Also anecdata, but I’ve been a yoga teacher and also led teacher trainings and on average have had way more issues preparing male teachers than female teachers. On every count. Not taking directions, lecturing, arguing, lack of empathy for students’ physical and mental limitations, talking too much about themselves…

I’m so creeped out by the image of an instructor spooning a class member in child’s pose. Uh-uh, nope. That’s not how you do it. I’ve had instructors use their hands on my lower back to deepen the stretch into the hips, but I can’t think of an instructional justification for full body contact like that. Plus, an…

I guess in every sexual assault story there’s always one victim blaming asshole. Today, it was you!

This is quite a belittling comment. 

Same here. The thing is, they often ask in the beginning of the class if anyone doesn’t want adjustments, which in the case of one asshole touchy-feely male teacher I had in Montreal, acted as a blanket form of general consent for any inappropriate touching that follows. This guy literally spooned me while I was lying…

I did this once last year when I was living with a full house of rando roommates and they were having a little party in the kitchen near the bathroom door. I was pretty sick in bed, looked like a wreck, and didn’t want to deal with it so I peed in an old jar and poured it out the window—we live deep in the country, it…

Oh god my dad does this. Life long cringe.

Whenever I live with other people and have to eat while stressed tf out, I eat in the bathroom or closet.

I gesticulate wildly with my hands while I’m talking. Unfortunately, I haven’t learned to turn off that gesticulation while I’m having a conversation in my head. I often find myself walking down a sidewalk and moving my hands like a crazy person because I;m the only person privy to the conversation that my hands are…

I have taken many yoga classes over the years, with many people, in many cities, and found that some woman teachers adjust often (which I liked, especially as a new student) but that ALL the male teachers adjusted often. I’ve had 15? 20? male teachers over the 15 years I’ve been doing this. And they almost all have…

YES!!! Especially in LA. I found that the yoga in crowd was incestuous and their yoga retreats are merely trips to foreign lands to get laid. They’ve all hooked up and party with each other. Yoganonamous in Santa Monica had a crew like this. It was a place where there was culty worship of the instructor couple that…

Warning, anecdata ahead:

I think he comes off as an extremely well-spoken, decent, and diligent guy but that’s just my personal take. One thing I *have* noticed in the last couple of interviews I’ve seen him in—namely with Colbert and Maher—is the tendency of the hosts to deflect by dropping the whole Frank Sinatra parentage rumor into the…

He always looks like a waxworks facsimile of a human being. 

Let me help you rationalize your irrational hatred. She’s been accused of sexual harassment by two people. Whether or not those accusations are true, she did display a pretty sickening lack of respect for consent or boundaries when she kissed a kid on national TV despite him explicitly saying he didn’t want to do it.…

As someone who was once part of a similar insurrection against arrogant, incompetent, and condescending management, I want to applaud all of y’all for today’s showing. I’m sure you’re simultaneously enjoying the fun of mutiny while also understanding the risk. Please also know how much it means to us here in the feebl…

These dogs are most certainly more deserving of human compassion and love than say, Jim Spanfeller (who by the way, if you didn’t know, has an email address: jim@g-omedia.com). That stain deserves to hear why a dog is more noble and deserving of human love and affection than he is.

Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

Did she forget that being bi/pan is a thing? After specifically coming out as pan if I recall correctly.

She’’s replaying her treatment of black folks (her “ghetto” phase) for the LGBTQIA+ community. She used the people/culture for her image and moved on with no consideration. She is the King of the culture vultures.
