The app for independent voices

Some of the observations here about what entitlement men expect at the gym are true, but the claim they should be quieter when lifting is stupid to the point of being comical. I’ve been lifting for 30 years in various modalities and I’m sorry to tell you grunting through exertion is normal across both sexes under sufficient load or strain. This is true for physiological reasons among many, many others. Trying to police this part of how men (people, really) lift is borderline misandry and unfortunately makes accepting some of the other reasonable demands here harder to take seriously.
