Dear Fonseca,
I was tossed out of my health club the other day because I was wearing a sports bra and yoga pants. The manager pulled me aside and said several people came up to him and said they were offended by my outfit. I work hard on my body and like showing it off. I don't think there's anything wrong with displaying my stomach. As we were arguing, two guys in their twenties walked by and started laughing. Their bellies were hanging over their shorts. Their stomachs were exposed because their shirts couldn't cover them. I told the manager that they offended me because their stomachs were showing. I told him it's a double standard. He disagreed and said it's two different things. Is it? Why is my outfit unacceptable and theirs wasn't? Someone explain this to me. What do you think? Was I unfairly tossed out? Is the club discriminating against me? Should I have gotten booted? Did I do anything wrong?
