Summary: Two girls who boarded a flight were barred for wearing leggings on a United Plane. Shannon Watts said on twitter, "since when does @united police women's clothing?" United responded that it was their 5th rule in the passage's contract that passengers should not be barefoot and be properly dressed. The policy doesn't specifically address legging so can confuse passengers. Social Media exploded Sunday, passengers said they'll take their business and leggings elsewhere.
Anyalsis/Synthesis: I think this is crazy when I was on a Southwest Flight last week I wore leggings there and back. They are a very comfortable option especially if you want to sleep, jeans or a dress are not a comfortable resulting in a not as pleasant flight experience. I don't think airline should choose what women can and can not wear. This is similar to the 20s when flappers cut there hair, raised the dresses, and danced. Women should be able to wear what they want on a plan especially something as common as yoga pants.

This is gross! I wear legging almost everytime so I'm comfortable. Totally unfair
ReplyDeleteLeggings are great and comfortable as heck, and instead of treating women like a lower class that must conform so as to accommodate cis straight men, how about we teach dudes not to act like depraved perverts towards women?
ReplyDeletewow, totally shocking. Its crazy how many people reacted to this, the airlines should notice the reaction!its unfair how they treated these two, specially since it isnt strictly written clearly.
