All the women in my office are muslims except for one 60-year-old. You don't even get to see their hair
Don't tell me - none of them were Muslims, until they saw you leering.

The thing is, it's all down to how you perceive the display on... er... display. In our society the naked body is associated with sexual activity. Breasts and buttocks in particular are seen as parts of the body that have the sole purpose of providing fantasy fodder. When an ample cleavage is visible, what impulse is it that draws the gaze? If everyone wandered around naked all the time we wouldn't be nearly as bothered by boobs.
My own approach on approaching such a person is, on the approach, to acknowledge the fact that there is an enormous cleavage by thinking (NOT saying out loud) "Wow, that's an enormous cleavage", getting a good eyeful while far enough away that the possessor of said cleavage can't tell exactly where I'm looking (made easier by having a prosthetic eye, I'll admit), and then spending the rest of the conversation deliberately looking only at her face because I've already satisfied the primitive part of the brain that insists on contemplating cleavage.
Anyone who is comfortable enough with herself to show off her assets must surely be expecting people to notice. It's still rude to stare, though. So look, take note, and move on. You are a grown human being possessed of free will and surely at least a modicum of self control. Try counting her eyelashes or something.
I thought Mr BG's story was lovely, by the way. It would have made my day, too.

The sight causes male neck muscles to weaken, so the head falls forward and aligns the eyes with the display. In extreme cases, jaw muscles also weaken, the jaw can hang loose, and the unfortunate victim may also start to salivate.

I avoid these uncomfortable situations by simply not presuming that I have the right to tell my co-workers how to dress, personally.

p.s. Have ever tried spellcheck?
On a forum? No.
It’s a forum, a cycling one at that not an English literature one. Had I known that my work was being marked I may have taken more care.
Superiority and sarcasm were last week’s topics of choice, it’s boobs and pope bashing this week........

This thread is no good without pictures, so we can judge for ourselves
what is proper and what is not.

I don't think it's me. They don't even take their headscarves off when they go spinning

I just wadded through 3 pages of nonsense and this was the best photo that anyone could come up with. I am truly disappointed.

Git! I was seriously reading all the responses and that one took me by surprise - write off one keyboard.

No one said anything about Mooobs!
Ironic, first topless picture is on page 3!

Ah, the Pedants Revolt defence!
I wasn't being sarcastic although superiority I'll fess up to
