People train for a variety of reasons. Arguably some are better than others. And our culture's emphasis on appearance and the messages that women receive from a very young age cause a real harm. I also think that disrespecting peoples views rather than engaging them in conversation is harmful. You might have missed an opportunity to educate someone or maybe even learn something.

This forum usually rises a bit higher than that.
Then instead of offering a lecture, maybe you should have taken the opportunity to "educate" a 10+ year trainer.

Get a grip. I have a different view and stated it.
