You may want to revisit your word choice here. "Prone" means lying flat on one's belly. Nothing dominant at all about having your ass up in the air.

You are likely right, but "prone" is the only opposite of "supine" I could think of. Perhaps "pronated" would have been better? The Latin "pronatus" refers to a bending forward position, which is what I was looking for, like a lion in the process of devouring a gazelle. Or a cyclist aggressively sprinting or climbing...
But you all are also right, I detect some thin-skinnedness here! Especially as evidenced by the remarks regarding the "prone" position, which I choose to take as good-natured ribbing, although it could also be interpreted as disparaging, were I thin-skinned or easily bullied.
