I've kept up with this blog out of the recommendation of other blog readers. With that being said, I try to post things that benefit the readers. No product is perfect, and I welcome anyone to present quality feedback to improve this blog.
If something is hard to see (deatils on a jacket), difficult to use (disqus app) or does not provide enough information (vague details)....I encourage feedback anytime, and there is no hard feelings.
What I will not tolerate is name calling, belittling, or ostracizing anyone at anytime. This does not mean buttering up or kissing butt. This means there is a tactful, professional way to say you don't like something or you would like something to improve. Luckily for me, you guys have been rock stars and I haven't had to deal with any negative comments at this time.
I'm talking about this because I understand the impacts of cyber bullying from all ages, child and adult. It's not just hateful comments, but it's also overly defensive remarks implying that you have to be this or that...enforcing one stereotype over another.
I have been called names growing up my whole life. People would call me "cancer girl" in college because of my small frame. I was a NCAA distance runner and had issues with my weight...no eating disorder required. My career is only 5% women, and I have been called everything from a "dyke" to a "whore." I have been judged for not taking my husband's name or for not having kids. I'm selfish because I (personally) want to learn life expirences a before I have a family of my own.
I'm not saying this for sympathy, but to highlight the fact that it's hard to judge a book by its cover. I have read so many mean spirited comments from ladies implying that you're only a women if you have this or that or a certain kind of life is more difficult or respectable than another. My life has certainly not been a cookie cutter, and I wouldn't expect anyone else's to be either. All women come from different shapes, backgrounds, and live current lifestyles are special and beautiful. We all are beautiful in our own way because we are all unique, not because we are "different" or "abnormal." There is not right size or shape that is meant for everyone.
There are mean people everywhere and there is a stereotype for everyone. While I welcome constructive feedback to consistantly improve this blog, I ask that name calling, negativity, and general cattiness to be checked at the door.
I have, and will, continue to promote fashionable fitness apparel to encourage positive self esteem and confidence in the gym and wherever your life takes you.
