Gym bro talk has to be one of the dumbest things ever (lemmygrad.ml)

Like, why does a gym attract so many dickheads. I'm just there minding my own damn business when I overhear dudes talking about how they are 'going to get so much pussy for lifting' and whatever dumb shit. It's a constant stream of male garbage coming from all around you. My fault for not wearing headphones I guess.

Is that why you lift? Really? Are most gym bros just terminally insecure man children? Fucking hell man. Who unironically talks like that? I know I'm probably in a bubble as a sober, vegan communist but still.

I misinterpreted their comment and wasn’t really looking at the big picture.

and letting those desires clash with others' humanities.

I don’t think it’s an inherently dehumanizing phrase in every context but maybe I’m just being needlessly contentious. I agree that it’s not something anyone with social awareness would say

Can you give an example where using the phrase "getting pussy" isn't inherently dehumanizing?

Would you say getting good dick is dehumanizing? I understand that gender dynamics are different in our patriarchal franework but in a vacuum it is not inherently dehumanizing in any significant sense

Both of those statements are literally dehumanizing, are you sure you know what that word means?
