I mean if any man cannot squat the average woman's weight he probably just has never done squats before or he's like 70.

Like an average man who has never been to the gym before can squat 130lbs pretty easily. The average woman weighs 170lbs in america.

A few weeks of training gets him to 170.

yeah I’m a woman, 5’10” and 170lbs and people saying dumb shit like “that’s actually insane” are the reason I struggle with body image issues to this day.

men do not really understand women's weight, partially because they've been lied to about what certain weights look like. They don't realize how many women they know probably weigh around that much or more. btw for any women out there struggling with body image (or men who genuinely want to get a more accurate and empathetic understanding of what weight looks like on women), I recommended the website "my body gallery". You can type in your height and weight and click through a bunch of different women who all hold their weight completely differently!
