    Aside from all the gay references here this is a real two edged sword. On one hand, get all these right wing misogynist asshats away from women in gyms. Otoh, this is just another recruiting ground and echo chamber for right wing redpill incel BS.

      Can confirm.

      I went to a dudebro gym. It was a fucking incel hive mind.

      Half the encouragement was to “bang any bitch you want” and the other half was about reclaiming masculinity.

      One guy kept talking about “fighting for our right for survival” like motherfucker, you’re a 6ft white dude. Chill.

      If the gym doesn’t have a BLM/LGBT flag and a bunch of diversity, I don’t join.

        The victim complex is real with these people. An ex’s brother-in-law is a hardcore right-winger and his wifi password was donttre@donme. Dude’s a white small town EC doc, and also a small business owner just so his practically-stay-at-home-mom wife has something to do instead of sitting around their 3-story house bored while their 3 blonde haired daughters are at private school. The type of person being least tread on

        I’m fighting for my right for survival everyday, because I’m five fucking five and some of you tall fuckers like to put what I’m looking for above my eyesight. Seriously I’m glad my proportions are mildly fucked since I ended up with weirdly lanky arms so I can at least reach shit. Seriously who puts the top ramen on the aisle top shelf, that’s where the fucken weird ass Korean burn your asshole like your getting fucked by Ghost Rider shit is supposed to go.

      What I don’t get is, the space addressing “censorship in media” is often ultra conservative. How on earth does that gooner crowd reconcile with spaces that are “Anti-sexuality”?

      men aren’t even allowed to work out together without having their sexuality questioned. god forbid we actually become–gasp–friends with each other! and if that happens, it’s apparently only to concoct right-wing plots and figure out clever ways to harass women.

      meanwhile, a women’s only space is supposedly heaven on earth, even though they’ll all be gossiping and backstabbing each other for no reason.

        Ahem. From the article:

        This is what Hambrecht and Parsons are doing with their male-only gyms. They’re spreading conspiracies about morality and traditional marriage that cast women as dangerous. They’re promoting men rising up as warrior-kings who are ready to fight evil, and they’re getting rid of women who they claim are ruining everything.

        Ok. you blatantly disregarded the context of this post in order to make it some gender-war post about bros who just wanna be bros. That’s stupid.

        The title is, just in case you can’t read:

        Men-Only Gyms Trying To Protect Christian Men From Lust Get Brutally Ridiculed

        So we are OBVIOUSLY not discussing workout buddies, or gym friendships, or even y’know, if gay dudes like going to the gym, which nobody is saying can’t happen. But you went and redpilled it as a war against men because women have spaces away from men exactly because of the kind of men in the article.

          Bro immediately was like “Why are you picking on me?!” Victimhood.
