Fear of a Black Yoga Class
One has to salute the remarkable courage of this brave young woman who was faced by a terrible moral crisis in the very last place she expected it:
Now, a few years ago, one might well have assumed that this simply had to be an SWPL parody. And perhaps it is. But we now live in a post-parodic society where nothing, no matter how absurd, can be assumed to be a joke.
Especially such deadly serious matters asinterracial inter-subspecies same-sex stare rape.
A few weeks ago, as I settled into an exceptionally crowded midday class, a young, fairly heavy black woman put her mat down directly behind mine. It appeared she had never set foot in a yoga studio—she was glancing around anxiously, adjusting her clothes, looking wide-eyed and nervous. Within the first few minutes of gentle warm-up stretches, I saw the fear in her eyes snowball, turning into panic and then despair. Before we made it into our first downward dog, she had crouched down on her elbows and knees, head lowered close to the ground, trapped and vulnerable. She stayed there, staring, for the rest of the class.Reading this, one is left with one immediate and inescapable question: how on Earth can anyone possibly even attempt to justify female suffrage? Although one can't help but be amused by the idea that a single invasion by one African is sufficient to make this no-doubt "anti-racist" white woman begin to question the safety and value of six years of yoga classes.
Because I was directly in front of her, I had no choice but to look straight at her every time my head was upside down (roughly once a minute). I've seen people freeze or give up in yoga classes many times, and it's a sad thing, but as a student there's nothing you can do about it. At that moment, though, I found it impossible to stop thinking about this woman. Even when I wasn't positioned to stare directly at her, I knew she was still staring directly at me. Over the course of the next hour, I watched as her despair turned into resentment and then contempt. I felt it all directed toward me and my body....
I got home from that class and promptly broke down crying. Yoga, a beloved safe space that has helped me through many dark moments in over six years of practice, suddenly felt deeply suspect. Knowing fully well that one hour of perhaps self-importantly believing myself to be the deserving target of a racially charged anger is nothing, is largely my own psychological projection, is a drop in the bucket, is the tip of the iceberg in American race relations, I was shaken by it all the same.
Now, a few years ago, one might well have assumed that this simply had to be an SWPL parody. And perhaps it is. But we now live in a post-parodic society where nothing, no matter how absurd, can be assumed to be a joke.
Especially such deadly serious matters as

