Being a female personal trainer can be difficult at times. “I was in session as a personal trainer working with a woman who was training to compete in high-level weightlifting competitions.” This trainer clearly was in the middle of training a client when a guy decided to interrupt their session. He walked up to the two while smiling. “He then, without any prior discussion wants to know if “we ladies” wanted him to show us how to lift weights. Before we can respond, he starts in on how to do certain exercises and bragging about how much he can lift.” As if that wasn’t bad enough, he went on: “to top it off, he tells me he is a personal trainer and, if we want, he’ll give us free PT sessions. Being one of the three PTs at the gym at the time, I was surprised he wanted to claim to be a personal trainer. I was even wearing a shirt that said “Personal Trainer”.”

This person took her car in to get the winter tires off. She decided to get it done at one of those drive-thru places to get it done quickly. Well, a guy working there came out to tell her he would drive her car in. “Then slowly, like I’m an idiot, mansplains that I would have to drive my car just so to get it over the hydraulics and that there are big holes in the floor for getting under cars that aren’t raised up. The gist of his mansplaination being, that it would be hard for a little woman like me to drive my car into the shop.” They finished up with the person before her. Ten minutes pass and they still haven’t brought her car inside. “I look out the waiting room window and see all six guys that are working there crowded around my car outside. Now, I started to get really nervous thinking something is wrong with my car.” She figured they’d tell her if something was wrong, so she patiently waited – for another 15 minutes. When a new person pulls up behind her car, the guy from before walks up to her. He then politely asks her if she could drive her car onto the hydraulics for them. All 6 men working there didn’t know how to drive a stick. “So, after mansplaining to me that it would be hard for me to drive my car into the shop, they waited almost half an hour to tell me that not one guy in the shop could even drive my car.”
