One of the blogs I follow, Dorothy Surrenders, has a post today entitled "I'll bring the muscle" featuring beautiful, athletic women.

Oh. Oh, be still my beating heart <3

Those pictures brought back memories of my mom saying that too much muscle definition wasn't healthy for women.

Well, pffft to that.

Well, in the sense that if a woman doesn't have enough fat it'll stop her period and lead to fun things like osteoperosis...

...but I'm guessing your mom wasn't speaking in that sense. So, pfffft!

Yeah, I think she was referring specifically to defined abs like the ones seen on the women in that post. Obviously a severe lack of fat is bad for anyone, but I think what she was doing was repeating a myth intended to discourage women from being athletic in the first place.

Ugh, I HATE those myths. And they're so pervasive! In gymrats, one of the fitness comms I'm in, just the other day someone posted a comment that was like "I always heard that women should do push ups on their knees because if they do full push-ups, their uteruses could fall out."

I swear to god, this is why I want to raise children some day: so I can contribute people to the world who value strong women!

Hm, I see exactly what you mean. I mean, I still think she's hot, because she's Dara Torres, but not in that photo - she doesn't look like a masculine female, she just looks kinda male.

<3 athletes!

Agreed on all counts! I mean, the number I've times I've swooned over shoulders alone... guh!
