Why do women get into bodybuilding? That seems like something only men would be interested in.
For some women, it is a desire to be fit and attractive. For a few, it is a rivalry with the men.
Many of those female body builders look like men, so that kills the attractive issue. Some of the so called top female body builders look like guys with bras.
That's only the women who use testosterone and steroids to look that way.
The testosterone explains why they look like guys with boobs.
Some women go into body building so that they can break the stereotypical weak woman image.
I thought Xena Warrior Princess did that. Or maybe it was Fiona in Shrek.
The warrior princess myth goes back to the Amazons of Greek mythology. Though I won't say that female body builders aren't trying to emulate that example.
What's the need to be able to bench press 200 pounds?
A desire to be as strong as the guys. Or to be able to defend yourself against them.
I wonder how many female body builders ended up body building in an effort to lose the fat. An odd form of anorexia.
Female body builders are rare.
It's rare enough that they don't know how dangerous it is. The drugs many of them take to look like the guys could leave them sterile or worse.
Not all female body builders look like guys.
Those who grace Shape or Fit Pregnancy look like healthy, trim women. The female body builders look like freaks.
It's a subculture, not unlike Trekkies or whatever science fiction show today has a cult following.
Yeah, but that weirdness is usually limited to Comic-Con weekend. For bodybuilders, it's an all day every day freak show.
