1) Girls are not allowed to be members here, there's an age restriction on under 18s. The word you are looking for is "women".

    2) Women are allowed to post on threads. Yes, even without a man's permission.

    4) And people are allowed to not lift heavy. They are allowed to use the treadmill and use pink dumbbells and do Zumba. Feminine does not equal Wrong.

    5) Women can wear whatever they're comfortable in to work out. So long as they're abiding by the rules of the gym/class, it's none of anyone else's concern.

    6) You know, we really aren't interested in exactly what parts of a woman's body you find attractive, or in what size and shape. When you announce how much you like a "juicy pear shape" it's creepy. And when you make these comments about an obviously young female poster it's even more creepy.

    7) It's menstruation. It's a normal, regular event that more than half of the population will experience in their lifetime. It is not "week of shame" or any other similar nonsense I've read on here. The 1700s called, they're missing you.

    This. I totally understand the science and logic that leads to the "lift heavy or you'll just be a skinny fat person," but I'm pretty over the whole dogma of it. I think lifting is boring as sin, and love running; no amount of reading or logic is going to convince a person to do an exercise they hate.

    (Also, I really hate the whole "skinny fat" thing, but this is a totally different issue for a different topic.)

    8) Female posters do not exist to meet your demands to private message you naked shots of themselves. And even if you don't believe this, but just make jokes about it, you're still coming across as creep.

    9) You are literally the worst. And I used to be in MYSPACE FORUMS, so....that's embarrassing. For you.

    10) Don't refer to women with words such as "germy" or "skank". Here's a tip for you - if you wouldn't use such words in reference to, say, black or Jewish people it's not ok.

    The amount of nasty terms I see women called on these forums is pretty horrendous. I have actually learned new and exciting derogatory words! </sarcasm>

    The person with this profile picture just said this thing. I made a picture to celebrate the most horrific thing I've ever read on MFP forums. Then I posted it under her comment. And it'll get deleted, and I don't care. I am jubilant.

    I needed to take a screen shot of the most perfectly awful thing I've ever read just in case she changes it. It is fractally terrible. The closer you look the more wrongness flowers off it in ever exponentially intricate forms.
