Naturally, the post soon caught the attention of the internet. And Katherine Powderly, clearly unable to believe her eyes, took a screenshot of the product description and put it on Twitter, saying: “Hey @amazon nice listing #everydaysexism.”

However, it has certainly encouraged us to think about the skewered lens through which we view strength – particularly in terms of gender. This idea that men are always stronger than women is a tired old trope – and one which is, as more and more women take up strength-training – increasingly irrelevant in modern society.

As Poorna Bell noted in her Stylist article on mansplaining at the gym: “The archetype that, by default, women must be physically weak is underpinned by sexist rhetoric used in gyms – for instance, calling the lighter 15kg barbell a ‘ladies’ barbell. Or the push-up when your knees are on the ground are ‘women’s push-ups’ and the rest are ‘normal’ push-ups – and supported by language used by gym instructors.”