1 – 200 of 213 Newer› Newest»We have reached Peak White Girl
Women largely cannot handle the real, raw world.
Which is why when they vote, they come up with the brilliant idea of voting for pieces of paper that will take care of it for them. Just make it someone else's/a piece of paper's responsibility, as long as it isn't theirs, no problem.
From my observation, young SWPL women go about their day reconciling two contradictory imperatives: (1) compliance with anti-racist ideology in word and (2) avoidance of compliance with anti-racism in deed. Unlike a man who pretends to believe in one thing but acts contrary to his stated beliefs, a woman is not aware of the contradiction.
A SWPL female will vote for Democrats and be genuinely offended by racism, but she will carefully pad the nest of her life in a way that insulates her from non-Whites: living in a gentrified neighborhood; dating and socializing with white men (she will date and marry a white beta over a black alpha, if she can't pull a white alpha); working at a white-run company where black women are isolated in Admin departments and black men are few and far between. And she will attend Yoga classes at white gyms. But this is old hat. We know all this.
But this SWPL woman will have a crisis when the contradiction between her anti-racist creed and racist deed.
#YogaIsForWhiteWomen
"The really big mistake was shoes." ;)
If one operates under the assumption that every woman one meets is insane until she proves otherwise, this article makes perfect sense.
I'm...pretty sure this is a liberal-mindset problem, more than a female problem.
Seriously, that woman needs to get over herself.
This has to be a dispatch from some parallel universe. I can't fathom a yoga class causing a panic freeze, and I cannot imagine how having someone next to me who is that pathetic would make me afraid of her.
Baffling.
Heh. "Fear in her eyes snowball."
I wonder if that sentence is missing a comma.
How twisted, to be able to recognize the resentment oozing from someone, and then having to accuse yourself of having "deserved" it to make sure you don't have an un-sanctioned reaction to it, even in your own mind.
to sum up...
I saw a black woman today... 500 words about my feelings about myself. also I.
"How twisted, to be able to recognize the resentment oozing from someone, and then having to accuse yourself of having "deserved" it to make sure you don't have an un-sanctioned reaction to it, even in your own mind."
Well in the black girl's defense... she may have resented the fact that crazy white girl kept starring at her.
Why does she think it was despair turning into resentment and contempt? Maybe the woman was realizing her lustful desire would not be reciprocated, exhibiting restraint at not ravishing the desirable white chick then and there.
"We have reached Peak White Girl"
Yep, that's called Downward Facing Dog.
This isn't really a case that calls for criticizing her as "pathetic" or such as an individual. The discomfort she felt was genuine and it comes from a healthy place: an imperative to keep the her home space exclusive. We all react the same way at real and symbolic encroachments on our territory.
The proper target of put scorn is, per Vox's follow-on commentary, the decision to grant women suffrage. The other proper target of our scorn is anti-racism itself, which makes a higher class of white women live as hypocrites and in worst instances creators what Larry Auster called "the dead white woman tax."
Ya know the article is valuable for one aspect... we get to see a brilliant example of what happens when the anti-racist lilly white liberals actually see black people.
Its always fun to be called a racist by the snow whites who almost never even see black people... much less interact with them.
It is so sad. A Liberal can never look at a person and see an individual. They always see a category. They see a race. They see an ethnicity. They see a surmised political affiliation. They seldom see a person.
***how on Earth can anyone possibly even attempt to justify female suffrage?***
Shouldn’t the comments of Nate, Crying Ryan, Daniel, Godfrey, Kratman, etc… etc… raise the same questions about male suffrage then? MPAI afterall….
Over the course of the next hour, I watched as her despair turned into resentment and then contempt. I felt it all directed toward me and my body....and...had her chest been a cannon she'd have shot her heart upon it.
Well meaning SWPL white girls are insufferable.
Here's my sales pitch to SWPL women: "You wouldn't be subjected to stares of resentment and contempt from fat Negro women in yoga class if White people take back the right of association and right of free speech. Oh, and your chances of being raped or murdered would also be seriously reduced." Oh well, I guess I just don't give a shit about the ones who don't buy into my program.
Shouldn’t the comments of Nate, Crying Ryan, Daniel, Godfrey, Kratman, etc… etc… raise the same questions about male suffrage then? MPAI afterall….
It's never too early for popcorn!
No evidence of kindness anywhere. Can you imagine men behaving like that? As Prof. Higgins said," Why can't a woman be like a man?"
Especially such deadly serious matters as interracial same-sex stare rape
Don't you mean intersubspecies same-sex stare rape?
"It is so sad. A Liberal can never look at a person and see an individual. They always see a category. They see a race. They see an ethnicity. They see a surmised political affiliation. They seldom see a person."
At least this SWPL women was smarter than you! Either you are a very young child, or you are VERY lucky to have survived as long as you have.
Don't you mean intersubspecies same-sex stare rape?
Good point. I stand totally corrected.
Don't miss the follow-up!
It Happened To Me: I Read An Essay About A White Woman’s Yoga Class/Black Woman Crisis And I Cannot
Or the follow-up to the follow-up!
I Assigned That "Yoga Class" Piece And Here's Why
I've got to say that the Angry Black Women have a point, smothered as it is in layers of pretentious verbiage: The original essay reads very much like I'm skinny and hot, but I feel self-conscious about the fact that this black woman made me reflect on my skinny and hot privilege, so I'm telling you all about it. By the way, did I mention that I'm skinny and hot?
I should really submit a piece about that time a pajama boy walked into the gym and started doing one leg quarter squats while balancing on a bosu ball.
As Prof. Higgins said," Why can't a woman be like a man?"
Because if we could, as Eliza said, "I can easily do without you."
In fact, that was kind of the point of first-wave feminism: to be like men, because being like a woman is being subhuman. So many paleo-feminists, I tells ya...
So a black woman went to Yoga, and this gal had a meltdown..
Don't get it. Really don't.
Yoga is pretty stupid.
Especially such deadly serious matters as [...] inter-subspecies same-sex stare rape.
Literally spit my coffee out.
Thanks.

