It’s not discrimination, it’s public decency.

From Kentucky Student May Sue After Mall Claimed Her Dress Was Too Short for Shopping
According to MyFOXBoston, the guard informed her that several female patrons had complained that she was disrupting their shopping experience because their husbands were “checking her out.”
“He made me turn all the way around while he stared me up and down,” she told the Register “The only thing he said was that other people didn’t like the way I looked, so he wanted me to leave.”
Clem’s sister Kendra told the Register that while the dress was short, it was not exposing any of her “private body parts.”
While Clem has not yet filed suit against any entity, she has hired local defense attorney Wes Browne to represent her in a possible case, the Register said.
“We’re in the beginning stages and are reviewing her legal options,” Browne said.
In the meantime however, Clem said she will be using her experience as a way to raise awareness about discrimination.
“I want to speak for everybody else who has been discriminated against but has never said anything,” she told the Register. “I want them to apologize and let them know that in this day and age, a woman has a right to wear what she wants.”
If you make a choice, and people tell you they don’t agree with it, it’s not discrimination. If you want to wear a dress that shows off your good ‘n’ plenty, then go to a strip club. I’m not entirely convinced that lil’ miss streetwalker wasn’t “exposting any of her private body parts.” When you wear a mini-skirt are your private parts even private anymore? How many of us have been on an escalator behind someone in one of these things, only to look up and discover that the wearer dyes her hair?
If you wear a dress like this, you’re asking for one thing. If you’re not in a place that encourages advertisement for such (no, I’m not saying that the modern-day shopping experience is exactly family-friendly), then don’t get torked when they ask you to leave and not come back until the tuna boat has returned to port.
