Your Bulge Is Too Sexy For The Pool
A 29-year-old “body builder” is crying sexism after a pair of revealing swim trunks got him kicked out of Novi Lifetime Fitness in Novi, Michigan on Saturday night.
He says that was sexist.
“The lifeguard comes up to me and he says, ‘You need to change into something more appropriate, that is not appropriate,'” Cieslowski says. He was wearing what he says is a “square-cut speedo,” and “[the lifeguard was] talking about the bulge. That’s usually people’s problem with the speedo, is the bulge,” he says.
Cieslowski says he has worn the speedo at the gym before and no one ever said anything about it, but apparently several gym-goers complained to staff members Saturday night.
“He says, ‘We can all see it.’ And I said, ‘Well then stop staring. No one’s making you look at it,'” says Cieslowski. He says when he stood his ground and defended himself the employee threatened to call the police, so Cieslowski left.
“I can say the same thing about all the women around this pool in their bikinis and their one-pieces, showing off every nook and cranny of their body leaving nothing to the imagination but their skin color. … I’m not allowed to be myself and wear what I want to wear and it’s ridiculous, and it’s incredibly sexist,” he believes.
