Womens should GTFO from Sasuke and ANW. It's my personal opinion, and i don't think that i will ever cheer for women, who are trying to complete course which is designed for men. Why you can't see this in my opinion? They have 0 % chance to complete the course, why they even bother to try it? It's wasting others time and everyone is hyped if some women passes 1st stage. Hurray, then comes 2nd, maybe 3rd but 4th? Lol never.

Yeah, it's an entertainment show, I just wanted to make it clear that if it was a genuine sporting event, women have no chance and should not bother competing Yes I was known as a misoginist by the girls in my school- funnily enough none of them ever hated me for it. And from above there's nothing to mock- Miksush, Kargaroo and I haven't said anything outrageously false. Also no one has pointed out that the real scandal here- the fact that ANW isn't really empowering women at all. NBC is only allowing pretty little girls with toned figures to compete. All these "what's your excuse" commercials showcasing them is nasty bodyshaming for overweight women. You sure about that? I REALLY doubt *none* of them hated you if they also openly referred to you as a misogynist. Nor do I believe you being some staunch defender of body positivity. We can comment on casting biases in terms of body type, but don't hide behind that, especially in such a condescending tone. Frankly, I'm not surprised you've been called one. See, I am neither threatened, bitter, emasculated nor contemptuous by or of the idea that a woman has a better chance of getting a wildcard than I or any other man of the show. Or anything in general. Because I understand the difference between equality and equity (or as you would call it, 'preferential treatment') and how you need both and not just one of them. Womens should GTFO from Sasuke and ANW. It's my personal opinion, and i don't think that i will ever cheer for women, who are trying to complete course which is designed for men. Why you can't see this in my opinion? They have 0 % chance to complete the course, why they even bother to try it? It's wasting others time and everyone is hyped if some women passes 1st stage. Hurray, then comes 2nd, maybe 3rd but 4th? Lol never. This isn't a matter of not being able to see your opinion, we know what your opinion is. It's just a s**t one. Based off ratings, it's pretty clear it's not wasting people's time. In fact, it'll likely help more than hinder. Just in general: If your attitudes about this were used towards decisions of the show, the show would've died without a winner. 75 people qualified, 3 women being a part of that. That's 0.04% of the field. You're basically balking at the idea of wanting to have a few more women in the lineup despite the fact that at best, the lineup is 80/20 men percentage with the wildcards. And 80/20 is generous. If 80% can't do well on the course, then maybe they need to step it up, too. You know what the definition of privilege is? A competitor fails Stage 1 four years in a row and because he reached Stage 3 FIVE years ago, he should be deserving of a wildcard? If that was anyone other than David, no one would be clamoring for him. That's why I saw using David as an example incredibly disingenuous. His crappy treatment by casting was not because of women. If this is trolling, congratulations, you succeeded, but remember you're on a forum that REALLY doesn't like that. If you're serious, I feel for and even are genuinely concerned for any women that have to tolerate your existence. I should have locked this thread when OP left but I went against better judgment and clearly, I was right all along. Damn gut, always going against you when I shouldn't. I'm ending this.
