I'm assuming you don't work in STEM since you find this a huge issue - but in STEM fields a lot of the time there isn't a corporate environment, people are allowed to wear what they want an express themselves - nerdy and zany t shirts etc. Just because suits and ties are workplace attire in some sectors of society does not mean they are in all sectors of work.
I spent many years working for CH2M HILL, an international engineering and construction firm. We built the 2012 Olympic site in England, de-salination plants in Dubai, and literally thousands of other engineering and construction jobs. I regularly worked on multi-million dollar projects (I generally worked on water treatment, transport, and geohydrology contracts) with huge numbers of scientists and engineers. And that shirt wouldn't have flown at any of our job sites.
I am now essentially retired from there and decided to get into education. I teach at a STEM high school that works primarily with Aerospace companies. Over the summer we visited Scaled Composites and toured one of the WhiteKnight and SpaceShipTwo build hangers. The staff were all in either Scaled Composites or Virgin Galactic polos and I assume that the pin-up shirt would have not been okay there either.
Enough resume?
Perhaps in smaller, less visible STEM jobs, it would pass by, but no place I have ever worked would let someone in that shirt anywhere near an international news interview where they would be representing the company.
Besides which, ignoring all of my personal experience actually strengthens the argument against the shirt. Though it doesn't agree with my experience, you seem to be saying, "In STEM fields, it is common for scantily dressed women to be used a decoration/fashion on clothing in the workplace." Which actually supports the idea that STEM fields are less welcoming towards women. But again, I have never seen anyone at any of the STEM workplaces I have worked at wear anything like that at work.
