what some men still think-

I find many men don't know what to do with women who lift seriously. They either make subtle fun of me or are intimidated (or both). They talk about my muscles in a slightly condescending way... it's like they are trying to be complimentary but they can't quite get there.
I also get a lot, "Well, you don't want to get BIG, do you???" I just answer, "Hell, yes! As big as possible, thankyouverymuch." To which they have absolutely no response other than to stand with their mouths wide open. LOL.

When the "ideal female body" evolve towards a more muscular frame (rather than the skinny chicks in the magazines/TV) , men's mentality will also change
The stereotype of the weak and slim woman is still in our western culture
Untill that change, would you mind get out of the squat rack, please ?

Wow what an a**!!! Men need nurturing like little boys and they seek it from woman. I guess if we take the one thing they have over us " muscles" they're still just little boys!! But sorry Big Boy move over "I need to use the squat rack"

This is true. Our mindsets are dictated by what is "popular" and "mainstream". Popular culture tells us what is "okay". You personally might not agree with it, but 99% of the population does follow it. If this wasn't true, advertising wouldn't exist.

Before panties are all in a bunch, I believe this is joke (sarcasm, anyone?).
Pretty funny to me. Anthrax said:Have you ever notice those little things called Smileys (or Emoticons) ?
In case you don't the one I used (
BTW, I have no problem with chicks doing heavy squats (even heavier than mine)
To each his own life and power over it
Ok, It's clear to me now!! No harm done.
I know a lady who is a powerlifter and all I have to say is I prefer her physique to that of a squishy swimsuit model. She is quite feminine, attractive yet pound for pound is stronger than me...no shit! Her body won't quit either! It is quite awesome.
Now, for the outdated thinking...It is probably due to the old male ego of wanting to be the king of the jungle, tough guy protector and a woman who is just as strong as he threatens this male dominance process...We all like to protect our women, but shit, if she can throw down with me when needed, all I got to say is hell yeah.!
