It got taken down bc it was a stupid and incorrect thing to say. Men are shirtless, people are sweaty, it’s a hot room, women go there to focus on working out and dress accordingly. They don’t wear layers to peal off cuz they’re working hard !! No need to carry around a sweatshirt when you could just… wear what is comfortable to work out in? What gets me is I’m sure you’re the same type who complains about women only gyms too. While being objectifying…
When people are pressed about opinions like this, it normally means you’re right. Women’s gym shorts are the equivalent of men’s underwear, and they can wear a sports bra, together they have more clothes off than on. If I showed up to the gym in the same outfit women do I’d be kicked out shits so wack 😂
Well IMO it’s tricky a regular sports bra and shorts is fine too me but the sizing and cut make a difference and some people got junk hanging out of everywhere that’s kinda where I draw the line personally but unless it’s specifically not allowed from the rules of the gym not my choice
Omg we found THE person who has freak outs at any body of water 💀 what do you even do about the bathing suits? Can you handle it??? This must be such a harder mentality to have than I realize cuz it is exhausting to objectify people constantly everywhere, to the point it even takes up space in your mind while you workout!!!
Women ≠ Men. Men are inherently lustful in tons of nasty ways. Women showing up to the gym in skin-tight clothes that show the indent of their ass crack are clearly drawing men into looking at them. The men are wrong and responsible for creepy looks, but the women are just as responsible for unnecessarily dressing that way.
So it’s women’s fault because men can’t control themselves? You sound like the kinda guy that would ask “but what was she wearing” when a woman is assaulted. Also, women wearing that don’t give a fuck if they draw a few eyes. They understand that part. They only have a problem if somebody is being an actual creep.
The standard of “if it upsets people it’s probably right” is so fucking stupid lmao. You would be kicked out because your dick and balls would be pressing against the shorts. In the same way, if you wore a loose tank top with no bra, nobody would care, but if a woman did, she’d be kicked out. It’s almost like we have different anatomy and our bodies shouldn’t be treated exactly the same.
It used to be pretty normal for people to be naked all the time. In tribal times skirts and loins were brought up but exercise was still performed with the chest exposed. It was western ideology that pushed covering the chest. There was a BLINK in history where most women constantly had VERY modest garments, but in a long term look at human survival and evolution, being mad at women in a sports bra is fucking weird
No this. I’m a man who’s worked out for years. I find women in athletic wear very attractive. I’ll respectfully glance at times, and if you ask any woman who works out, they do not give a shit. I’m also a man with a pretty high sex drive. Despite all of that, I am very, very capable of controlling myself when I see a woman. If you’re not, then you should seek help. It’s not that hard.
Exactly! And the reality is it doesn’t fucking matter. I don’t care if men are shirtless it’s probably more comfortable. I also don’t care if women are. Bc it’s none of my fucking business how people dress themselves and I have the self control to not spend my workout lusting when I literally am there to workout. Idk how men have the energy to spend their time just looking at and judging women but it def explains why men’s physiques are so lacking rn
No, you don’t. You don’t see anyone close to that either. You see women in shorts and make up some fantasy to justify your misogyny. Nobody is advocating for women to have their ass cheeks hanging out, they are advocating for women to be allowed to wear athletic wear in a fucking gym.
Well for 1, a man’s chest is significantly different than a women’s there’s no comparison there. But no, I don’t wanna see dudes nips in the gym, stringers are kinda weird but still no there’s no comparison between women’s breast and a man’s chest idk how you can argue that at all😂
This is such a dumb thing to say and a clear misunderstanding of what a sports bra even is? But for the sake of being a devils advocate, that wouldn’t bother me and I definitely wouldn’t have to fight the urge to hurt or objectify that woman. I rly would not care bc when I’m working out, I’m literally working out. I’m locked in
“1 in a million” but 8/10 girls I see at the gym are in the tightest biker shorts that show every detail of each cheek bc they are designed to show that off? I don’t agree w it when men wear tight shorts either. it’s disgusting and I don’t want to see their junk. as a girl it is literally not hard to find shorts that don’t show the world your entire ass
You are too sensitive to be in these environments. I’m sorry. You need to stay away from gyms, pools, beaches, running paths, basketball courts, etc. These are *public* places where modesty is put aside for the purpose of function—sweat, comfort, feeling good, staying cool, agility, what have you. It’s clearly too much for you (even tho it’s legal and doesn’t harm you), so just work out at home or find a more modest space
it’s not misogynistic to say it’s gotten kind of crazy, I see other girls at my gym leave cooch sweat on machines bc their biker shorts are that thin. running shorts are easy to find and don’t show every inch of both cheeks! I think men wearing tight shorts is equally gross, I do not want to see balls in the gym. you’re confusing misogyny with having a different opinion than you
Obviously they have the right to dress however they want, and the post doesn’t insinuate that most do it for attention either (at least how I interpreted it). But I don’t understand why theres so much backlash to giving these women what they wanted… attention - whether positive or negative
you’ll still get sweat when you use thin fabrics, and most athletic wear is so you don’t get more hot and sweat more. biker shorts risk riding up or showing too much depending on what kind of workout your doing. and this is why we wipe after using machines! also they’re called biker shorts, they’re nice for doing cardio. workout at home if it bothers you so much.
for some things like sports bras, yes. but no one is wearing those biker shorts explicitly marketed as “booty lifting” for any reason other than attention. that is literally the entire point - they are designed specifically to draw attention to it, no ifs ands or buts, and they are EVERYWHERE. that’s where I personally draw the line
It’s often not for attention, it’s to just look good. I’m a man, and I dress to be attractive all the time. Not to garner the attention or gaze of anyone, but because I feel better when I’m confident in my appearance. Same with women, clothes that accentuate the bodies they work for make them feel good. Women dress like that in women’s only gyms too, which I think is clear proof it’s not for attention. Some people just like looking good.
