Endorse—my book (A Physical Education coming May 6 to booksellers near you) is only nominally about lifting weights; the real thing it’s about is that the literal moment I stopped trying to follow all the rules to get respect, I learned IMMEDIATELY I wasn’t getting respect—just conditional approval

One reason I think insecure men are threatened by visibly muscular women is:
Men care first and foremost about having the respect and validation of other men.
Women are supposed to be objectified, not respected.
Muscular women attract the respect of other men, which insecure men crave.

Put it up for free, still wont read it.🤭
I do think the argument Karen is making is a bit simplistic.
Some people are just assholes for the sake of being assholes. And will use anything they can to be an asshole.
Oh, and because we don't do things just for appearance and attracting mates?