No, I' not as tough and wordly as you "woodsman". I bet you're really scary. You should try me sometime and find out how naive I am.
I've been to a bunch of yoga classes and I've never seen Dhalsim show up.
"YOGA FLAME!"

Yoga is pretty stupid.
Yep. It's a Hindu religious practice repackaged as "physical fitness". If you aren't a Hindu, you're not getting the full benefit, so why not spend your time on a more relevant fitness program?
Yoga, a beloved safe space that has helped me through many dark moments in over six years of practice, suddenly felt deeply suspect

Monogamonormative presumption! Your privilege is showing!!!
"I'm...pretty sure this is a liberal-mindset problem, more than a female problem.
Seriously, that woman needs to get over herself."
It's neither a liberal problem nor a female problem. It's a problem of too much ease in life--that is, being "neurotic". She has the emotional problems of a person who hasn't really suffered. She should probably seek therapy immediately.
"Yep. It's a Hindu religious practice repackaged as "physical fitness"."
Its also the first stage of Thelema.
How many people asserting that yoga is stupid have actually done yoga?
"

Society has "progressed" to the point where human beings are suffering the same neuroses as tiny yipping lap dogs.
I don't see how therapy could help though. Unless it involved forced labor.
"How many people asserting that yoga is stupid have actually done yoga?"
I don't do yoga because I'm not a satanist.
And yet you also celebrate Easter and Christmas and Halloween...
She should probably seek therapy immediately.
She's probably IN therapy, and on prescriptions so she doesn't suffer.
She needs to experience some actual physical pain (no, not the 50 Shades kind, I mean like a bad back or a toothache), and get outside of her little insulated circle of affirmation. You're right in that she's sheltered, but the only cure for that is experiencing reality.
She has the emotional problems of a person who hasn't really suffered.
This. This is why "almost raped" has its own entry in Encyclopedia Dramatica. We crave drama. And if we don't have drama then, by God, we will manufacture it!
"And yet you also celebrate Easter and Christmas and Halloween..."
This is probably OT at this point... but I'll be happy to explain the difference elsewhere.
The white nut job is also stupid. She didn't hate you because you were white, she hates you because you are not quite as fat as she is.
How many people asserting that shoving pinecones up your nose is stupid have actually shoved pinecones up their noses?
"She didn't hate you because you were white, she hates you because you are not quite as fat as she is."
or both.
or like I said.. maybe she didn't like being gawked at.
The only thing I know about Yoga is that Yuri Bezmenov said in one of his lectures that the Soviets thought it a good idea to spread it in the US because "it makes the head soft".
If you go through life fearful, you're screwed. Predators sense fear. They also sense “prey” that’s would give them a lot of trouble. Fear is your enemy.
How many people asserting that shoving pinecones up your nose is stupid have actually shoved pinecones up their noses?
Do please to keep your obscure fetishes to yourself, Sigyn.
People, check your privilege.
The poor white woman, unable to play the sex card, found herself suddenly thrust to the "domination" side. She automatically and involuntarily dominated the black woman with her whiteness and European-ness. It's even worse if she was a young, able bodied, attractive, upper middle class, gentile, heterosexual native English speaker. Will the domination never end?
"Do please to keep your obscure fetishes to yourself, Sigyn."
She's all talk... I heard she has to use Nasal Ease.
You don't have to do yoga; but, I know for a fact that stretching, regular and relentless stretching exercises help your body, attitude, health, and general smugness when you can lock your knees straight, bent to the floor and lay your hands flat to the floor, not just touch your fingertips and keep doing it over and over. I can still do this at 69 years old and it still amazes people who don't work out much. Yoga will get your stretches working. Disclaimer: I have never ever done yoga. And, if I were to want to, it would not be in some silly, expensive class.
"lock your knees straight, bent to the floor and lay your hands flat to the floor, not just touch your fingertips and keep doing it over and over."
ya gonna let me buy ya dinner first?
I really hope jack is short for Jacquelin..
I always thought that yoga was just stretching with patina of mystic malarkey created in the '60s, but I could be wrong. Never bothered to research it in depth.
If the black woman was asked, she might reply, "I'm not staring at YOU."
Nevermind.
She should have tried to initiate a conversation with the woman.
Something like.."Hi. I loved The Color Purple".
Send her to McRapey's yoga studio. He will let big girl have big cry, then turn her into a big black couch
Rebranding yoga as "static calisthenics" would make someone a fortune...
"Hi! You were great in that movie "Precious"."
Thanks to reading the comments section of the article mgl linked to, I have now learned that "articulate" is a racist insult.
Before we made it into our first downward dog, she had crouched down on her elbows and knees, head lowered close to the ground, trapped and vulnerable. She stayed there, staring, for the rest of the class.
Because I was directly in front of her, I had no choice but to look straight at her every time my head was upside down (roughly once a minute)
Hilarious mental image. Imagine these two staring helplessly into each other's eyes, their positions inverted, one crouched and cowering behind her arms like a puppy, the other on hands and feet thrusting her belly upward while her head hangs upside down between her arms, the fear and resentment in their eyes growing minute by minute like an involuntary and highly unorthodox stare-out contest...

