Viral Video About Gym That's Catered Specifically To Women Sparks Outrage From Men As 'Segregation'

TikToker Heather Huesman went viral for sharing her experience at a women's only gym called Blush Fitness in Overland Park, Kansas.

Now, men are angrily typing in the comments it's "segregation."


With over 1.7 million likes on TikTok, @heatherhuesman gave a tour of the gym, showing a glimpse as to why it is a safer space for women who want to work out in peace.

@heatherhuesman

The BEST GYM! We need these everywhere, we feel so safe and comfortable going to the gym, gonna be my new favorite spot!🦋💕 #fyp #TikTokGGT #blush

The video text explained the various reasons Huesman explained this to be her "new favorite spot."

She started with the outside of the building and how to get in:

"You can't see through the windows."
"It's open 24/7 to women only."
"The front door is locked so only women and members can get in."

Huesman showed a sign on the wall stating when the male employees will be present:

"They let you know when men will be in the building."

Along with plenty of open machines, clean facilities, and open space for various different workouts, there's even free feminine products in the bathrooms.

In an interview with Buzzfeed, Huesman explained why she shared her experience with TikTok:

"I decided to share my experience because ever since the first time I went into Blush, I felt a sense of relief."
"It felt like a breath of fresh air walking into a gym with no men!"

She explained why she prefers an all-women's gym:

"I definitely feel safer in an all-women's gym."
"I personally like to wear tight clothing because it is easier to work out in, and I don't have to worry about men taking photos of me without my permission, or worry about men making me feel uncomfortable while I'm there."

In fact, videos of men being creepy at the gym have gone viral on TikTok before, showing the reason women are uncomfortable is because of men's behavior.

Unfortunately, men had a lot to say about this women only gym, with most calling it "segregation."

But for all the comments about segregation and inequality, there were plenty of people coming back at them, pointing out the flaws in that argument.

Heather Huesman shared her thoughts on the "segregation" comments:

"I don't think the gym is segregation at all. I honestly love the idea of an all-men's gym as well."
"I think if someone is mad that there's an all-women's gym, it's because they want women [in their co-ed gym] for a reason."
"Whatever makes people feel comfortable working out at a gym is what should be done."

Sexual harassment is still a pervasive issue for women in 2021. This gym was created in response to that gender violence.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all had our fair share of carpool karaoke and maybe even imagined our car as our own personal recording studio.

But TikToker and Instagrammer Kaitlynn McCutcheon may have gotten too into her performance of Britney Spears' classic, "Hit Me Baby, One More Time," when the road and her car both said, "Bet."

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
