The gym administration almost kicked out the visitor due to the fact that during the workout she was not wearing a shirt. The relevant material is published by the Daily Star.
Julia Maren from Tennessee, USA, shared on social media the story of how she faced "double standards and sexism" in the gym. According to the woman, she was interrupted during the exercise, asked to take out her headphones, and then told that she would have to leave if she refused to wear a shirt. However, the staff did not explain why they found her attire unacceptable.
In her social networks, the heroine of the material shared a photo of the image, which consisted of sports leggings and a top. In the signature for the publication, she cited the statistics of Fitness Magazine:
“Did you know that 65 percent of women actually try to avoid the gym for fear of being judged? Do you understand what this data suggests? Women are by default more selective about what they wear to the gym to avoid criticism and negative comments."
Maren continued to resent, not mentioning the name of the gym:
“So you're telling me that because my waist is three inches (about seven centimeters) bare, I’m not welcome in the gym, but in the meantime, damn it, a man with bare nipples is engaged.” When will we allow women to feel comfortable in the gym and wear whatever is comfortable for them in an already uncomfortable environment? she asked.
The post caused outrage among hundreds of her subscribers.
"Really? I demand a riot! I bet you are not the only one with whom this happened!”,“This is infuriating! I am so offended for you, I am angry because we have to deal with this sexism "," You are very cool. You fight blatant sexism instead of just getting angry and doing nothing. Keep it up!" - they expressed themselves in the comments.
