Myself and the people I know who believe that a lot of girls are too scantily dressed also believe that the guys who wear stringers look stupid. I’m guessing that’s what you’re referring to, because a simple tank top that just has the shoulders and arms exposed is NOT the same as a girl with shorts that are suctioned into their ass that barely cover their cheeks.
You’re more than welcome to wear a sports bra. Women have to do that too! And because they don’t want to, and don’t have to. I hate working out in sweats and hoodies lmao, i wear shorts and tight compression shirts that show off every inch of my torso. I don’t see you complaining about guys that dress like me though, seems like you only care when women do it.
This is why we need a bunch of all female gyms. Men can’t control themselves. You clearly believe they are out of control, stupid, aggressive, primal and should be only sometimes allowed near women. So let’s just allow women to workout with each other where no one (you) will harass them for lifting!
Women are not responsible for men controlling themselves. And dressing comfortably, wearing a crop top, or idk a man going for a run without a shirt, none of that is taking away dignity from that person. I’ve never seen a man running shirtless and started to degrade him in my mind, or a woman running in a sports bra. Bc why would I?? It doesn’t relate to dignity, it relates to comfort
Exactly! You’re so close! It’s a public space where sports bras are allowed, and where people are hot and sweaty. So if YOU are not able to handle that YOU need to workout at home. Same thing at the beach-you don’t show up and start yelling at people for wearing bathing suits. You need to not go into these public spaces that trigger *you*
Dude shut up, you are a sexist woman there is nothing so embarrassing as that. You prey on other women, making them uncomfortable in their own normalcy. Get over yourself and stop speaking down to people who actually care about maintaining a safe gym space. It’s legal, it’s allowed, go to your modest little cave and live their alone and happy
I’m fully capable of understanding the concept of minding your own business. If everyone there is fine, and you’re the only one with a problem, how about you stay at home? The entitlement to think the burden of avoidance is on the people you personally don’t like to see, and not on you is embarrassing.
LMAO you’re so full of shit. The average American has no issue with it! Look at actual statistics and not a male dominated yikyak space with idk 200 opinions? Thats like actually dumb. The MAJORITY is so ok with women in shorts and a crop top. Actually in a lot of western spaces, the MAJORITY are cool with women topless. So since you are agreeing with the popular opinion, you agree it’s totally ok!
Are you like slow? Popular opinion cannot be determined by a single pole of less then 500 people. It’s not statistically significant data. You have to google a peer reviewed study, and then you will learn where the National or a regional popular opinion actually is. It is for women dressed in their gym wear in these spaces. Thats why it’s legal—we voted for it to be legal. The majority. What do you not understand??
That response explains a LOT more. You’re not going to work on your body, you are literally going to a community space for people to improve themselves to JUDGE and hate on women. Thats fucking wild. You should stay home except to maybe see a mental health professional. This jealous and bitter mindset could ruin your life
No, you clearly need help hun. They are not caring about you, it is you who are going in and judging and hating and filling your mind with them! They are spending time thinking about their form, reps, breathe, and you are sat there making no progress judging them for having the confidence to wear what makes them feel comfortable
I’m a girl, and we both know that wouldn’t work. The girls wear that stuff because they want attention (but pretend like they don’t like it), either in person or in the video they’re posting online of them barely clothed. Whether you like it or not some clothes are inherently sexual.
Just because you and the people you choose to surround yourself with would only dress that way for attention doesn’t mean that’s how other women feel. Why do women dress so much more promiscuously in all female gyms in parties if it’s for male attention? And sure! I agree there are def women who wear little thing bc they feel damn good in it and they do like that people know they look hot. But I don’t rly get why that offends you either? It doesn’t affect you?
The whole point of feeling hot is still seeking male attention at the end of the day. People want to feel desirable, that’s normal. But let’s have some respect for men and not show off every crevice of our bodies at the gym. I’d be mad if men wore leggings too, I don’t wanna see all that.
