Thereโs a weird trend lately of women filming men โharassingโ them at the gym, where the harassment seems to consist of a dude casually glancing in the womanโs direction or needing a weight that happens to be near her. These social media clout chasers makes me angry for two reasons: the first is that they make real harassment that occurs be discounted.
The second is that it seems pretty unethical to me to film people who are just attempting to work out for social media mojo.
Lady, people look around. Sometimes even in your direction. It happens. Should men all be wearing blinders or blindfolds in the gym? None of the women Iโve seen who are discussing how men just wonโt stop looking at them, dammit, are hot enough to even warrant a first glance much less a second one. And that โ I think โ is a hint of what this is really about.
What theyโre doing is a version of humblebragging: โOh, Iโm just so hot, no one can keep their eyes off me. Look at this dude who glanced at me for 0.0000001 of a second, heโs harassing me because Iโm so extremely hot. Tee-hee.โ
That is all thatโs going on here.
