Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I’m just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are ‘going to get so much pussy for lifting’ and whatever dumb shit. It’s a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.
Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I’m probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.
Existing power structures would make something like this a necessity but is this really something to concern one’s self with? The spirit of his words aren’t inherently misogynist but borne out of sexuality. We can’t criminalize physical desire altogether. His comment is harmless in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah man, it sounds dumb but it’s likely just an off hand remark during a physical activity. I find it arrogant to judge this person purely off of this.
Not a very dialectical take lol
I agree that it is pretty minor by itself, but seriously, men acting this way consistently is the death by a thousand cuts that keeps women out of a lot of spaces. There’s nothing wrong with identifying it and countering it.
Oh no, actually, I’m being dumb, I just reread the post thanks to this. I assumed op’s gender like an asshole. My bad
Pretty sure OP is male though (apologies if I misconstrued this) and I don’t see how that should matter here either way. Overhearing this sort of talk is grating and disturbing regardless of your gender, it’s always crude, dehumanizing and infuriating to put up with, to varying degrees I’ll grant you but it doesn’t become less or more acceptable based on your identity, it’s always bad.