When we talk about revealing clothes we aren’t talking about normal sports bra and leggings. That’s just sports wear. I’m talking about people hiking their spandex up their buttcrack and wearing the tiniest bras you’ve ever seen and their tits are falling out. That’s over the top and def not comfy
So maybe you’re just weird. Cuz I wouldn’t care if men wore leggings. Idc when I travel and men wear speedos and I don’t have a hard time focusing in other countries where women are comfortable topless. I’m from a warm place with respectful and nonjudgmental people. People dress for the weather not the men, and the men don’t care! Men don’t feel disrespected here when women dress for warm weather, even if a woman was naked they are not the type to be peep on or harass her, but to check on her.
I think there’s nothing wrong with consent based spaces. Everyone going to a beach knows they might see someone in a bikini. Going to a topless or nude beach means you are agreeing to seeing someone nude. If you go to a public gym, you agree to seeing and not bothering women in sports bras and shorts. And that’s fine, making such a large deal about it comes from a sexist place, not some care for modesty
Classic one. As soon as you don’t have a good point it’s “just leave me alone this doesn’t affect you” but it does. What’s wrong with men not wanting women to objectify themselves? I think that’s great. I think it would be much worse for men to be encouraging women to dress in that way.
Shorts and a sports bra are covering and just fine. Tight clothes also totally ok, they hold things in place a lot of people like that support when they work out. If women were topless in a gym that didn’t allow it, that’s different. But that’s just not the case. Don’t go to a gym to judge others idk how you guys even have the time or energy to notice and be offended by what other people are wearing. I go to workout
I’m done with this conversation. The reality is, you’re just wrong. By law, by the popular vote of the people in most western countries, and by gym rules. So I’m not going to worry about it, bc it’s allowed. But it does RLY freak me out how comfortable these men are saying that they just neeeed to lust over a woman in leggings
Strawman lover over here… just saying the attitude is problematic and women, if you don’t want to be objectified, don’t objectify yourself. That tends to help. Men are at fault if they’re lusting after someone but women can also do their part and not have their reproductive organs on full display. Makes it pretty tough for men
That’s what’s gross. For most men it is not “pretty tough” to avoid being objectifying. There are entire countries of men that can handle topless women without viewing them sexually. Excusing this behavior allows it to continue. It is not tough to avoid sexualizing and harassing women. It’s not hard to avoid not touching or talking or objectifying them. If it is? Get help!! That’s not normal, I’m sorry someone convinced you it was.
I’m a medical professional to be clear. In sexual and reproductive health. You are actually dense. We do not consider breasts part of the sexual or reproductive system. Lots of things change during pregnancy—feet size, hips, nose—we don’t make them reproductive bc of that. You can’t just will it to truth.
Oh wow sorry I insulted you Mr. Doctor I’m just saying that breasts are related to reproduction. If you don’t agree with that you should have your license taken away because you’re dumb. That’s the whole reason that men “”evolved”” to find breasts attractive. They’re a fertility insicator
Yes they and every organ in the human body. Reproduction is pretty pivotal to human survival and it’s very involved with most of the body. Yes, men do sexualize breasts. Should they? Idk it’s kind of weird. But they do. Is that women’s fault? No! Does that mean women can’t wear sports bras? No! Does that mean women should try to prove they don’t have breasts? No!
I’ve never said you can’t wear a sports bra or should act like you don’t have breasts? All you guys do is strawman because it’s all you have. It’s more like, don’t show all your goods because you want attention and then act all mad because you’re getting attention and hate on the men. And breasts are more involved (pre-formula) in reproduction than probably anything besides the uterus itself.
Alright I’m done with you. You’re trying to say that breasts are not involved in reproduction because you just cannot concede that it’s natural to “sexualize” breasts. Prior to formula, it would have been basically impossible for women without functional breasts to have surviving offspring. In nature, breasts are a required part of the reproductive system.
