This is Huntsville, after all. The entire city is built around missile defense and Nazi scientists. Otherwise, it would just be another small town in Alabama.
Not wanting what I wear dictated to me by a corporation is “entitlement”? Seriously? It’s my body. I’ll do with as I please. I’ll thank you to take your condescension elsewhere please.
Which doesn’t match with the description that @anon67050589 mentions above. The photo shows something that looks more like rafting or boating gear (given the life-jackets) not swimming. It’s a nice publicity still from a single activity, but the dress code notes that for swimming girls in 2 piece bathing suits will have to wear a T-shirt whereas girls in more “conservative” one pieces with need only don shorts and that boys can wear bog-stardard trunks meant for swimming (board shorts are only recommended). That’s a pretty big double standard. And a cotton T-shirt and shorts not designed for swimming add a LOT of weight when wet and get moe inappropriately clingy.
I would have more sympathy for the organizers if it were “activity-appropriate attire” because in the activity pictured, T-shirt and shorts is appropriate for the simple fact that life-jackets can chafe. But that’s not what it says.
That’s a nice place to be coming from, but not an entirely realistic one.
For example:
Assuming this is true, it’s true because of traditions rooted in sexism. If women have to go through a whole big rigmarole just to look presentable, and their clothes have to match just so, but nobody cares much what men wear, then that’s likely the cause of the problem.
It’s not that women have more options, but rather that women’s fashion is far more involved than men’s, and the reasons for this are not exactly egalitarian in nature.
If children wearing leggings are acceptable for an airport terminal (and they are), they should be acceptable for an airplane. There is nothing “entitled” about that logic. What’s entitled is thinking little girls need to adhere to a special dress code because of the provenance of their plane tickets.
It’s just like the hipster racist dress code I see in places. Curiously, the only clothes that are against the dress code are the ones that black people wear more than white people. But it’s technically not a racist dress code because white people can wear Fubu too hurr durr.
Pretty sure a utilikilt uses a different scale. Scots are on the Metric system for one.
I am trying to think of something funny to say about people who wear utilikilts, but if it falls flat I don’t want like a giant log thrown through my window…
Well, I am currently trying to get this exact same ticket, and probe UAs policies. I know every trick in the book, so I’ll get through. Hell, I could dress like borat.
And a friend just Skyped me that I’m stubborn. I countered with Persistent. …It may have reinforced his point.
