Okay, today I had my movement class for my acting program. I mentioned how my back always hurt because of my breasts (they're pretty big). My movement teacher gave me some advice on exercises to help me relax my back and improve my posture. I should mention that my movement teacher has had a double masectomy. Well, my friend yelled at me after class saying how rude and insensitive I was because our teacher had a mastectomy and I shouldn't talk about my breasts in front of her. Okay, am I wrong here? My teacher is a strong, confident woman who used to have breasts, and remembers the troubles caused by them. She didn't seem offended, and she was ASKING us about problem areas. It seems to me that someone who had a mastectomy would prefer people not to be weird about it and talk to them like they would any other person. Or am I wrong? Idk.
Well, if your teacher seemed alright with you talking about it. I think your fine, never worry, maybe your friend thought it was just a sensitive subject that you touched on that could've offended her. However, it doesn't sound like you did. After all, its not your fault. - A.S
I don't see anythig rude about what you said, especially if your teahcer was discussing problem areas & didn't take offense to anything you said about your breasts. Your friend sounds like they're just being overly paranoid...
Your friend makes it sound like you went right up to your teacher and went "Hi, my name's Melusine, I still have breasts and you don't." So unless you actually did that, no, what you did wasn't rude in the slightest.
I think your friend was being rude to you dictating what is considered "rude" when it's not and making you feel as though you did something wrong. Imo that's being rude, not asking your teacher for help.
Thanks everyone. Sometimes I just need a little reassurance. This friend I'm talking about just has a problem with talking down to people .
You are probably right, dont let it happen though. Just my advice... =D Bit by bit we can make this world a better place... =D
