"Manly" Women Unite!

in Chit-Chat
I am sick and tired of reading that girls with muscles are manly. If you personally do not like it, then don't attempt it!

I work my freaking *kitten* off trying to build muscle. As a woman who doesn't use steroids to do so it is a VERY slow process. It takes time, effort and dedication. To hear other women fret about looking "manly" and how they don't want to wake up one day ripped to shreds with bulging muscles is very insulting, naive, uneducated, etc, etc, etc.....

Please educate yourselves before making broad generalizations about a body type that you seem to know nothing about nor wish to attain.

Here are my "manly" muscles. I am quite proud of what I have accomplished in just one year of lifting. I look like this flexed, but unflexed you wouldn't really notice my arms....just saying.

    Sick.
    I didn't even know it was possible for a woman to look this manly.
    You should be ashamed.

    I have the exact opposite problem, - I want to look manly but won't do anything about it. Props to your manliness.

    I always tell these women who are afraid of gaining muscle not to worry about it because they're probably far too lazy to ever have to deal with such a problem anyway.

    I too am a manly work in progress!
    Lifting for 2 years and I don't think I will ever stop.
    I love my muscles, I love that I can carry all my grocery bags to the car and I love that I don't have to rely on a man for opening a jar or moving something heavy.

    This is always my view. I just don't get that whole "OMG, I one time saw a body builder and blahblahblah I don't wanna look like that!!!" thing, when is most cases the person saying it won't ever see a low enough body fat percentage to look like a body builder. Hell, most of the time they have a tough enough time being at a *normal* body fat percentage.
