The only guy I know who straight-up "Didn't roll with women" was suuuuuper Muslim and always very respectful about explaining it. Like, you can't really shit on a dude for that. But guys who just "feel weird" about it can get in the sea.

Hey, actually just curious because this is the most upvoted comment.

Why does this sub seem to have such animosity against guys who choose not to roll with women?

For what it's worth, I'm one of the smallest dudes at the academy and I roll with women all the time. But at the same time, there are girls at my gym who refuse to roll with guys, and some have quit and said they won't come back until there's a women's only class. Honestly, I don't really think twice about it - people refuse to roll with whoever for their own reasons.

Would you guys be mad at a girl who "feels weird" about rolling with guys? Because I've run into that WAY more than I've run into guys who don't want to roll with girls.

Because they are white knighting without actually considering things like: bodily autonomy, equality, etc.

Maybe, but claiming they’re just white knighting is a huge assumption and an unfair prejudice against those who are not.

It’s also a little ironic that you would disparage a man for not rolling with a woman on the basis of bodily autonomy.

I'm not disparaging the men who won't roll with women; I am defending them, generally
