    I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it’s to gouge out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

    You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

    I’m sure they display a big anatomically correct Jesus on a cross right over a bench press, all sweaty and ripped in a tiny loin cloth. His cum gutters all glittering in the light with a look of pain on his face that wouldn’t be out of place in an S&M club.

    Seriously though, why does every gym have that one guy who only wears “Christ is King” tshirts and backpacks? My guy even leaves bibles out on top of his parked bicycle. I’m tempted to go in only wearing Satanic Temple shirts to openly mock him.

    Aside from all the gay references here this is a real two edged sword. On one hand, get all these right wing misogynist asshats away from women in gyms. Otoh, this is just another recruiting ground and echo chamber for right wing redpill incel BS.

      What I don’t get is, the space addressing “censorship in media” is often ultra conservative. How on earth does that gooner crowd reconcile with spaces that are “Anti-sexuality”?

      Can confirm.

      I went to a dudebro gym. It was a fucking incel hive mind.

      Half the encouragement was to “bang any bitch you want” and the other half was about reclaiming masculinity.

      One guy kept talking about “fighting for our right for survival” like motherfucker, you’re a 6ft white dude. Chill.

      If the gym doesn’t have a BLM/LGBT flag and a bunch of diversity, I don’t join.

      men aren’t even allowed to work out together without having their sexuality questioned. god forbid we actually become–gasp–friends with each other! and if that happens, it’s apparently only to concoct right-wing plots and figure out clever ways to harass women.

      meanwhile, a women’s only space is supposedly heaven on earth, even though they’ll all be gossiping and backstabbing each other for no reason.

        Ok. you blatantly disregarded the context of this post in order to make it some gender-war post about bros who just wanna be bros. That’s stupid.

        The title is, just in case you can’t read:

        Men-Only Gyms Trying To Protect Christian Men From Lust Get Brutally Ridiculed

        So we are OBVIOUSLY not discussing workout buddies, or gym friendships, or even y’know, if gay dudes like going to the gym, which nobody is saying can’t happen. But you went and redpilled it as a war against men because women have spaces away from men exactly because of the kind of men in the article.

    I mean, when I go to the gym I can’t give a fuck less about who is there. Crazy mofo that lives in the dumpster out back could be in there flipping tables….you do you, just don’t hog the equipment and rack your weights bro.

    Lots of definitely not gay stuff is going to be happening there. Gay dudes with a thing for closeted guys are going to have a field day.
