BLAME WOMEN WITH ‘CLEAVAGE SO DEEP [IT’S] DOWN TO THE FLOOR,’ FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT, CONGRESSWOMAN SAYS

A Democratic congresswoman told a group of colleagues Wednesday that she believed some female lawmakers and aides invite sexual harassment by wearing revealing clothing.

“I saw a member yesterday with her cleavage so deep it was down to the floor,” said Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, sources told Politico. “And what I’ve seen … it’s really an invitation.” Kaptur was in a closed-door Democratic caucus meeting intended to address sexual harassment issues when she made the comments.

Kaptur went on to suggest that women should consider adopting military-style uniforms in order to dismay potential harassers. “Maybe I’ll get booed for saying this, but many companies and the military [have] a dress code,” she said. “I have been appalled at some of the dress of… members and staff. Men have to wear ties and suits.”
