The aerobics instructor TRIED. He wouldn't listen. And I'm not challenging anyone to a grip contest, since the one guy I got into it with ended up giving me a trauma sprain that prevented me from using my right hand for about 2 weeks. That would be STUPID to do before a physical activity requiring me to use that hand.

It also would have been the perfect time for the men to say, "We're not physically capable of doing this", but they didn't argue, either. Gender discrimination takes many forms, and impacts everyone, whichever side of the fence they're on.
