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

[terbo826]

@meow69 Don't forget drinking a gallon of milk a day. That piece of advice comes up multiple times.

 

[meow69]

@terbo826 That's a great example of his bombastic messaging getting away from him. He's clarified that that approach is for only a certain type of person. Unfortunately he didn't learn the lesson about how the outrageous things he says are understood by others and he continues to say stupid things for attention.

@meow69 Jesus, I'm glad I've given up on that then! Thanks for the summary.

@vanessa2685 Not that it helps with your audiobook problem. But MegSquats has some great advice videos on her YouTube that cover anything/everything he would advise in said book. Just in case you need/want the advice from it.

@ltanhi And Sohee Lee /Soheefit is also really fantastic!

Bonus points to her for getting out of a nasty relationship with not-so-secret misogynist creep Bret Contreras and living her best life!!

 

[teatimebabe28]

@ciacag Sohee Lee's book, Eat. Lift. Thrive. is probably one of the best fitness books I've read. It covers EVERYTHING, and it sets you up to write your own programs and make lasting habits and lifelong changes. And her instagram is awesome and hilarious.

@ltanhi Oh, nice, thanks!!!

@brianhex Does he mean ‘interesting’ as in crazy? Has he said anything else dodgy before?

 

[chig]

@bevinluvwithjesus Earlier this year on his forum somebody wrote this:

"I would appreciate it, if you refrain from using profanity and sexist, racist slurs, unless you're trying to reinforce an negative opinion of LEO's"

and Mark replied:

"do you know where you are? Profanity, and sexist and racist slurs are most of whet we do here."

 

[tryingnottofall]

@bevinluvwithjesus I've heard of him saying other misogynistic and racist comments before. It's not a one off, or case of misinterpretation.

 

[brianhex]

@bevinluvwithjesus No, in a "I support that" way.. According to comments to the IG post, this is not his first dodgy comment. I haven't followed him in the past but for many who did, this is not surprising at all. This thread is another shitfest.

@brianhex

This thread is another shitfest.

He also labeled that "an interesting exchange". WTF. Not interesting at all. I feel bad for the lady who wrote in.

 

[vtnguyen123]

@takkula Ugh

 

[johngrimm]

@takkula Ewww that thread is incel-o-clock

 

[kolsen]

@takkula Jesus Christ that is fucking infuriating

 

[prepperoni]

@kolsen I'm horrified. The replies that suggest men don't know the difference between sexual harassment and appropriate jokes is gut wrenching

 

[bevinluvwithjesus]

@brianhex I seee now. Wow Douchey McDouche Bag.