#YogaIsForWhiteWomen
And yet ironically, developed by men, as always. Kind of like how all the top chefs are men.
A few weeks ago, as I settled into an exceptionally crowded midday class, a young, fairly heavy black woman put her mat down directly behind mine.
This has nothing to do with being black. Hello? You are fat. Deal with it.
Fat Asians, fat white people, fat Native Americans, and even fat Indians would have a problem doing yoga.
Someone like Rihanna or Gabrielle Union would be fine.
I can't fathom a yoga class causing a panic freeze, and I cannot imagine how having someone next to me who is that pathetic would make me afraid of her.
Undeveloped amygdala? The irony being yoga is supposed to develop calm.
Don't get it. Really don't.

Regardless of the skinny white girl's neurosis, Jill, it's also a liberal mindest (stirring the fire will put it out)problem. They can't understand that encouraging hypersensitivity is a contributing factor not a solution.
But we now live in a post-parodic society where nothing, no matter how absurd, can be assumed to be a joke.
Sad, irrefutable truth.
When I first heard of gender theory and shit I tought it was just a joke or a strawman but it is full of mentally ill people believing that stuff.
I had the same shock the first time I heard someone say "white privileged".
Yoga is pretty stupid.
It is like a non christian doing the spiritual excercises of the jesuits because he wants to relax and feel connected with a generic absolute.
The dangerous part is when churches and monasteries invite yoga class to practice and do sincretic conferences with yoga teachers or weird gurus (and it happens a lot).
My opinion is that this is caused by the spiritual desert of our contemporary society, while the catholic church eliminate latin from the mass many people are learning mantra and stuff in sanskrit.
The western world really has broken from reality.
"Irony... lifetime NRA member brags about his ability to bend over."

Poor girl. She should take up lacrosse.
There is the chance, of course, that she is a hottie and the African female was simply turned on by what she saw.
Don't knock yoga. It can actually be good for you. Two years ago a hot blonde gf introduced me to it. I later got rid of her, and today I have better things to do.
"The white nut job is also stupid. She didn't hate you because you were white, she hates you because you are not quite as fat as she is."
Which is a result of white privilege, dh. Don't you know that?
Yoga is just an Indian reinterpretation of British Army calisthenics. Nothing 'spiritual' about it, which is fine (nothing against the British army of old), but naive White women need to stop pretending it is.

I'm...pretty sure this is a liberal-mindset problem, more than a female problem.
and the liberal-mindset is, at it's root, effeminate. your point is?
it’s a question of enormous systemic failure. ...
it is precisely this feeling of not being able to engage, not knowing how to engage, that mitigates the hope for change.
notice how she externalizes her personal problem ( characterizes it as systemic failure ).
she does this to avoid personal responsibility for her failure to act like a human being. because she's fucking slime and, at some level, she knows this.
because if she wasn't fucking slime, she'd have done the human thing.

the real answer. what is so fucking difficult about striking up a conversation with her? the author even notes that it's not that unusual for a new white fatty to lock up.
at worst case, turn around after the session is over and say hi and see if you can help her. of course, this is also something that any decent instructor should be taking care of as well.

