Gym bias

[Lovely Rose]

Hello Everyone,

Today I decided to try a new gym instead of my current one, long story short, asking for the monthly prices in the new one and I found out that there is a difference between men's and women's!!! It's like 14$ a month for men while it's only 8$ a month for women!! it just made me think that in my close-minded society, if I came as Rose would I get the lower price? I don't think so.

Just wanted to share this little thought with you.

Love.
Rose.

Its only 14 bucks suck it up.
Your option is stop going and just walk or jog.

You have to ask yourself why there would be the difference?

I would think they're trying to get more female clients.

I know my wife and daughters prefer the "women's only" gyms as they don't have to worry about all the men ogling them when they exercise.

I would think that would be illegal. They don't charge different rates for white and black people do they?

Have you tried joining a gym at a University/College ? The only price difference would be if your were an alumni or public (alumni fees are cheaper).

We are never happy... by we I mean just in general. Women, and some men have difficulty with women having inequality, then when women get a discount of any kind, then. Omg, ugh, sooo unfair...

Plus, men make an unholy mess everywhere they go. They need a legion of people cleaning up after them. This costs more.
The cleaners also have to wear haz-mat suits to get thru the Axe body spray.
