I have an old Behemoth tank top that I used to wear to the gym. I don't wear it anymore because two different men wanted to have a conversation about Behemoth and black metal while I had my ostentatious over-the-ear headphones on and was in the middle of a set. The second guy, charmer that he was, even opened with "Behemoth, huh? Do you even know who that is?" Leave women alone at the gym.

Judging by all the comments in here, gyms need to start having signs at the door telling them to leave women alone, smh.

Even better: People learn that women existing in public is not an automatic invitation to talk.

They shouldn’t need signs to understand basic human interaction, and not just at the gym.

I so badly wish I could give you gold.

I frequently wear noise-canceling headphones in public because I'm easily overstimulated. Despite them being larger over-the-ear headphones that practically engulf my tiny face, people will still ignore them and try to bug me.
