The woman was right; the airline was wrong.

Nope. Airlines have the right to refuse service to anyone who, in their
judgment, is inappropriately dressed, intoxicated or otherwise in
violation
of their policies. The problem here was not the images. It was the
"word".
Good for them! The woman can complain all she wants but airlines can set
their own standards.

Airline? Standards? Surely you jest. On my flight back from Hawai'i to San
Francisco, two rows in front of me, there was a couple incapable of
controlling their crying, screaming brats. The two kids whined all the way
back to the mainland, for four and a half hours. without letup. I asked
one of the flight attendants to ask the couple to either control their
brats or to move them to a less-occupied part of the plane. She refused.

At least 20 other passengers complained. Those brats were more offense
than anyone's shirt.

I've got a topper for you. Just after takeoff from Las Vegas to Atlanta the
woman behind me thru up all over the back of my seat. Fortunately it didn't
reach me but the smell was horrible. As soon as the flight attendant was
free I asked her to talk to the (copilot flight engineer) and turn up the
exchange for the air conditioning system to get the smell out of the cabin
as I and I'm sure others were feeling queasy. She explained that there was
no air exchange from outside air for the entire 5 hour trip. I bit my
tongue, thought about how to put it so I wouldn't embarrass her and couldn't
think of a way to explain that we were all going to die in about 40 minutes
as that's all the oxygen the cabin had. sigh Needless to say I'm still
alive.
