Have you noticed more women starting to lift the past few years? When my mom was my age, she lifted at the Y, but she was the only woman EVER seen lifting. This was 30 years ago. Now, when I lifted at my college's gym and now lifting at a club, I see 2 other women lifting at the busier times. So maybe 80-90% men rather than 99% men 30 years ago.
Definitely. You have to figure that if something's got addictive qualities to it, everyone is susceptible, lol.
(But it probably depends where you live/spend time. I could easily imagine places where women wouldn't want to start doing it by themselves, alone, for fear of bucking trends. But those that have gyms in their houses may do it there, too, you never know.)
