Do you think female bodybuilding enhances the female image?
The first U.S. Women's National Physique Championship, promoted by Henry McGhee and held in
Canton, Ohio in 1978, is generally regarded as the first true female bodybuilding contest - that is, the first contest where the entrants were judged solely on muscularity (Todd, 1999). It is argued by some that the way female bodybuilders are often treated is a form of
sexism. Male bodybuilders are typically judged by relatively objective standards, such as muscularity and symmetry, but female bodybuilders tend to be judged in part on more nebulous criteria such as "
femininity". The standards of judging are constantly changed and set mainly by men.

I find a buff woman just about as attractive as a buff man. All I ask is why?
Its a distortion but if someone wants to do that to themselves let em. It'snot against the law.