The earliest concrete yoga dates back to 500 BC. I say concrete, because it might be back to 3000 BC. That is speculation though.
@Nate: Depend on you to turn a comment on the advantages of staying limber and exercising into what you did. Can you accomplish the exercise move I mentioned? If not, maybe you should start working out before your weight gets more out of hand.

Attended a yoga class a couple times in my single days.
Was surprised that it was a decent workout. Not nearly as good as lifting, however.
Mostly my friend and I attended out of curiousity about all those limber women.....in yoga pants. In the 12 years since, haven't felt the need to check it out again.
But this article is quite funny, her breakdown once she gets home and realizes that her most precious refuge from the world / scary dark brown people has been invaded is pretty humorous.
Well in the black girl's defense... she may have resented the fact that crazy white girl kept starring at her.
Ok, that was funny.
Anyway, I thought yoga was what the British soldiers brought into India:

If Whites ever turn on Blacks, it will be the white, urban liberals doing so. The gun-toting "rednecks" out in the sticks will provide the only safe havens for blacks.

Try reading some gushing article about the male-to-female MMA fighter Boyd Burton (now known as Fallon Fox). Guys, he's actually a woman now! He's been on hormones for ten years and his bone structure, muscularity, and all traces of masculine advantage have been completely wiped clear of his system! He has absolute no strength advantage and wins his matches against women through technique and skill alone! A cosmetic surgeon in the article said so. That's a doctor.
Bzzzzt! It's also in sects of Buddhism.

Definitely a bad influence. I keep thinking I see a dirty joke in that name.
Read the "Why I Assigned" response. The black female editor complains about a spring break trip she took with a bunch of skinny rich white girls who failed to be ashamed of their "body privilege" and where she felt "anonymous."
Translation, the hot girls made me feel fat and got all the male attention. Bitches.

But there are also differences in the brain, for example the female brain is better at understanding emotions.
You can firmly believe to be a woman, you can take hormones for you entire life but what about the structure of your brain?

but that's the point.
IF you assert that yoga has origins in Hinduism
THEN, of necessity, you include all those movements that grew out Hinduism.
it's questionable whether Hindu grew out of Jainism or vice versa ( because the origins of both are pre-historic ) or if they're merely parallel developments so if you wanted to bring up another source, mentioning Jainism would have actually served a purpose.
it which Sigyn externalizes her personal foibles and assigns them to the self-designated Alpha.

Krul, I think they should have same-day weigh-in. I've read both 4HWW articles on weight gain and loss. It's fascinating, but it's completely unfair competition to have 165-pounders competing in a 135-pound class (or whatever the disparity may be). Similar things happen in powerlifting though some organizations have same-day weigh-in to discourage it.
Read the "Why I Assigned" response.
Even worse then the original article.
So to summarize all the articles and drama and naval gazing...
* Fat girls shouldn't try yoga.
* White liberal anti-raciss girls are raciss.
* Women really do hate each other. Especially black 'curvy' editors who spend too much time around thin, rich, blonde sluts.
* Finding, pointing out, comparing, and complaining about everyone's various 'privileges' will take longer then developing a unified field theory of everything in particle physics.
Am I missing anything important?
Reading this, one is left with one immediate and inescapable question: how on Earth can anyone possibly even attempt to justify female suffrage?
I'm going to print and save these articles. The next time someone in my family looks at me funny when I say women shouldn't vote, I'm not going to say a word. I'm just going to hand them copies.
Re: Marissa,
I'll tell you what I'd like to see. I'd like to see a male athlete claim to be a woman and try to compete in the women's league. No surgery, no hormones, no behavior or appearance changes at all; he just says "I used to be a hetero man, now I self-identify as a lesbian woman".
After all, "male" and "female" are just social conventions, right? To keep him (I mean "her") out of the women's league or demand that (s)he get surgery or hormones would be heterocisgendernormative fascism.

