has breasts. But apparently, Ebbert is not the only victim. In fact, Setara Quassim and at least one other woman also encountered similar “offensive” humiliation with Southwest flight attendants.  All I have to say is this - Did seeing cleavage serve as the horrid reminder that women have breasts? It is hard to understand what people are so offended by, when in fact, it's these Southwest employee's actions that should be deemed offensive. Anyone?
