Fitness culture has become toxic on many fronts. There's a whole subculture of women who dress in super-tight clothing and film themselves as they work out. When a man happens to glance at them, they shame him by slapping a video up online and claiming he's some kind of pervert. Joey Swoll (obviously not his real name) has been combatting these narcissistic twats for a while now. Here's one of his videos.
Swoll notes that these women don't help the real victims of real harassment by posting these stupid videos. Amala Ekpunobi notes that dressing in a way that leaves nothing to the imagination is also not helping. Obviously, a man who does more than just glance is a creep, and full-on rape is never a woman's fault no matter how provocatively she dresses, but come on, ladies: maybe try dressing more conservatively at the gym to minimize stares. And don't assume a single glance means the guy is eye-raping you.