The thinner girl could probably have put her yoga mat on that ass and then yoga'ed on top of it.
CLASS STOLEN.
If you don't understand this woman's story, you obviously have never been to a yoga...class...session...whatever they call it. I recently experienced one myself, and it was difficult not to break down...laughing. My girlfriend purchased a groupon for yoga classes. When I came home from work one day she asked if I would go with her to one class. I reluctantly agreed since I felt like it couldn't hurt to work on flexibility and what not. By the end of the class I was convinced that yoga, at least not some general class, is not a great way to improve flexibility. It doesn't really focus on improving flexibility, and if you have some messed up joints from years of athletic pursuits, it will probably just aggravate them. Well, enough with the aside, and back to the point: the class was an hour and a half of trying not to laugh as the yoga instructor made various noises that I guess was chanting and talked ceaselessly about giving in to life's obstacles and bowing down to the universe. As I looked around, everyone seemed to really be into it. This story is of a piece of that environment and philosophy I guess. The saving grace was that the instructor was quite attractive and not afraid to be hands on in trying to get me into the proper form, which I hope is the reason why there appeared to be several single guys in the class...otherwise, it is even more pathetic than just hoping to get groped by the instructor. Needless to say, I made fun of the class and told my girlfriend she would be going alone to the rest of her classes.
"White girl stare a lot."
Yoga is an eastern religious ritual, i.e. satanic. It provides a pathway into the soul for demons to enter. Any Christian (Catholic) should NOT perform yoga.

Krul, I'd like to see their heads explode when you ask, "which one is MORE female?" They'd turn themselves inside out and then just say both are absolutely female, no ifs, ands, or buts.
Re: yoga and flexibility, has anyone read Kelly Starrett's "Becoming a Supple Leopard"? I prefer this kind of mobility as opposed to static stretching and holds.
I have not, Markku
Take away lesson if you happen to be black, female, and overweight:
Wandering into an enclave of skinny, white women doing leisurely breathy-stretchy things while showing off their workout apparel and marinating in their own narcissism is not conductive for your feelings of acceptance.
No matter how much faux sorrow they have for you when they gossip among themselves in the locker room.
That Hoover article is an awesome example of strawmanning.
"I can still do this at 69 years old and it still amazes people who don't work out much. Disclaimer: I have never ever done yoga. Gosh Nate, so you're gay? Who would have thought it. I'm not. Very hetero and I'll stack my ability to stay limber and athletic up against yours any time. Bet I can out shoot you as well... And, if I were to want to, it would not be in some silly, expensive class. Can you accomplish the exercise move I mentioned?..."
Welcome back, Miss Morgan.
Well boys, sometimes things happen in such away that everyone wins despite the idiots involved!
Consider that while there is nothing better looking than a woman in yoga pants - the yoga studio is a magnet for the worst of female ass-hattery. They go to the studios supposedly to focus their minds (don't ask them on what), relieve stress (don't ask them from what) and promote healthy spirituality (don't ask what that is either). The only thing WORSE than a gaggle of chicken headed women at the yoga class is a gaggle of chicken headed women at the coffee shop afterward!
Can't go to yoga anymore, Chickie? Awwwwwwww. Hey - I know what will make ya feel better! Make me a sammich and do some house cleaning!
HAR HAR HAR!
...Or, it could be a replay of the "my SWPL's bigger than yours" that took place at Whatever some months ago.
In which case, bravo.
Once we're back in control and this is all just a bad dream, remember to add the following to the Dark Enlightenment Constitution:
Anyone caught advocating women's suffrage will be given one chance to recant or otherwise face a firing squad.
Two words. Drama Queen! I think she is lying and really not that upset about it. She has an inferiority complex while wanting to feel superior to everyone else. Know someone just like her. The woe is me bullshit is really just a cover and the fear and loathing are all in her mind. She wasn't afraid she just wanted everybody to know she has a black belt in Yoga.
The culture ("special snowflake" schooling, twitter and other social media, etc.) has programmed people to think their every passing thought is worthy of analysis...that it has meaning. Hence, we get people tweeting what they had for breakfast.
We don't need to see most people's thoughts for the same reason we don't wish to watch actors taking a crap or brushing their teeth in movies: it is uninteresting and unimportant.
People need to get over themselves.
Nate, Porky is dying to see you in yoga pants.
Nate, Porky is dying to see you in yoga pants.
Wait... I thought Sigyn had a picture of him wearing skinny jeans...
Yoga pants can be deceiving.
I speak from personal experience.
While yoga pants can certainly frame an attractive behind, they also have the ability to make a flabby lady-arse look harder, firmer than it actually is.
Proceed with caution where women in yoga pants are concerned.
To buster my point, I have a good friend whose wife has breast cancer and went through the Chemo and radiation. She was handed pamphlet after Pamphlet of breast cancer support groups. So she attended one, and my fiend said she left before the meeting was over and it was nothing but one big pity party. I am not disparaging people with breast cancer but she certainly disparaged the group think (propaganda). She has a degree in psychology and figured out what was going on real fast. She won't attend another according to him.
"Wait... I thought Sigyn had a picture of him wearing skinny jeans..."
poppin' tags. that's me.
Nate wears your granddad's clothes
Nate wears camouflaged yoga pants to the deer stand.
...what Larry Auster called "the dead white woman tax."
I was never a big Auster fan, but the man could turn a phrase.

