It is pretty sexist. Women will be considerably more likely to fit into the 20% discount on average no matter what. It takes a very small male to do the same. Just sounds like a way to circumvent sex discrimination laws, though who knows if Myanmar has those.

I dunno, women are shorter than men, but I'm not sure they're any slimmer (or wider)

Edit: But yeah, if they are, then another gate for the women with bars spaced for them would make it fair.

They are even accounting for height. Less muscle mass. Also women are shorter on average even so, and either way it comes out to about the same thing. The women would need a separate set of gate sizes to be truly fair, since they'd be smaller on average whether due to height or less muscle.

This is a weight loss challenge that's fun,funny and worth it. You get a yummy reward and a sense of accomplishment and pride.

Thanks. Can you imagine? Especially as the discount goes up. You can just see it now someone pumping their fist going,"Yes! I made it to 20% going for 100%!" :)

What does this have to do with race?

In the US the Asians are a lot thinner than average US men. I think about 80% have overweight.

Not yet, get the critical race theorists on the case! They can use their degrees to create ever more racism so that they can pretend their degrees have a use. Not a societally beneficial one unfortunately.
