Kadiera's Playground Cute but Evil - it averages out

I lost the thread of where this should go sometime after I woke up (and now that I've spent an hour immersed in an OMGWTFBBQ problem here at work, it's even more tenuous).

At any rate, as a reminder for when I've got a little more time....

karate is like most Goddess religions - power from within, rather than power over others. It makes people feel confident, knowing what their body can do, and knowing when to use that power and when not to.

"exercise" - particularly with a trainer - is like most "patriarchal" religions, based on power over someone else. It tries to enforce a standard way of being (thin, with muscles)....and the only difference between exercising as an adult and middle school gym class is that there's less name calling, and the derision and bullying is more subtle.