naw. we won't care what the women are advocating for, they can keep yelling all they want.
and if it's a man advocating for women's suffrage he doesn't deserve a 2nd chance. genetic hygiene, dontcha know.

wrong.
read the follow up article by the BLACK FEMALE editor who assigned the story in the first place. this is actually the black woman's natural response.
because the black woman is doing the same thing the white woman is doing, externalizing her own faults onto someone/thing else.
black woman can't do yoga? time to hate the limber white chick in front of you who keeps flaunting her good hair.
white woman picks up that black woman is uncomfortable due to BW's physical inability? blame 'systemic problems' with the yoga class.
Sigyn doesn't like admitting that pine cones fit in her nostrils without lube? blame Nate.
it's all the same thing.
Outlaw X February 04, 2014 3:14 PM

there's little SWPL libs like to do more than humblebrag.

Sorry, information overload. I can't keep up with the amount of BS I see on the net. But I know human nature. I am sure you have had someone call or visit you about a death or sickness that you know was not sincere. That is what I am seeing here.
While yoga pants can certainly frame an attractive behind, they also have the ability to make a flabby lady-arse look harder, firmer than it actually is.

Employ the Charmin test. Yes, caution advised.
Reading this, one is left with one immediate and inescapable question: how on Earth can anyone possibly even attempt to justify female suffrage?
Unparalleled comedy value?
Cheddarman: "Nate, Porky is dying to see you in yoga pants."
Coming from the president of the Nate Fanboi Club, this comes off as projection.
Fat black women only know one yoga position,.....the Roosevelt inversion.
Fear of a black yoga class. I have had that phrase stuck in my head for months ever since I first heard it at the end of a debate I watched. It was a debate Q&A with the guy who runs AmRen re: white student union at Townsend U. The black guy gets up and asks the white guy if he's afraid of a black planet. Wow Just wow
Sorry, information overload.
Don't worry about it, Outlaw. It's basically just an illustration of poor logic that mutated completely out of control because of overexposure to unstable Alpha particles.
I don't really put pinecones up my nose. That would be stupid. I don't have to try it to figure that out. *looks at Josh*

Correct response: I prefer to live on a blue one.

I know it was sarcasm, Sigyn, not a joke. Me saying Nate wears camouflaged yoga pants was sarcasm. It is different than a Joke. Some people think sarcasm is a joke it is not, it is being ridiculous to point out another absurdity. A Joke is the Juxtaposition of two Ideas simultaneously (you won't find that in the dictionary). We lost the language many years ago.
Or the follow-up to the follow-up!
I Assigned That "Yoga Class" Piece And Here's Why
"body privilege" is the only thing I go out of the editor's follow-up. Body Privilege.
"The skinny chicks are oppressing the curvy ones by being skinny! We must prevent this terrible injustice!"
bob k. mando February 04, 2014 11:47 AM
and the liberal-mindset is, at it's root, effeminate. your point is?
Oh, certainly it is effeminate, and effeminacy is the male counterfeit of femininity. Point ^_^.
We lost the language many years ago.
Yes, unfortunately. As goes the language, so goes the culture.
I sometimes think that was the point.
Let me attempt to make a joke:
Whereas, I am Nate's number one fanboi according to Porky
whereas Nate has suggested that the U.S. never went to the moon
whereas Big black girls are uncomfortable in yoga classes with skinny white girl SPWL's
whereas the U.S. recently announced it is not going back to the moon any time soon
let it be proposed here that the old negro space program be reactivated, in order to lift the spirit of all peoples everywhere (see link below)

Would the original writer had the same sympathy for a fat omega male? I somehow doubt it.
Oh, certainly it is effeminate, and effeminacy is the male counterfeit of femininity. Point ^_^.
Be careful with that there. Some of these guys wouldn't know humor if it got shoved up their noses, with or without lube.
the old negro space program
One of the greatest documentaries of all time.

