'I doubt you'll be able to board your flight dressed like that': Woman claims she was 'slut-shamed' by airline

"I wasn't treating the domestic airport terminal like a strip club."

news.yahoo.com

So two Jetstar female employees told a woman waiting in Sydney Airport that she can't share a seat with her boyfriend and she wouldn't allowed to board dressed like that. And oh, she will have wait in another area since she can't sit in the boarding gate.

From looking at her pictures, I don't think that she was dressed in a manner warranting the slut shaming or did anything wrong with sitting on her boyfriend's lap. What is up with this slut shaming of young women in public, who are not dressed in any provocative clothes?

How is she a snowflake loser? She has every right to complain about the verbal abused the women gave her.

Nothing in that article counts as verbal abuse

"They said I looked like a slut. I am a slut and I dress like a slut but, they have NO right to say it to my face."

How's that, Billy?

In sydney? Weird. If anything Australians tend to be way more open about sex and nudity than in the US.

I'm guessing the the two employees are not Australians? Or if they are, they are members of some sect that frowns on anything they consider to be immodest dress

Theres sitting on someones lap because theres no seats and theres a different sort of "sitting on someones lap" which involves the straddling mentioned in the article. Ones ok in a crowded airport lounge and one isn't.

Kind of agree, these short stories tend to be presented differently that what happened.
I highly doubt someone from the airline was happy to bring this up to two customers.

The airlines have a huge problem, Ive been saying this for years. They need to be more accepting of sluts.

Agreed. Slut shaming is certainly wrong.

But depending on the context, being dressed like that and sitting on your boyfriend's lap can also be "wrong."

I would have that woman that some four hundred pound female ox wearing the same thing. So, I guess if you are going to ban on wardrobe then imagine the consequences of not.

Honestly she looks like she is dressed in pajamas. There is no law against that but seriously, you're not sitting on your couch at home alone, you're out in public, how about making an effort to look presentable?

We all need to be more accepting of sluts and I'll go first. I have a fifth of bourbon and some microwave popcorn, sluts are welcome to come over and share it. No guys no matter how slutty you are. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
