Man Sues Gym for Sexist Policy of Council- 'Women Only Hours'

ExpendableOne · 2015-05-15T14:14:08+00:00

Feminist liar "and if there is a market for male spaces thats okay as well"

OH THE LYING AND DECEIVING AND THE MORE LYING!

and the lies on top of lies in the face of past behaviour and now that we know what they did in the past.

Wasnt the very very first thing feminists did to invade male only spaces? To advocate for the abolition of male only spaces? To continue to advocate for the abolition of male only spaces there where they still exist?

So if you have an emotional reaction to being in this environment (that you are voluntarily subscribing to) then that means we should inconvenience and discriminate against 95% of the gym's customer base to cater to you? Give me a break. Grow a pair of ovaries or go to a women only gym.

im still waiting for men only gym or men only hours don't i deserve a safe space away from judgmental women too ...NO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT'S SEXIST

This guy is my hero!!!

"refusing to subsidize women because they're obviously capable of running their own lives"

The funniest part was when they addressed twitter comments about men going to the gym to score and asked him if he went to the gym to "score." I have pretty crappy gaydar, but I could see the gears in his head kind of get stuck at that point LOL.

They tried to derail that narrative so obviously -a sole counter viewpoint from a female, the council's woeful response claiming no wrong and then that selected tweet at the end- that he should be applauded for not being baited by them and staying on topic.

As for the male space point brought up by the voxpop, Gentlemen's clubs -the old school, pipes and whiskey type- were the first in the firing line when feminism came into play because they didn't allow women making it all very hypocritical.

Great that he kept on bringing it back to target, and saying that men should not be subsidizing women. He could have said if there was equal men's hours he would not have had a problem.

The narrative of that women need the safe space and that they feel insecure and unsafe just solidifies that the 3rd wave feminism is about victimisation. If we need "women's only hours" because they feel scared of men then by that same logic we'd need "scrawny weak men's hours" for men who are afraid of being judged by those buff men. Clearly, we don't need those hours because either you take charge of your own life and destiny, or you sit at home and cry about your problems - You don't get both.

well done that man, standing up for equality, bravo and he is championing the good fight, the mere fact he has to fucking justify why he did it is unbelievable.

his case was strong and i am glad he got a settlement, and if they don't change it others can sue too.

he explained himself well and is a credit to the cause, well done lad, you done good.

Not sure if my computer is having a melt down or not. But there there audio in this video, and was it supposed to be at 5fps?

Millenia0 · 2015-05-15T17:55:11+00:00

Oh man, I would love for my local gym to have fat people only hours :(

2015-05-16T02:31:50+00:00

lol, that lady.

There are religious and emotional reasons that men may want to have men only hours. So... and regardless of that, why would those things mean that men still have to pay the same amount for less access?

Good for this guy, well spoken and focused.

Cartman005 · 2015-05-15T18:14:03+00:00

I don't like that he settled out of court. Couldn't he have let the court rule and try to set a precedent against this kind of thing?

Fight fire with fire. Normally I wouldn't care about womens only hours at the gym but there is not a single male only space that I know of in my city anymore, they've all been shut down by feminists, not because they want to attend but because they don't want men gathering in a place where they can't be bossed around.

Nobody at the gym actually cares if you're a girl, or if you're fat or if you're scrawny or anything. Just wipe your shit down when you're done and don't sit at machines you're not using and nobody will have any problem with you.

I think my gym got it right. The gym is open to men and women at the same hours. They have women's only group training. They haven't started men's only group training. I wish they would. There are times where it's annoying to work out with someone who is slower and weaker.
