You're right. Based on what you said, I did make both those assumptions and I was wrong and I'm sorry. For what it's worth, I'm glad I'm wrong and that I do have a chance to look at your words again and examine my biases. With that, you've also made an assumption, that I look a certain way or fit a certain size and…

That's pretty rude, I was trying to be nice. I'm not a teacher, I just like to work out and was super fucking self conscious when I started working out because I didn't look like I fell off the Lululemon van. I'm glad you're happy with yourself, and was just trying to be supportive, cause I've been there. Good luck to…

Oh, for sure. But that shouldn't stop you from doing whatever you want that makes you feel physically good. You don't have to work out to look a certain way.

You can be any shape and work out. My dance class is an amazing array of bodies and ages, from 20-70, and it’s badass and inspiring to be in. I don't have to look like anything in particular to dance my ass off.

I have a full time job and I work out two hours a day and longer on weekends. It's important to me, so I carve time early and late, and eliminate time-sucking activities, or do them AT the gym. If you sleep eight hours and work 10 hours, you still have six hours in the day.

I immediately thought of prisons, where men are routinely raped by other men. Her mental gymnastics are... impressive. Not to mention that the rape problem in the US military is internal.

It’s hard to bust on a pregnant woman or generally make unkind comments about people’s physical appearance.

He's such a promising young man.

That makes more sense! They're called crisis pregnancy centers and they're truly a travesty in terms of preying on vulnerable people and giving false and misleading information. More power to you, then!

PP asks that people don’t do that. It actually ends up escalating conflicts in front of the health center and more people out front yelling ends up frightening the clients walking in, even if some of them may be on the “good” side. If you want to help, you obv have a great heart, volunteer or vote or donate or all…

Must not have been a legitimate rape.

Ha! You might want to poke into the Cuban pharma industry before making that pronouncement. Cubans have a thriving generics market. Should you buy your drugs on the street from some dude in a truck? No. Can you walk into a pharmacy or hospital and get perfectly good medicine? Uh, yeah.

That’s 100% bullshit. My dad works in big pharma and his company has deliverables in the US. The FDA and Canadian regulatory systems are analogous and the price of epi pens in Canada is almost nil. It's a ludicrous argument to assume that the US inspection system is more advanced than the Canadian or UK one.

Yes but there's no mandate that those internships be unpaid. For example, engineering or computer science internships are almost always paid and very well paid, because companies want to attract the best talent after. One of my chem eng students made 17k during a summer internship and that wasn't abnormal. For them,…

This this this this this. I’ve never hired an intern that I couldn’t pay. Some of them were paid close to minimum wage when I was with nonprofits because of a shoestring budget, but they were still paid. Not paying interns for real and tangible work is not just illegal, it’s unethical, and perpetuates the cycle of the…

This seems petty AF and a ploy to get their hashtag trending. Not sure what they're gaining morally here. Donate the money, great, but this is self-promotion at its most Trumpian.

My gym has a couple of very nice spaces for nursing (or pumping) mothers to feed their babies, where they can get a little quiet time, spread out, and be comfortable. Of course women can breastfeed anywhere, but given the amount of “stuff” you bring with you when you have a nursing child, I’m sure it’s nice to have…

Those damn towels at Equinox were a late discovery for me. I was four months in before I was like “what’s this little fridge here???????”

Yes but what is her husband doing?

I’ve found that it’s polite to follow the lead of the host initially. For example, if they order a drink, you can order one as well, as long as it’s similar, i.e. if they’re having beer, don’t order a double shot of Patron. And then stop.
