Industry figures have also chimed in, including Schitt\u2019s Creek co-creator and star Dan Levy. On Instagram, he wrote, \u201cWomen wearing short shorts to the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them whores misogynists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Women are showing off their gym shorts in response<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Social media is also filled with posts from women reclaiming the line by sharing their cute gym outfits.
