Only if you believe that feminist speak for all women. They don’t. Not even close.

How? There are no "rights" associated with gyms. Are male only football teams setting equal rights back? What about fraternities and sororities ?

Title of thread says it all. He's just looking for an opportunity to bash so called social justice warriors.

Hopefully some of the thoughtful posts here have enabled him to see beyond his narrow political approach.

And why do you care? Got a problem?


Whether or not this is new is beyond me, when I go to the gym I want to enjoy my exercise


What must I have a card depicting my race next? "Oh hey imma a white passing Hispanic, please let me in"


Now understood for some reasons already listed, but if you're doing it because you know SJW trash is trendy then I am not buying it


With that all that due, let's say it all: Gyms should be available to everyone.

Gyms are businesses and will offer whatever their customers want. I'm sure there are guys out there who would love an all male class so they could cuss their azzes off and make locker room talk the whole time.

If there are enough women, or Muslims, or whatevers to fill up a class profitably, so what as long as you get the class that you want?

Oh you guys need to stop blindly defending the SJW Kool Aid too


Hey I've built character from my hardships and turmoil, so any other constantly bullied and or marginalized person can do it too.

I think Curves is one of those female only gyms? I've never been but have a friend who loves it. But I have no need to work out in a segregated gym.

Sorry if i sound misinformed here, but there’s the whole push for female bodybuilding, female-only gyms, apperantly they also want more Muslims in fitness too

Meet Amina Khan, the Health Guru Working to Revolutionize the Fitness Space | Muslim Girl

Well guess those black athletes training in gyms don’t cater to the SJW crowd anymore
Dude, if you're seeing an 'SJW' - or whatever the boogeyman-terminology du jour happens to be on a given day - lurking behind every elliptical, then the problem isn't whatever is scaring you.

It's you.

Oh get over yourself too, we don't need forced diversity shoved down our asses everywhere too


What's next? Should we start accepting cannibals in?

I don't blindly defend anyone - maybe YOU should stop acting like a victim? Yeah...twist it any which way you want and see if it fits.
