Well, now im just super confused because a lot of commentors are going on about Femenazis, but I can't see why. The article on Jez wasn't supportive of this rule at all.
I can see why the airlines would implement this rule. Covering your ass does take priority over everything else, and they do try to resolve these issues when people book. They dont try hard enough if this is happening though. However, if you do this to me, you better kiss my ass so hard that your lip print is permanent. I want a standing ovation from the entire plane for my sacrifice. I wanted to be treated as a king for the trip. Or just get me liquored up enough that I dont care about the peoples accusing glares.
