Humans with medium/large breasts are routinely punished for the bodies they are born with.
Clothes that look great on us and our fabulous breasts are considered lewd, obscene, and offensive.
Meanwhile women with small breasts are considered stylish and even elegant. https://twitter.com/UziSuzy/status/1313571224790986752

I am one of 5 daughters. I come from a family of large breasted women. I grew up thinking my breasts were small because I didn't develop until maybe junior/senior year of high school.
That meant that I didn't deal with this oversexualization of my body until I was a legal adult

Believe me, no one in the world will ever love my breasts as much as I do, but a little after I turned 21 (I'm now 25) they became a major source of anxiety for me.
Clothes that I love, that look great on me, I covered up with sweaters or would never leave my closet.

I realized that it didn't matter what I did or didn't do, people were always going to sexualize me and my actions based on my breasts.
It has been a huge struggle for me and I'm only a DD. I cannot imagine what it is like for other folks with much larger breasts.

So I've lived my life in tent-like clothes and have in the past couple of years tried to have enough confidence as I possibly can to dress the way I would like to dress regardless of how others' judgement makes me feel.
If I had built up my confidence to wear that cute outfit on the plane and they did that to me.....
I would've opened my packed suitcase on the middle of the floor, found another shirt and put it over my cute halter in shame and in tears.
Because that's what they want. Shame.

Everyone criticizing this woman do *not* get it.
We are made to feel shame about our breasts any time they are even remotely visible. Meanwhile women who lack curves wear cute clothes all the time.
I have no butt and when I wear tiny shorts I am not shamed like my sister is.

Billy Eilish made a short film about her baggy clothes and when I saw it I broke down sobbing because the shame I had been feeling my own body had never been articulated so beautifully.
It broke my heart that she already knew that shame

People can think this thread is dramatic, they can criticize this woman for her clothing choices but they're wrong.
Our society shames women for existing in their own bodies.
These "policies" are 100% enforced arbitrarily and the recipients will always be women with curves.

I love @SouthwestAir and I hate pretty much every other airline. I only fly SW and folks who know me, know how much I will talk about it if it's brought up.
What Southwest did to this woman was demeaning and horrible and I am definitely reevaluating my loyalty to the airline.
