The 21-year-old claimed she was simply going about her shopping when she started receiving hostile stares and verbal insults from other patrons, which ultimately led to her being expelled from the store by the staff.
“I encountered looks full of prejudice, verbal curses were hurled at me, and in the end, I was ejected from the premises.”
“Can you believe it? It’s outrageous that we, as women, are still subjected to this kind of treatment merely for dressing in a manner we choose,” she protested.
“The truth of the matter is, we endure this because we’re perceived as too attractive, and that’s the whole issue,” she added.
“There’s no necessity to dress in such a manner for a supermarket visit,” one commenter pointed out beneath her Instagram post.
“It’s an embarrassment to the decent individuals who frequent the place, often accompanied by their children,” they added.
“It seems what happened to you is akin to a shirtless man being asked to leave the premises,” they quipped.
“The barrage of insults seems to stem more from the ‘hot woman phobia’ I encounter regularly,” she reflected.
Shye Lee gained attention for her forthright discussion on the downsides of being perceived as overly attractive, sharing how she’s had to significantly adjust her lifestyle due to her looks.
