Crosspost "Why tf are so many men against womens only gyms/gym sections? It doesn’t affect them at all" from /r/rant:

Recently I’ve been looking into new gyms in my area to join, I have so much anxiety about going to a gym in general especially in the weights area since often it’s mostly men there. I remembered a while back seeing an all woman’s gym on tik tok so I looked it up there, ofc there were pressed insecure ass men commenting stuff on those vids about how there should be a guys only gym and “jokes” like “looks like I’m a girl now”. I was kinda expecting there to be some misogynistic comments but there was even more than I thought there would be.

I then looked up women only gyms in my area but there were no results. I did remember this one gym near me, while not exclusively women, had a womens only workout room so I checked their website but that amenity was no longer on there. I looked further into it and I guess recently my state BANNED all women gyms and even rooms.

Tbh I’m kinda pissed because men were seriously THAT BOTHERED by a space where women can feel comfortable that they got it legally banned. Like all we wanted was a safe space to workout without being self conscious of perverts but we can’t even have that. How much of an insecure dipshit of a man do you have to be that women having a comfortable space pissed you off so much that you felt the need to take it to the law?

Also to the assholes talking about making a mens only gym go fucking do it then, it’s not a matter of these men wanting to ensure equality rather they just wanna take away shit from women. Only misogynistic assholes would be against womens only gym areas, there’s literally no other reason to be bothered by them. I guarantee if men were treated how so many women are in gyms they’d make a separate room too.

Edit: grammar
