I was thinking about this in relation to another thread about how people get in your shit about "you're gonna get big and become a bull dyke" if you go to the gym. I think if you go back in history, excluding the privileged females of the British Victorian era, the women generally did the work of a team of mules. I seriously doubt a load of hand-scrubbed & wrung out laundry weighed less than those 10# dumbbells. Goddammit WE ARE WOMEN! HEAR US GRUNT UNDER THOSE 45# PLATES ON THE SQUAT RACK!
ROAR!
And Martha can go fuck herself w/ those little 2#'ers.
