How did “watching other people exercise, competitively, while you stuff your face with excessive calories while sitting on a couch” become a"manly" activity
That portrayal you describe is marketing and nothing more. It’s similar to hating Christmas because you don’t like the Hallmark Channel. Many, many, many, many women watch sports and if you go to a game it’s about half women. Watching sports is and has always been a family activity.
Turned mine in long ago, I don’t like beer and sports.

I never had one - and not liking beer and sports might’ve played a role in that. Never missed it either. Who issues those man cards anyhow?
