Tomi Lahren, Trump supporter, and right-wing conservative got trolled on the internet, three weeks ago.

She endorsed a brand by posting a picture of carrying a pistol in her pants, and Twitter went berserk on her weird display.

Lahren criticized the ‘March For Our Lives’ campaign the next day.

The campaign was led by students in support of tighter gun control policies. It included some provisions, such as age limit to buy guns and making background checks universal.

@TomiLahren

For somebody who is all about guns, then don't you think this is the improper way to carry a gun?

Please don't do that. Not sure what you are trying to show, prove, advertise but don't do that.

Get training on gun safety.

4. Why Yoga Pants Bad for Women

‘I don’t look good in these pants so let’s all bring back the sweatpants to the studio.’

A Medium by Honor Jones, not sure if a real writer, caused outrage on the internet.

Women were furious as the piece suggested women wear them to look sexy and want to show off their body.

Writer told her own story as she felt uncomfortable wearing them. She goes on saying the workouts have become all about how they look and not about fitness and healthy living.

It wasn’t just Twitter, but tons of blogs were written in response, bashing New York Times for publishing such an opinion.

Women replied stating they only wear because they are comfortable and lets them workout with freedom. Some said, why one even cares if they wore it to look good or comfort.

The piece was more like ‘now that I got your attention by saying chicks in yoga pants, let me teach you something.’

To all the wrong ideas about yoga pants and it being taboo, this guy found a compelling answer to life. Being giving an option to try something new, a yoga class – Cam Meekins learned about meditation, which changed his life.

He explains mediation very clearly and something anyone can do without buying yoga pants or a mat.

6. Have You Met the Yoga Pants Guy?

Alan Sorrentino wrote a letter to the editor at The Barrington Times, about Yoga Pants.

Sorrentino said the worst thing in the most appropriate way that outraged women. He wrote that these pants are the worst thing that happened to women fashion.

He also added that women over 20 shouldn’t wear them.

It’s understandable for a woman to say such a thing like in the New York Times op-ed as she feels insecure. But not cool when a man to write in the letters to the editor. A man may have his reasons, and it all could have been forgotten.

But Sorrentino had his home address printed below the piece.

You can guess what happened, after all those stories. Women march toward Sorrentino’s house and threatened the yoga pants guy. Sorrentino got death threats, and people taunted him passing by his house.

He said in one of his interviews that he got scared, but stood by his words and said that he meant no harm.

Lesson: Be careful what you write, and don’t leave your home address in the newspaper, except when posting an ad.
