    Why do we need to sexualize and objectify women's bodies at the gym? This thread is ridiculous. Could you imagine a woman posting a thread "Ladies - men in basketball shorts or running shorts at the gym?" And then women replying "Oh the ones in those silky basketball shorts are just faking nice quads. Whereas the ones in running shorts have to actually have nice quads" No, because it sounds stupid.

    yet the thread started today posting nothing but topless beefcake is fine? You dont hear men whining about objectifying them?

    Im will go reread that post to find your comment about how THAT thread should not exist

    Haha, I agree I don't think men should be objectified like that either and that thread should also not exist - I don't think I said anywhere in my post that threads like this about men are okay, in fact I said they sound ridiculous. I haven't seen a thread like that but I also haven't been looking for threads like that and this one happened to pop up when I came on. How about we just don't objectify anyone at the gym? That would be greaaaat. How about everyone wears what they're comfortable wearing and we don't discuss whether you prefer seeing peoples *kitten* in x garment because I think most people don't go to the gym to be ogled.
    Well, darn... and here I thought we were all here for the same thing....

    Eh, if someone's hot, they are. And turn around is fair play. I like watching hot guys work out.

    Yup.

    By the way, you do realize that Lululemon was started by a guy who basically wanted to look at women's *kitten* while doing yoga, don't you? (I think the story is that he saw that women had "nothing to wear" while doing yoga, so he created the line...but come on..)

    It's funny because there've been a countless number of threads in which females have been assured that they don't need to feel uncomfortable going to the gym, since "no one notices them". I can see shy/embarrassed women taking this thread in the wrong way and feeling like it affirms their anxieties.

    Note - I'm not against having fun or people noticing attractive women (or men - both are instinctual and natural), but this thread did make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I'm also not a rabid feminist with double standards.

    If I see women in shorts shorts or lights, I do my best not to stare or ogle them, out of respect for the relationship I have with my wife. Nor would I be happy with her ogling guys either. Its a 2 way street

    Yup, and he's made plenty of comments about girls who really shouldn't be wearing his pants. From a marketing standpoint, I think he's a complete imbecile for saying those things.

    From strictly a marketing perspective, I think his incendiary comments are pure genius.

    From a decent human being perspective, meh, not so much.

    It doesn't have to be personal for me to call out the equivalence of you sitting in a welfare office just to tell people that you've never had money problems.

    Not really, considering they only go up to a size 12.
