When i try to share my controller with my wife she always comments about how sweaty it is. I am constantly sweat shamed.....
Also^^^^^^^ I get fart shamed too and breath shamed when i drink coffee (which usually causes farts too). She does not do it affectionately. I think I need to start a go fund me for all this shaming I receive.
I don't give a shit though, my hands sweat and I know it

I think that fit/muscle shaming is in response to those terrible people who post nothing but shaming and fitness memes on Facebook and tell everyone that they need to "BE ALPHA, LIFT EVERYDAY, JUICE EVERYDAY, GYM EVERYDAY BRO, MENS RIGHTS BRO". Shaming in general is kinda pathetic though.
The difference being the former tries to elevate it into some kind of "issue" under the belief that nobody should be made to feel bad ever by another person. In reality if I trip and fall in a cafeteria I might be embarrassed by people laughing at me but I'm not gonna go write an article about clumsy shaming.

My wife and I fight to produce the stinkiest farts. She tends to use the dutch oven approach. I fart into a fan that blows in her direction.
I crop-dust my wife while she's eating.
I recall signing up in a job searching site, and had some "job hunting advice" or some bullshit like that.
Apparently, HR doesn't like if you walked out in scorching heat and got sweaty as a result, it's "unprofessional".
Well, fuck that, sometimes the parking spot is far away from the office, and I have to come to interviews in dress shirt/pants at 40°C.

You can wait to get home to do that? You're a goddamn hero.
I'm glad I can do all of my workouts at home, for just this reason. When I am done working out, I am absolutey drenched in sweat to the point that it looks like I just stepped out of the shower...except I smell.

bullshit.

So really, they're shaming because they're jealous an 'mirin?
Some shame is healthy. It can be an effective tool for some unwanted behavior.

Yeah. Open door policy at work means I can't really stick my hands down my pants.

Seriously - why does the Guardian, one of the better UK major papers, allow this shite in it.
As someone in the comments said - that isn't 'shaming' - that is just akward attempts at small talk. And also noted that although the interaction was isolated between 2 women, it is somehow sexist, and somehow an issue.

OMG, semi-awkward, meaningless conversation served with a "tight smile"? What is this world coming to when any person thinks they can make small talk while we both wait on a line?
Is there any doubt that this person would also feel comfortable writing an article about how people are so rude because all they do is stare at their phones and drown out the world?

Ha, now days. Sickening.
This sensitive-shaming has got to stop.

What the hell can you say to this?
Yep, that's me. I have to wear a hat/headband otherwise I cannot see for all the sweat coming down. Treadmills are pretty much completely drenched when I'm done with them and I only feel a little bad for the people getting on after me (I wipe my shit down when I'm done though unlike SOME PEOPLE TERRY)
That's what I was thinking. It's not so much that there is a plethora of new ways to "shame" people. It's that peoples skin has become so goddamn thin that any mild sign of disapproval is now an insurmountable, heinous act of "shaming".

I'm an extra sweaty dude and it's actually a huge problem. Especially in job interviews or other situations where people might think I'm nervous or something because my face is soaked.
From reading the quote in the OP, I understood literally *nothing* about the transpired events. The only thing I understood is that she's reasonable enough to drink her coffee black.
Read the article though and it made more sense. Still
I gotta agree with this, really.
Know that feel, I tend to get really stressed out whenever I'm leaving for important meetings and whatnot, so my face just starts dripping until I get outside. Then it kinda stops, but the damage is already done

I sweat a ton. If anyone gave me shit for it I'd get as close to them as possible.

I sweat like crazy when it's hot, humid, or if I work out. Loves me some AC. Hate poorly ventilated bars. There are morbidly obese guys who sweat less than me, so I know that feeling.
The way the article was written though, it seems like the other woman was simply trying to start up a conversation, and the writer flipped out from self consciousness.

That's what it sounded like to me.

That's a weird selection to quote for the OP.
Honestly that didn't seem like shaming at all, just awkward conversation that no one should think much of at all.

Pigs don't even sweat. It's why they roll around in the mud, to cool down.

blank-shaming is a thing now. If they can market it, there's at least a couple commercial filled news days out of it.

I think people are searching too hard for issues to get worked up over or something. I've never heard of or encountered this stigma that women aren't supposed to sweat... especially when they're in exercise clothing. Hell, I'm pretty sure I've heard a lot more instances of people mocking others in gym clothes being leisurely instead of active.

I can't tell if this is a parody or not.
