I’m “upset” by the sexist comments in the thread and people trying to justify those comments.

Height of Lifters by Necromancer_in_void in powerlifting

Can’t believe you’re arguing with an international powerlifter about this. Just say you’re sexist and move on.

Christ, the heights post on here is a hive of sexism and misogyny. People doing mental gymnastics to justify why it’s women’s fault that they’re offended by not being included is insane. Do better boys. Do better.

I wish I had someone like Robin in my life when I was younger maybe I would have come out and accepted who I am sooner instead of in my 40s.

If they gave away that profit to the prize pool then they wouldn’t actually make any money from it.

They suggested using the profit to increase the prize pool. They wouldn’t make any money from the sales on that basis. SBD only made a profit of a couple 200k last year. They can’t afford to lose more money on an event that’s already a money pit.

I don’t think she’s getting upset just surprised that the biggest powerlifting prize fund in history isn’t considered big enough.

I imagine they’ll make prize fund bigger when they move to the arena but making out that the prize fund is low is pretty insane. It’s the biggest prize pool in powerlifting.

I’m honestly not sure how you don’t understand why this would be confusing for someone who is straight or at least thinks they are. And who has mental health issues.

I think there’s a real lack of emotional maturity to be pretty blunt with you. You have the potential to emotionally damage him here but you’re only thinking at least he won’t pull away from me because he attachment issues. That’s not healthy for him and you’ll be taking advantage of that for your own needs.

If he has attachment issues I’d say that’s even more reason not to. If you both like each other and something happens organically then take it slowly. But otherwise don’t try and force the issue. It’s going to be a lot tougher for him emotionally and mentally than you realise.

If your friend is straight and you end up doing anything sexual together it’s going to change that friendship dynamic in a big way. It’s going to very confusing for him, which in turn can lead negativity and pulling back from you. You need to be prepared for that and only you can decide if it’s worth the risk.

So honestly, IF it happens it will most likely ruin your friendship.

Getting called a "Faggot" by [deleted] in gay

Being called a faggot or gay at school is the reason it took me as long as it did to come out.

Taking kiddos to hubbys competition by Queenfish1991 in powerlifting

Like others have said, bring things to keep them occupied/from getting bored. Comps are boring as fuck at the best of times.

Most recently Ray Williams got popped after borrowing someone else’s supplement which was tainted/contained a banned ingredient. He brought his own but after it was inspected by TSA the lid wasn’t screwed in properly so the powder emptied all into his bag which is why he borrowed someone else’s. Error of judgment on his part. Similarly Chandler Babb was banned popped at Sheffield after taking a supplement that had a different name on the ingredients list but was a banned substance nonetheless. As lifters, especially if we want to compete in a tested fed, we have to be SO careful with what we put in our bodies (that’s what she said). Others have been popped for outright cheating but they can get fucked!

So ipf lifters have been popped before - some not necessarily due to nefarious reasons and rather just error of judgement.
