Oppression BY ......

Religion, leads to repression, which leads to obsession, which leads to .....

THIS story.
It seems a college student, wearing "a white denim miniskirt, high-heel sandals, and a turquoise summer sweater over a tank top over a bra, ( see picture here), was asked to leave a flight on Southwest airlines for being inappropriately dressed. (Again see photo or description above).
She was eventually allowed to resume her flight unmolested (pun intended).

The question in my mind is this: Did someones "faith" however misguided, play a role here? Was their obvious sexual repression religiously inspired? This was a man who claimed her outfit was offensive, not a jealous woman. I mean what was his problem? Is he gay? Nah, I doubt it. If he were gay he probably would have complimented her and asked where she bought it. So he wasnt gay, & he wasnt a woman so where are we?
A call (supposedly) placed to Southwest Air inquiring if a passenger would be permitted to fly wearing a bikini was answered with a yes as long as all the appropriate areas are covered. So where did this confrontation arise from?
Probably another passenger complained and caused all this, but why? what was that persons problem? All the above possibilities still apply, but where again does that leave us? It leaves us unfortunately right back to a person oppressed by religion.
Disagree?  Fine, what then are your thoughts?
