There is actually a subreddit for pointing out the various ways in which 'swole' people face oppression, and although the users are completely tongue-in-cheek with all their posts, it does highlight a lot of very real ways in which assumptions and public attitudes affect the lives of people who choose to devote themselves to cultivating a fit body.
I am hardly 'swole', being a average-build dude who sits in front of a computer for 12+ hours a day, with my only real exercise coming from using a bicycle for commuting, but I do think the subreddit is a great example of how people can channel oppression they face to derive humor and fuel for motivation to 'go harder'.
