The Professionals Of Twitter Clap Back At An Entrepreneur Who Thinks That Abs On Women Look “Gross”
Interview
Since when are abs not attractive? It seems like entrepreneur and writer Richard Cooper believes that tight abdominal muscles are solely the domain of men. After he shared his opinion that women training to have ripped abs “gross,” the professionals of Twitter called him out for his tweet and roasted him.
Some of these comebacks are so scathing, Cooper might’ve needed to go to the internet ICU. Have a look below, dear Readers. Be sure to share your thoughts about this Twitter thread in the comments below and what you think of Cooper’s opinion. Which of the professionals’ comebacks was your personal top fave?
Historian James Fell confirmed to Bored Panda that he initiated the “righteous dog pile” on Cooper with his post. In Fell’s opinion, Cooper may have presented the opinion in his tweet as fact because “he likely believes it and because it is part of his persona/brand.” According to Fell, Cooper “champions such toxic masculinity as a product” that he then sells on to “pathetic young men who feel cheated” that life didn’t fulfill their every fantasy.

“Cooper presents himself as the ultimate male who has it all because he was a ‘real man’ who took life by the balls,” historian Fell said that the entrepreneur presents himself as an ‘alpha male’ that other men buy into.
In Fell’s opinion, people like Cooper absolutely ought to be confronted rather than ignored. “We won’t change the minds of Richard Cooper or his most ardent followers, but we challenge the toxic message to show the people that Richard victimizes are not alone, that they have support. And we also show those who are on the fence about those toxic ideas that those ideas are indeed toxic and we can sway them away from it and toward a kinder and more inclusive way of thinking,” the historian shared.
“As the famous 19th-century philosopher and British MP John Stuart Mill said, ‘Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing,'” Fell said, adding that he’s not one to sit idly by and do nothing.

We all have abdominal muscles, but not everyone’s are visible. Abs start showing up as we lose weight and reduce our body fat percentage. The less fat we have in relation to our muscles and bodymass, the more “ripped” our abs look. However, living a healthy life means living in between the two extremes of having too little or too much body fat. Less isn’t always more in this case, but too much can be dangerous to our health, too.
In a world ravaged by the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year, it makes little sense for Cooper to suggest that men don’t find abs on women attractive. If somebody’s abs are well-defined, that means that they’re not in the overweight or obese categories, BMI-wise. It also means that they have the discipline to eat and train well. The CDC explains that obesity worsens the outcomes from Covid-19, so it’s in everyone’s interest to lose a few pounds during the lockdowns.
“Having obesity may triple the risk of hospitalization due to a COVID-19 infection. Obesity is linked to impaired immune function. Obesity decreases lung capacity and reserve and can make ventilation more difficult,” the CDC warns.
“More than 900,000 adult COVID-19 hospitalizations occurred in the United States between the beginning of the pandemic and November 18, 2020. Models estimate that 271,800 (30.2%) of these hospitalizations were attributed to obesity,” the CDC adds that obesity is a very important factor when it comes to the novel coronavirus.
Reducing weight can be done by eating a healthy diet and getting lots of exercise. This is easier said than done, whoever, with so many of us are working from home and packing on the pounds. We’re moving less, we’re constantly anxious, and because a large chunk of our entertainment now is Netflix and junk food. So if anybody’s training for ripped abs, more power to you! In these difficult times, it’s an inspiration, not a drawback like some might suggest.
And here’s what some other social media users have been saying about the thread
The problem with Richard is not that he doesn't like abs on a woman, but that he thinks that means no other man would. It's a very weird way to be.

Yeah, I was trying to hold back my laughter until that one but then ... LMAO XD

Rather odd how strange men think that the opinion of their boner counts for anything regarding what women choose to do to their bodies or appearance. In case there was any shred of doubt left: it doesn't. Just because you place your d**k at the centre of your universe doesn't mean the rest of us do, Karl.
I have never understood those men who think that just because they personally don't like something in a woman, that ALL men don't like the thing.. I feel assured in saying there's quite a few men who love women with abs, because I've met them....

King here. I can categorically inform you that none of my subjects would want you. We may be able to find you a suitable match among the orcs, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
Mother of 2 here : not even my kids made so much caca in 5 years, as the amount coming out of Richard mouth.
Lazy gal here. I don't have or want visible abs, but I would rather have abs than have Richard.
OOF RICHARD ARE YOU READING THIS CAUSE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Female here, some of us, don’t give a fudge what males ( or any gender ) want us to do with our body’s
Child author here. Not a single female character in literature that I or anyone else has written, not even the most desperate and impulsive one, would ever want Richard Cooper.
Girl with visible abs here. No one has ever mistaken me for a male and my boyfriend finds me sexy. When he's not around I find myself and my strong core very sexy and useful.
Quick question, how long did it take for you to get visible abs? And what did you do? I'm thinking of getting into training because my abs and core are weak AF and I could use a few pointers.

Oh look it is a bunch red flags sewn into the shape of a person. This is the absolute best comeback and I am going to use it.
There's already a nickname for Richard that is used as an insult.

What I find stupid is that he thinks that he speaks for *all* men. In reality, he only speaks for those who should never be around another person.
its important not to ignore richard coopers. explain to him, that his opinions are his own ones, although it seems to me like a mental health issue, if men behave like richard coopers, its a widespread and important topic. explain to him, that humans developed and we are going to leave patriarchy behind and gender-centric society.
I want abs. Will never have them but triple kudos for the ladies who do. Try on a black leather crop top in my honor.
Daughter here. Can confirm that nobody ha everybody has wanted you for a father. Or a husband.
Astrologer here. He has his Mars (planet of sexuality), Mercury (planet of intellect) and Jupiter (planet of expansion) conjunct/together. He is a huge d**k-head.
Can we do that? Can we vote to expel someone from the human race? Can we nominate people?
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURN. Someone needs some BURN ointment for all of those 3rd degree BURNS.
Each comment for funny then the one before. So glad I'm home and could really really really lough out loud until tears.
Who wants to make bets on what Richard’s body looks like? I’m guessing he’s at least 30 pounds overweight with a beer belly. He’s intimidated by people in better shape than him.
Cat here. Even I don’t want to throw up on your carpet. We have standards.
Surveyor here. I've done many measurements both interior and exterior and none of the afforementioned measurements were smaller than Richard's pe-is. Many, however, were smaller than his ego.
Like them, don't like them, but if you're going to be a jerk you deserve the backlash. I'd also like to add: more often than not, that flat tummy is not just being thin, it's a combination of thin and abs. Abs can help your hips and breasts look more pronounced. That said, when it comes to my own body I don't actually care as long as I'm healthy.
So Richard cant have his opinion? Like it or not its his right just like its the right to reply to him.
I 100% support attacking this guy and laughing about it. The world would be a better place if people like him are shut down hard and fast. He didn't say something "stupid", he said something unacceptable.

I don't think that anyone cares about changing his mind. People like him don't change their minds, but they can be shamed into shutting up, for the benefit of the rest of us.
Load More Replies... I think "gross" is rather harsh. I also think it's totally ok for you or for Richard to not find that particular body type attractive. There are plenty of people who do think it's attractive. People like different things. The thing Richard got his butt hairs singed over is stating his preference as the preference of all men throughout history. Plus, it seems he may assume that women should care what he thinks as spokesman for All Men Throughout History.
