    I was wearing a short sleeve shirt today. I lifted my arms to put my hair in a ponytail.
    My boss ( female in her 30s) says" Oh, you're way too muscular. I just want to tone, I think I will start doing 10k steps a day".

    Now the question is do I go to HR for muscle discrimination or her using the word "tone"? I'm torn.

    just punch her in the face and move on...

    the amount of seriousness in some of the replies is actually really amusing.

    Btw op, can i borrow that bicep for a day? I recently told my gym junkie boss that I was planning to start lifting here soon, and he hit me with the "No, dont do that, girls shouldnt be lifting, just go for a run. Bulky girls are not attractive". LOL *eyeroll*

    On a different note, told my boyfriend (who is pretty jacked already with biceps the size of my head), that I wanted to start lifting and his response was "Thats awesome! Gosh, I hope you end up with bigger arms than me, that would be great!" Lol he was being totally honest too. Goof.

    Awe thank you. Yeah real man are not scared of muscular women

    My husband fist bumbs me when I have gainzzzzz. Then I go in the kitchen and put my muscles in good use and whip something good for dinner

    Men do like their women made sammiches, mine certainly does lol

    I didn't read all the thread but here's my 5 cents

    She was pulling a passive aggressive move
    She just fit shamed you
    I know you're confident but I think that belongs at HR.. Specially comming from a boss.

    This.

    Take it to hr and tell us how badly they laugh at you. Op has never lived a life of a minority. People go thru their entire lives hearing racial slurs and you're gonna get upset .

    Muscle arms lives matter!

    I'm going to share with you a quote from Epictetus:
    "Any person capable of angering you becomes your master; he can answer you only when you permit yourself to be disturbed by him."

    I advise you to shake it off, sister. Shake it off, focus on yourself, and move on.
