@MaytalKowalski I have absolutely learned (not quite) everything to avoid and keep myself safe from men. And who says I don't talk about this with trusted friends? Your presumptions are off the charts. I thought you were asking about this because you were genuinely curious, my mistake
@MaytalKowalski But how do you look without leering? It's not so clear! That's what I find stressful. There's a lot of misogyny around this issue. I also think that stress is real - I don't know if there's anything that can or should be done about it. Like I said, I'd love a men's only gym.
@MaytalKowalski that being said, women don't deserve to be called any derogatory names, and can dress however they want. It's just my issue, and probably a lot of other men's too, feeling like a creep for not ignoring something right in front of you that you're programmed to look at
@MaytalKowalski I wouldn't complain. As someone who has - like Shane Gillis! - returned to the gym after working out from home for a while, I'm quite paranoid about making women uncomfortable, and when women are doing squats in bikinis, its hard to ignore. I'd welcome a mens-only room.
