Was this sexism or not?

So I walk into this room the other day at the gym and there's like nothing but women in there and their all like GET OUT get out and stuff. You can't be in here because your a MAN! Then they said I things like your a perv and and were gonna call security! Now I just wanted to do what I had to do and leave right but no they just kept right on yelling about me being a MAN.

Anyway I figured they were just being sexist so I decided I'd better go. I didn't want to get in an altercation with a bunch what I figured were a bunch of feminists.

Were they being sexist?

There were no showers free anyway so I used the men's room instead but whatever.

    It was only sexism if it was a gender neutral changing room, if it was the womans room, then they had every right to assume you were being perv-y, since you had the option of going into your own changing room. And if they were being sexist, they weren't feminists. Feminist are against sexism in any way.

    Yes it's sexism.

    Or maybe the whole gym was rented for a "girl-only event".
