NY Times Explains Why Women “Can’t” Do Pullups, Riles Up Strong Women (And Men) Everywhere

Dear NY Times, your article is silly. (And may inadvertently be reinforcing the stereotypes that women can’t (and shouldn’t) expect more of themselves).

I know a few ladies (and fellas) who’d STRONGLY disagree!

Pullups are hard, and yes, maybe a little harder for women. We (shocker) generally have less muscle mass in our arms. You also don’t have to be able to do a pullup to be in crazy shape: plenty of very fit people can’t do pullups. But last time I checked, you don’t need a penis to get your chin to the bar.

The number one reason many women can’t do pullups, as one of the FAB comments explains, is that they don’t and (aren’t taught to) do them. Articles like this reinforce the idea that it’s okay to keep us where we are (swap in the word “pushup” for “pullup” and we’re back where we were 40 years ago). Pullups are MY hardest exercise, but my ability/inability to do them has more to do with practice than my tatas.

I don’t care if you can or can’t do pullups. Or if you want to. I also don’t want you to feel like you SHOULD: it doesn’t matter to me & should not be a testament to your fitness level. But you better believe that if you WANTED to do pullups, you’ve got a cheerleader over here. Totally believe you can. Vagina and all.