Women have been able to use cows milk and surrogate breasts actually for centuries! In the olden days it was very uncommon for a woman of stature to breastfeed her own babies, midwives did it. And if a woman couldn’t produce in tribal villages, evidence shows other members of the village would step up. Baby wouldn’t die. Still would be a matter of digestion and secretion. Baby is already born, no more reproduction
Okay but you have to recognize that what you’re doing is making everyone around you uncomfortable. Wearing tight sports wear is fine but there is a line. Nobody wants to see the outline of your vag because you’re wearing shorts that are 2 sizes to small. Sure wear what makes you comfortable but don’t do it at the expense of giving everyone around you a very unwanted anatomy lesson
No you are confused. Reproduction is to fertilize an embryo and give birth to a baby. Not to feed someone. Your argument is that anything related to life or a child survival is reproduction. You are incorrect. The child’s beating heart is not a reproductive organ, even when it’s in the uterus
Yeah I didn’t learn shit from you because you’re being dumb. The AI summary that is trained on tons of articles and medical journals agrees with me. I’m sure you can find some medical journal that says what you’re saying (you can find a study that says literally anything) but it is fact that breasts are reproductive. I’m not “misunderstanding” women’s health you’re just being unnecessarily dense
Idk what to tell you. Peer reviewed studies are the closest thing we have to statistical truth. I rly encourage you to take a statistics or primary source class or smthn? The AI summaries have not shown to be accurate when used reliably. I’m not saying I can find one I’m saying that over 95% of modern med journals will tell you they are not reproductive.
Ok I have to take a minute from someone who would actually send chat gbt in this context that is fucking wild. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for me and you get some education. Idc where there’s lots of programs to help you afford it but dear god please. Just on stats and source recognition and maybe go to a workshop on reproductive health and women’s spaces? Idk
Nobody said it gives them permission to objectify or harass them, we’re saying we DONT want to see your vag through your shorts because it’s disgusting to look at. You don’t look hot when you do this you look like an idiot bc you’re practically flashing everyone around you. And I think it’s VERY telling that your first thought is that men like to see that and want to objectify you.
I’m sorry I’m not interested in liberal indoctrination camp. My education is just fine. Like I said, I’m a stats major with a 4.0 and I’m actually on a full scholarship too! I know that pisses you off to know there’s smart people who disagree with you. That’s ok. I’m willing to acknowledge that, you should too as a mature adult
You’re the one that brought up stats not me boo. And you never cited a specific journal (gimme a break on that one ik you don’t read medical journals in your free time) and you ignored the stuff on Google that disagreed with you. And ignored the ChatGPT prompt that disagreed with you as well. You’re just ignorant.
No accessory means it is not inherently *for* the verb. Thats the entire point of the word. Look up what accessory means. The function is not reproductive. It’s not necessary for reproduction. My issue is you’re insistent that they are reproductive organs, and that when I told you they are not, you continue.
Idk how else to explain this to you. Being an accessory organ of the reproductive system is SO MANY PARTS of the body. Your reproductive system impacts like EVERYTHING. Your original point was that they were reproductive, and therefore inappropriate or sexually suggestive. I’m trying to get you to understand that if everything accessory to reproduction were considered reproductive and/or sexual, it would be a very different world. That logic makes no sense. Do you understand what I mean?
No I really don’t. Breasts are related to reproduction centrally in a way that no other organs are besides those that physically create the zygotes and the baby and birth the baby. It is much more related to reproduction than your heart or your liver are. You’re just twisting everything to try and make your ridiculous point.
I know that! I told you that! I’m just correcting the language of “they are reproductive organs” they’re not. It’s fine. You insisted multiple times that they are reproduction organs, now we know that they are not. Take a breath. Breasts are only considered accessory in the broad reproductive context, not anatomically part of the reproductive system itself
You’re just splitting hairs because you know you’re wrong. I’m sorry I didn’t use your medical language like you wanted. I’m not a “medical practitioner” like you I’m just a stupid old layperson. Breasts are reproductive is my whole point. That is a fact. You’re using the word accessory to avoid the point that they’re accessory TO reproduction. They’re reproductive. They don’t serve any other purpose really.
Bro WHAT. They don’t serve another purpose???? They secrete milk. That to you may sound reproductive but it is not anatomically related to reproduction at all. Like their primary function is so different and the micro and chemical biology that happens is NOT reproductive. It is accessory because it is impacted and contributes and obviously functions right after reproduction. But it is not reproductive. You have to be dumb to not understand. Like you don’t have to be in medicine, just think.
Is postnatal care not inherently reproductive? I’ve said multiple times I’m not an idiot and I know breasts are not related to creating the baby. But for reproduction to be successful in nature the baby has to be fed and weaned off of milk. Reproduction would have a 0% success rate if nobody had functional breasts before formula was created.
