As expected, the obvious double-standard inverse scenario doesn't seem to work. I think it's because it seems this bank thinks that men, generally, cannot be trusted around women they deem uncommonly attractive---to the extent that instead of addressing specific men and their behaviour they go to the source, to one person. I think their move reflects more negatively on men than it does women.
