‘Just got kicked out of my gym, because my clothes were too ‘revealing’ (see photo) and were confusing the men in the gym. What century are we in again? So sad,’ she wrote on Twitter. She also attached a photo of her outfit to this message.

A blatant act of sexism

On the day in question, Marnie was wearing black leggings and a black crop top that showed her bellybutton. Nothing shocking. Because of this, we can say Marnie was a victim of day-to-day sexism. Many internet users and media sources have been reporting on what happened

In an interview with Metro UK, she explains further.

‘They told me that guys were not allowed to wear tank tops either, but every time I ever went there, there were guys in tank tops who weren’t ever asked to leave.’

Proof that there is still lots of progress to be made…