Ok I’ve addressed this a few times now. You understand that just because reproduction would not happen without the organ, doesn’t make reproduction that organs primary function? Right? So I’ll use this as an example, again, if no one had a heart, we could not reproduce! We would be dead. Weak heart function can reduce the flow of certain hormones and make it so reproduction is harder or impossible. But the hearts function isn’t reproduction, it’s circulation.
You keep saying this thing of reproduction would not work without breasts. But reproduction would not work without most organs—reproductive or not—I don’t get your point. I’m telling you it is an accessory organ to the reproductive system that’s primary function is secretory, not reproductive. There is no other truth
I’ve addressed that multiple times. Postnatal care is reproductive because it is necessary for the survival of the fetus in the same way that supplying nutrients in utero is necessary. The baby is just outside of the body for this portion. You’re clearly not even trying to understand me so have a great day boo and get off your high horse it would do you well
How is that related at all to what I said? Just cuz they’re not reproductive organs doesn’t mean men aren’t attracted to them. Hell I’m attracted to them! They’re just not reproductive. Nor is glutes or hips. But being attracted to them doesn’t excuse objectifying women just for having them.
I’m so confused. I’m pointing out a flaw in your logic. Stop repeating that the breast is necessary for a child to survive. So is almost every other organ. So your point is stupid. Because it doesn’t make the breast reproductive. If your logic made sense everything would be. What do you not get? Help me understand what you’re missing
I’ve explained it multiple times. You won’t get it but I’ll say it AGAIN. The breast’s function is SOLELY supporting postnatal care and secreting hormones that support reproduction. The heart supports life as a whole, but isn’t considered accessory to reproduction because its function isn’t directly related to reproduction. The breast’s function is directly related to postnatal care which is REQUIRED for reproduction to be successful. Its sole function is supporting successful reproduction.
… so the breasts are reproductive. They are part of the reproductive system (as an “accessory” if that makes you happy) and do not really serve any other purpose. They are there to support successful reproduction. Just like the rest of the reproductive system is. In the same way the heart exists to support successful circulation. Don’t be so patronizing to me and act like I’m slow, I’ve had to repeat myself multiple times because you didn’t get it
Nope! Close! They are NOT reproductive. They support the reproductive system. They are secretory. But medically and anatomically they are not considered reproductive. You were more right before. They also have adipose stores and immune cells like langerhans cells that are def not reproductive
I’m trying to think of a good example in another organ system where you have an accessory organ that has an entire other function, but it’s a rly complicated convo without knowing your background. Either way, yes you are right they are accessory in the sense that they support post natal care, but post natal care is not reproduction and I think that’s what has you caught up. They are not reproductive as a result, it’s a medical technicality if you want to insist it’s true
You’re playing semantics because it would mean you’re wrong to actually critique the substance of what I’m saying instead of nitpicking. I’m done, Google says you’re wrong, logic says you’re wrong. You can’t just say “they’re not reproductive” with no argument. Their main purpose is supporting reproduction, so for all purposes of determining what men are apparently “allowed” to be attracted to, breasts are reproductive. That was my whole point. Now chill out
No. I literally don’t know how to explain this to you different. I responded to a comment saying that women should cover a sports bra with a t shirt. That’s what I disagreed with. I also disagreed with the idea the breasts are entirely reproductive organs. That’s it. And me and others agreed we don’t rly see ass cracks at our gym
Nobody ever said they should be given permission to objectify anybody. You’re making a comparison to an extreme that wasn’t here in the first place. Men showing off extra with stringers is inappropriate in a public gym, just like a girl who is wearing booty master 9000s and tucking in only the back of her shirt so that only her ass shows. It’s about decency. On BOTH ends
I’ve been in sports and in gyms for as log as i can remember. I promise you me wearing a sport bra and shorts while working out is not for attention it’s because i’m most comfortable and get hot easily. Not every woman who wears a bra (literally most women) is looking for attention. grow up
The fact you label wearing athletic clothing in a gym as not respecting yourself is so silly lmao. Have you ever seen a women’s only gym? They dress the exact same way, so it very clearly is not for male attention. The fact you’re lumping in men having to control their actions towards other and women wearing tight clothes in the same boat tells us all we need to know about you.
