Don't be afraid to ask questions! Everyone here always goes on about how people need to be educated about rape, consent, and so one, so anyone who would get mad at you for asking the question isn't worth your time, and should be treated to the "dismiss" button. Good for you for trying to learn more.

I cosign your sentiments, despite my own positive experiences with yoga. I teach yoga to children, and feel really great about what I do, and about my own practice, and your fiance seems like someone doing good work. Yoga can be a wonderful tool. It can be a purely fitness thing (which is basically ok with me if…

I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED that a company run by an asshole who likes to put Ayn Rand quotes on their bags would behave in such a way!

That was my thought as well.

That is a good post. Thanks for the link.

I'm now imagining dismissing trolls mid-rant!

*fingers in the ears so I don't hear the scientology thing* lalalalalalalalalala

And to clarify, the way you describe this particular case is what I meant too, though I tried to be all poetic about it.

Thanks for reminding people of this all over the site today! So far, by the time I get there, trolls are gone, and I am so glad I haven't seen any of it.

Keep this link at the top.

Sure there is. But my point is, and I appreciate that I think you are trying to hear my pov, is that this is not the place and time. We do talk about it.
