Mark Rippetoe says: she needs to be placed in sexual slavery

@andysmith He runs the forum these remakes were made on. He's said that it's a private forum so he doesn't have to allow "left coast liberals" and so he deletes their comments. At the same time he allows, for example, a favorable review of Hitler's book and misogynistic and racist comments in the name of "free speech".

Kind of hard to get deplatformed from your own platform. That would take all the Starting Strength gym franchise owners to rebel.
 
@tarheelfan He also writes rape fantasy porn. Elsewhere in this thread someone posted a link to a YouTube video of a guy reading it - the r/startingstrength mods will ban you if you mention it
 
@allan1967 I have been anti-Starting Strength for awhile because the program sucks - why teach beginners to bang their heads against the 5RM wall and not do cardio? It's a bizarre approach to strength training. It was removed from the r/fitness wiki because it's so awful. It is interesting how equally awful the program and the program creator are yet they are defended by so many people.
 
@meow69 I'll preface this by saying holy shit I knew that guy rubbed me the wrong way and I'm a little proud of how correct my gut was on this guy.

But do you mean we should be doing cardio with strength training or do you mean we shouldn't avoid it?
 
@philipe Should.

Not like, running forever or spending an hour on the rower everyday. But as a beginner to strength training if someone was a runner already they could dial it back to allow more recovery from the weights during the first few weeks or months. For someone new to fitness starting running and weight training might be a bit much initially. But a 30-45 min walk or hike or hike or swim a few times a week is only going to serve just about everybody well I think. A lot of the reason why newbies hit a wall after a few months of strength training is due to their conditioning being poor - especially after doing starting strength because it's such a limited in scope program. More of the same is unlikely to get them much further but improving their cardio (general) and conditioning (specific to weight training) will almost always help.
 
@meow69 Cognitive dissonance. It’s hard for people to associate negative feelings with something they already feel positively about. Or they themselves are raging misogynists. 🤷🏻‍♀️
 
@meow69 I don't care about cancel culture, but I definitely think that these types of people DO NOT deserve support. A woman talks about her health scare and she should be in sexual slavery because... the vaccine?

I don't even know, honestly. The logic jumps are absurd for me. However, people are free to disagree, but to take it to such an extreme position shows you how he feels about women in general. It's best to stay far away from these types of people. They do not have your best interest at heart. Any support means you're allowing them to ab/use you.
 
@softspokenlamb If you like, check out the replies to Mark's comment. She has surgery scars on her legs which according to the people of Starting Strength makes her less desirable as a sex slave (absolute WTF??).
