Is that really justifiable cause for offense? If she wants to show her ass a little, why should anyone who's not her care?

But surely this would become self-regulating - i.e. most people wouldn't do this BECAUSE of the lack of respect it might incur.
If they're too dumb to get it, I doubt they've got that much upstairs anyway.
I understand your point about the attitudes that make dressing however you like a problem - I guess I just don't see those attitudes as being worthy of validation, when they say more about the pissy jobsworth co-worker with a throbbing temple-vein than they do about the woman with her thong showing.
