Mark Rippetoe thinks putting women in concentration camps is an "interesting take"

[mags1234]

@jtahalele It’s his forum. He can say whatever he wants.

I’m sure he’s said his fair share of questionable things but I just don’t think he’s meaning to say what OP proposed he’s saying.

Mark is generally one of the most clear spoken people I’ve ever seen.

He could but that really doesn’t seem to be his style. I’m realizing I’m alone here so maybe I’m the one misinterpreting this but I really do not care either way.

@mags1234 It's our forum we can say what we want.

 

[mags1234]

@teatimebabe28 I realize you thought this was incredibly clever and couldn’t resist the urge to say it but what is your point? I never said you couldn’t say whatever you want.

 

[orthogelical]

@mags1234 Just curious, are you a woman?

 

[denl]

@orthogelical If it is, then they're spineless and an obvious pick-me. If not, then they're definitely an incel, given their posts. Either way, they're riding Mark hard and in love or something, with all the gymnastics they're doing.

 

[luigi289]

@mags1234 No one said Rippetoe can't say whatever he wants.

 

[brianhex]

@mags1234 Then he could just make a clarifying statement instead of deleting all social media comments and that forum post itself, no?

 

[eslombe]

@mags1234 Alright then lmao

 

[tuyetanh]

@eslombe And that apparently the "water is muddied" because he knows "women who would agree". About beating women. Yeah. Mark is one hundred percent in the wrong here, and I'm not easily on the outrage train. This pisses me off though.

@tuyetanh Wtf, yea down women hate women so I'm okay to hate women too.... Not interesting just a BAD TAKE

 

[rafael_]

@eslombe He's saying that women have an inflated ego. Really? REALLY? Let's talk about most men out there, shall we?

 

[eslombe]

@rafael_ Only cause their incely alpha male selves feel threatened by women being strong and speaking their minds lol

I feel for these guys' mothers/sisters/wives/girlfriends (I reckon they have at least one of those).

 

[tuyetanh]

@rafael_ They think we have inflated egos because we don't put up with their inflated egos, that's the hilarious irony!

 

[jenniferscott]

@tuyetanh Boom. Exactly.

 

[jenniferscott]

@eslombe I am curious which group, because I left one about 18 months ago because they would support stuff like this.

 

[eslombe]

@jenniferscott Women Who Lift Weights. Probably the same one as it wouldn't surprise me.

 

[mayello]

@eslombe Ooh fascinating. I’m in that group but don’t scroll Facebook enough to have spotted the post. Definitely looking for it later.

 

[jenniferscott]

@eslombe It won't surprise you to know that indeed was the Factbook group!

 

[uktom]

@brianhex I’m glad this got brought up here because that comment is absolutely vile. I’m so disgusted.

I’m glad I’ve never used Starting Strength. Jesus Christ.

“I know some women who would agree with this” what women would EVER agree with this bullshit?

 

[ignissusignissium]

@uktom I mean I’d honestly be pretty down to get 10 paid weeks off to go to a fun all-women’s sports camp. And I’m assuming by “distend their egos” he means do a bunch of shrooms, contemplate your place in the world, and close out the night with a drum circle around a big bonfire.
