Woman Kept Off American Airlines Plane For Allegedly Offensive Shirt
An unidentified woman claims that she missed her American Airlines flight because staff found her choice of clothing offensive, according to the blog RH Reality Check.
That's because it bore the statement: "If I wanted the government in my womb, I'd f--k a senator." The slogan first appeared on a sign at a rally in Oklahoma in February. Oklahoma Sen. Judy McIntyre (D) famously posed with the sign, telling The Huffington Post, "I saw a sea of signs that caught my eye, but this one in particular -- I loved its offensive language, because it's just as offensive for Republicans of Oklahoma to do what they're doing as it relates to women's bodies. I don't apologize for it."

Yes it's offensive to some, and yes the airline is within their rights to refuse service, and yes I wouldn't want to have to explain it to my sons, but still, it's a pretty damn good dig.

Re: Offensive T-Shirt
While I agree with the sentiment, I as well object to the language. But if banishment were the FIRST move of airline staff, they were WRONG. The FIRST action should have been to ask her to cover it up, likely with another T-shirt or by going into the lav and turning it inside out. Only kick her off if she refuses.

Well, given all the chicks running around in Brandi Chastain sports bras nowadays, I wouldn't put it past her.

Re: Offensive T-Shirt
If it were up to me it wouldn't be like it is but as it is if you have certain words written it causes problems. In this case the word is the "F" word. I don't know why it is that you can say "copulate" and everything is fine but if you say the "F" word it isn't. But that's the way it is.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
