Under the rules the feminists make, you can!

Everyone is included and welcome :P

Even if you were a convicted rapist, you can identify as a woman and get sent to a female prison and rape more women !

El Dorado has had a women's only fitness place real years now. It's not a traditional gym but classes in spin and some other stuff I think. It was after Moosai's but before KFC on the northern side of the EMR.

i'm sure in the west also has women's only stuff long time now.

I don't mind a gym where vabbing doesn't occur.
Women only gym: Female empowerment
Men only gym: Male oppression.

Women crave attention from men, that women only gym won't last long as they don't want attention from other women. Again that woman complaining on TikTok for a woman only gym probably had bad experience with the men at her existing gym that she deems undesirable.

Again, not all women crave attention. Many just want to get their gains in and leave without being harassed and pestered.

Allyuh fellas not around too many women or something? Many women even dress in loose clothing just so their bodies don’t print out for thirstmen to be gaping and approaching. Many women go very early to get away from the annoying crowd.

Lmao @ allyuh fellas who think that all women crave attention from them….and it’s always the ugly looking fellas too. Hear na, it really is pathetic and petty how these women intimidate and affect allyuh fellas in this way and more than half aren’t even interested in allyuh.

Go to the gym, focus, mind your business, be respectful, understand the meaning of NO.

A man has sued a woman for £1.9million in Singapore over 'emotional trauma' after she refused to be his girlfriend following the pair's four-year friendship.

K Kawshigan, a director at drone company D1 Racing, filed two lawsuits against Nora Tan Shu Mei after she rejected him, alleging her actions damaged his 'stellar reputation' and caused him to lose at least five business partnerships.

Ms Tan has filed a counter-suit in which she is seeking money that she says she spent on securing her home from Mr Kawshigan and on counselling sessions.

The woman says she had to install a digital door viewer, an alarm sensor and a smart video doorbell to protect herself from the unwanted suitor, and is seeking about £900 in total to cover the costs of the equipment and future counselling.

Just want to say a big Thank You to Dr. Hosein's article in yesterday's Newsday. As a 'soft man' myself, it is good to see women and feminists standing up for us as well.

Commentary
Return of the 'soft man'
Gabrielle Hosein 2 Days Ago

20294999-683x1024.jpg


DR GABRIELLE HOSEIN

CARNIVAL cannot pass without calypso and soca flinging up issues of gender and sexuality.

Patrice Robert’s tribute to Penguin comes at a highly contested moment in the negotiation of contemporary manhood, in a region transformed by Caribbean feminist struggle for social justice and a male backlash which retributively accuses women of becoming too powerful.

Yet, feminist transformation also made it possible to speak positively about men’s emotions and allowing boys to cry, men’s emotional fragility under the rigid mask of manhood, and men as human beings who embody qualities of gentleness as well as strength. In this context, there are complex, contradictory and even problematic meanings in engaging Penguin’s Soft Man today.

Much has been written about this 1984 Calypso Monarch winner which documents the threatened status of the erect penis or phallus, or stickman’s bois, as the ultimate representation of manhood and its dominance over women.

Such dominance included a division of household roles into masculine and feminine, such that a soft man was also undesirable because of his failure to live up to an ideal of tough masculinity, instead becoming associated with the emotional and domestic responsibilities expected of women.

In calypso, the threat to the phallus and its sexual potency was frequently portrayed in terms of an emasculating female demand, power and sexuality. Indeed, softness was a kind of death or castration, leaving men aberrant and unwanted. This became particularly risky in a changing world where women were becoming more educationally and occupationally dominant, sexually assertive, difficult to subordinate and unwilling to settle.

read more..
As the doyen of calypso scholarship, Prof Gordon Rohlehr, has written, fulfilment of manhood was about having a sturdier bois than rivals, sexually satisfying women with the strength of one’s “boy,” and fulfilling the superior role of a warrior-king-cocksman.

Thus, Penguin’s advice was that women don’t like a man who is easily ruled and advantaged. Instead, a man must “lead/supply all his woman’s needs/never let his yard get weeds/dig the soil and plant the seeds.” In other words, be macho, head the family, be a provider, have frequent sex, and prove virility through impregnation.

In Patrice’s 2023 version, she is a glitteringly hypersexualised and strong black woman surrounded by sweaty, bare-chested, muscular brown and black men, some of whom are soldering in a machine shop while sparks fly. Presumably, this representation of working-class masculinity depicts what remains hard and desirable, though she seems derisive of them all.

Repeatedly, she is shown hanging by her arms while a macho man (or one with such ambitions) throws punches (that do not land) at her stomach while she smirks at his impotence. There’s sexual harassment leading to a woman lashing down a (short)man, who slapped her bottom, while other men laugh at him. The soft man is the one who should have come to her defence, but meekly surrendered, even in a fight he could have won.

The song’s lyrics declare that bacchanal-loving, thirsty, irresponsible, promiscuous, poor, violent and garrulous men are all equally scorned. An incompetent man who makes a woman change a tyre is labelled soft. Patrice further details her defiance of men who tell her what to do by doing the opposite and telling them to hush.

It’s reminiscent of Sojourner Truth’s 1851 “Ain’t I a Woman” speech when Patrice declares, “I name Woman.” It’s also in the tradition of women calypsonians. In Reddock’s 2004 collection, Rohlehr writes of Calypso Rose’s “persistent rejection” of lovers “who drink heavily, beat women, indulge in rough sex that is close to rape, and, in addition, exist like parasites off the earnings of the working woman.”

Similarly, Patrice lists men whom women love, including those who rough up, cuss and beat them. She distances herself from such enfeebled women and unsatisfactory men, declaring her superiority through what Rohlehr describes as the derisive, “mocking scrutiny of a woman’s eye.”

Here, Patrice is a stickfighter shaming men of broken bois although they comprise different characteristics from Penguin’s original. She is commentator, protester, “rebel against male sexism” and “confident celebrant of her own sexuality…now open in the challenge she poses to the old patriarchal structures” even as she wields its stereotypes.

To return to Rohlehr’s brilliant phrasing, “What phallus, however well-inflated or intentioned, would not quail beneath such withering and contemptuous scrutiny?” Such withering, or an inability to withstand a “running report” on the quality of manhood’s performance, renders a man soft, unsuccessful and out-of-step in a 21st century, gendered gayelle. Such ongoing contestation is the story this calypso tells.

She's talking about men who don't need to minimize and pretend that they don't have emotions.

You being soft and looking to rationalize your short comings is something completely different.

this is the 2023 soca (titled "soft man") that Dr. Hosein wrote the article about



watch the soca video, dat chit disgusting. That soca superficially presents to be female empowerment but just reinforces outdated and harmful gender roles. Patrice continuing the long national history of dotish socially-destructive soca lyrics. That you Dr. Hosein for calling it out in your Newsday column.
