The nice lady is wearing appropriate outerwear for a Summer day and anything inappropriate is in the eye of the beholder.

I didn't see anyone declaring there was a problem with her clothing.
Not what you wear as staff, not what you wear representing an official capacity............. but fine for a private individual on his or her own time.

The problem was supposedly with the reaction of various cretins on ONE social media outlet/forum reacting inappropriately.
Nothing to do with rail preservation, mind you.

Now................. sorry, I should have put this in the first page.

Any of you ever read the comments to Youtube videos that feature scantily clad or revealing women's bodies? Give it a try sometime. This FB thread is tame by comparison.

Try being a conservative in a social media world where the same people who decry sexist comments then turn around and say some of the foulest, meanest and insulting things to conservatives that they can and see no problem with doing that. If a society accepts one kind of insulting and uncivilized behavior how can they condemn another kind and expect to be taken seriously?

People have been, and always will, judge other people. Your voice, hair, the way you walk, clothes, demeanor etc. all are taken into account when someone creates their own first impression of another person. No amount of attempts at social engineering will change that. Just like many of the other things that we as a society had figured out, only to be rejected by these latest generations and now must be learned again, the way we present ourselves does make a difference in how someone is treated by others.

political views are a choice; being a woman ain't

Also more genius posts from the guy who's the reason why C&O 614 won't see steam for decades; the fact you wouldn't want to work in a cab with a female driver but would hire "attractive stewardeses" really goes to show so much about your worldview lmao

anyway; personally you could have just... posted the comments instead of sharing this lady's picture without her permission but at the same time - yeah, this checks out. also, social media doesn't exist in a vacuum - you're still a sexist twit offline
