Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its relatable and humorous take on gendered expectations and body image, using a common fitness activity as a point of contention.

Summary

"That's for girls"

Transcript

A man asked me what is my recovery routine because I look really fit and he's trying to be like me, yada yada. I can do this stair master a few times a week. And he said, oh, the stair master is for women. I'm not trying to do all that. To which I responded, well, your build like a woman, so it'll be perfect for you. You can either unbig your back and get on that stair master, or keep walking around like you got a BBL. Your choice. How dare you say something so stupid like that to me? Oh, well, that's for girls. I'm not doing that. Well, your shape like your mom.
