How do I deal with men telling me I "can't be strong"/saying "muscles aren't feminine"?

Like??? Why do they even say this shit?!?

I started going to the gym recently, and I love it!! My depression, anxiety and insomnia has gotten way better.

I got into weight stuff recently, to build my arms and legs. And even though I cant see a ton, there's already some definition. And i feel way more confident in myself. And i deffo want to more build more!

But... I have to deal with all these men!! When I'm at the gym, I get looks from the dudes there when i go to the weight rack or leg press. And i cop so many snarky comments!! Mainly from my family. "Why do you want to do that to yourself? It's not nice for women." "You'll look weird." "Oh yeah? Arm wrestle me then?" "What? Do you want to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger?".

SHUT UPPP!!!! WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH??!?!

Why are people like thisss?! Are the jealous or just misogynistic??

But yeah, I just wanted to rant a bit lol. And i want to know if anyone else deals with type of stuff?? And what to do about it??
