Well, it's extremely sexist to tell women to cover up because men will be distracted. It's like being in a Middle East country.



I find that, more often than not, it is other women who have a problem with women going into the gym dressed like this. I worked at a gym in college, and I never had any guy come up to me and complain about how a girl was dressed. I did have girls come up and complain about how other girls were dressed though.

They would kill them in the middle east for wearing yoga pants and a tank top. I think you meant to say "Thankfully, this is still nothing like the middle east."

Rape culture maybe is a little over the top, but she has a point. Guys like to ogle chicks, but then the girls are sluts if they wear revealing attire.


Quite the opposite.

Girls wear revealing attire because it makes them feel attractive. Guys look at them with lusting eyes and they get mad because the guys are looking at them because of their attire.

Pretty typical of SJW's. They want to control their own decisions as well as people's reaction to said decisions. They're nothing more than petulant, self-centered children.

Part of the reason Muslim women cover up is to not distract men. Even Muslims in the US do this.

No. Dudes are usually shirtless and in long shorts and chicks in sports bras and either those capri pants or booty shorts. I'm in board shorts typically with a loose tshirt or no shirt.

No one gives a shite at my gym.

What if it's her college gym she pays for with tuition and can't afford another gym?

So it is the women volunteering to do this now? They would have been killed under the old system.

Women in the US that do this do so because some man tells them to. Either directly or indirectly, it is by order, decree or whatever label you would like.

It depends on the country I think, but no, in many places in the Mid East it is mandatory for women to cover up.

I wonder what the actual "dress code" is and how far this SJW is blowing it out of proportion.

Must be Planet Fitness, they do not allow that type of stuff. Only Asexuals, like Mouton, are allowed to be members.

That same letter was posted at a high school that implemented a dress code a few years ago for the students.

This is so the men get super hard-up so they can become all rapey when it's jihad time. Works like a charm too. Ever been to S. Europe?
