You realize both yoga and pilates are men's workouts right? Literally invented by men, for men. You're appropriating a culture that's not for you, once again. There literally cannot be a pilates class where a man doesn't belong, it is his workout.

What are you talking about? There is no sexism here.

It’s simply equity. Men already have a near monopoly on male-centered spaces; they hardly need to be invading ours!

If anyone (male or female) acts inappropriately, they should be asked to leave.

it’s not misandry

It’s equity.

I agree.

It was a woman who said loudly, "You're going to have to move. I take a LOT of room!"

I was nowhere near her. I didn't go back to that class.

Remember, six feet.

“Six feet” was entirely made up.

Ok, so why would that change if there’s a dude there? Focus on yourself, your breathing and your posture. Also who wears a pad to yoga?

NP. What? Why on earth wouldnt you wear a pad to yoga?

Also a NP because it would slide around and potentially allow a leak. You must not be a woman.

I’m a woman who prefers wearing pads to tampons for various reasons, and the risk of small leaks is one reason I don’t want a man in my yoga class. I don’t see why I should be forced to wear tampons so that some men can join my exercise class. And which woman could honestly say that she’s not more embarrassed to release gas during a yoga class with men than with all women?

The irony here is that you're not a woman's woman at all; you're a male centered pick-me. You don't care about leaking menstrual blood and farting around women, but you're embarrassed to do so around men...because you want to impress men and be appealing to them, while you dgaf what women think. Wearing a pad to a yoga class is absolutely FOUL, and the fact that you wouldn't do it around men shows only that you have respect for men that you don't have for women.

What is the fresh h*ll has happened to this thread. But yeah, I am not following how having a man in a class influences your choice of pad or tampon. Do you think they care? Why would you be more embarrassed around a man than a woman in a yoga class? Women don’t want to hear your farts or get whiffs of your soaked menstrual pads either. But whatever, you are free to do what you want. But your period choices shouldn’t be influenced one way or the other whether there are men or women in the class

Men do not belong in Yoga, Pilates, or Zumba. These need to all be women-only spaces!!

Yeah I take both pilates and floor barre over zoom with ballet east and ballet art in NYC, half of the most distinguished faculties are men. They are also physically bigger making it easier to see body placement over zoom.
