    How my gym views women

    @gods10rules I honestly wish we even had the option where I live. “Women’s gyms” and “women’s areas” aren’t allowed because the MRAs feel “discriminated” against in a space already built for them. Basically, I have no hope to get a leg press that adjusts to me or allows me to rerack without...