*ducks*
Sorry, That should read. "The juxtaposition of two incongruent ideas simultaneously".
Outlaw, what drug was the duck on?
Qwack.
"The juxtaposition of two incongruent ideas simultaneously" - Yeah, I can see that.
Let me attempt to make a joke:
Sigyn that's not a joke, this is a joke.
Wife texts husband on a cold winter's morning: "Windows frozen, won't open."
Husband texts back: "Gently pour some lukewarm water over it."
Wife texts back 5 minutes later: "Computer really screwed-up now.”
Knock Knock
let it be proposed here that the old negro space program be reactivated
Classic.
Y'all...it ain't Wednesday...
It is in Japan.
Sigyn that's not a joke, this is a joke.
Yes, and it's funny.
Y'all...it ain't Wednesday...
Actually, it is in Finland! *party*

* snicker * Well, it only stands to reason; this mockery of stupid women ("but I repeat myself! Amirite, fellas?" *ba-dum-tish*) thing is really SRS BSNS around here, don'cha know.
Oh, Feather Blade, let's not get crabby. It spoils the party atmosphere. They're mostly okay; some of them just have slow days and have to fill the gaps in witty banter with cheap shots.
*offers tray* Bacon-wrapped chicken wing?
Well, damage done. I'll leave the tray here and go make some real food for His Lordship now. He's the REAL party, as far as I'm concerned.

oh baby, i'm getting all excited over here.
rule 34?
i am actually, honest to god, dying laughing right now.
pine cone in the nose porn. it just don't get no funnier than that.
Markku? make it so.
Feather Blade February 04, 2014 5:39 PM
this mockery of stupid women
and the men who act like stupid women.
nice of you to draw the NAWALT distinction. we truly do appreciate a finely turned intellect and some ample credentials around here.
did you know if squeeze two credentials together you can motorboat them? i'm tellin ya, credential cleavage is where it's at.
"Don't worry about it, Outlaw. It's basically just an illustration of poor logic that mutated completely out of control because of overexposure to unstable Alpha particles."
Always blaming me... its like i'm on your mind a lot or something...

Nate how can you take that personally? Is she the black women on the mat looking at your ass? You are in a position to teach and are one of the brilliant men I know.
Never mind Nate, It took me a while.
heheehehe... no worries old man. I know how it is.
"I'm...pretty sure this is a liberal-mindset problem, more than a female problem.
Seriously, that woman needs to get over herself."
Not even the most retarded mangina would type up such a ridiculous rant.
"gentile"
Being a goy is a privilege now? HA.
Tommy Hass February 04, 2014 9:10 PM

not even ... PajamaBoy?
not even ... Gore Vidal?
not even ... Barack "if i had a son, he could be Trayvon" Obama?
i think you may underestimate just how low liberals are willing to go.
Test, is this sarcasm or a joke?
It's a great day to kick someones ass
Women should be able to vote on the color of the curtains.
Men can be stupid, especially when testosterone poisoned. however this has a tendency to result in death. Estrogen poisoning is no less damaging, but the result is in hysteric (some will understand the pun) voting.
The problem is voting in the first place. It is futile to try to find a rational "mob". A republic where each has their rights, and errors in the governmental system (which must be small and simple and obvious) should be correctable only with effort. The evil is when effort can be used to extend error.
There could be cause for a yoga pant/yoga gear contest here.

A few years ago I mentioned it here and I'll mention it again: call yourself a
"pre-conversion-bull-dyke-lesbian-transsexual".
In other words, you dress like a guy, you have guy's equipment and you like fool around with women ... but you are a girl [deep down inside].
Actually, (and we are almost there!) say you are an "ANTI-conversion-bull-dyke-lesbian-transsexual".
The way things are going, within the decade you can get enraged at women and call them "oppressors" for insisting that you "mutilate" yourself by chopping off your 'nads.
