United Airlines bars teenage girls in leggings from flight | Roto-Reuters
Two teenage girls wearing leggings were barred from boarding a United Airlines flight on Sunday because they did not meet a dress code for special pass travelers, a company spokesman said amid a furor on social media.
The two girls, who were traveling with a companion, would not have been turned away for wearing leggings had they been paying customers, United spokesman Jonathan Guerin said as the airline responded to the backlash.
Stop right there. You have everything you need. If you are not a dumbass, you may now proceed to the sports section or the comics.
"(The two girls) were instructed that they couldn't board until they corrected their outfit. They were fine with it and completely understood," Guerin said, adding that all three passengers missed the flight. He did not know if they had boarded a later plane or made alternate travel arrangements.
However, if you are a dumbass, you will continue reading and probably agree with some ignorant cow named Shannon. {Chick? Doodle? Seriously, people, get a handle on your kids names before they are born.}
Though the three passengers did not complain about their treatment, another traveler, Shannon Watts, who overheard the discussion touched off a firestorm on social media with a series of tweets describing a policy she suggested was unfairly targeting women and girls.
"This behavior is sexist and sexualizes young girls," Watts said on Twitter. "Not to mention that the families were mortified and inconvenienced."
Holy crap, lady! Can you even remember being a teenage girl???? They WANT to be noticed for their sexuality. That's why teenage boys exist!
