P.S. it's amazing how you knockdown people that partake in gear use. When you, yourself, are so infatuated with all these female bodybuilders, which many of them are big time users themselves.... Kind of hypocritical don't you think?
P.S.S. Uhhh...BigGuns, do you really want to have an intellectual discussion on the subject?!
Of course, you do have enough knowledge of the history of weight-training to realize that the pioneers of the iron-game…Jowett, Berry, Leibermann, Hoffman, Rader, Lalanne…all defined “bodybuilding” as ANYONE who trains with free-weights and machines (a.k.a. “progressive resistance exercise”) to improve their appearance, health, strength and athletic ability…don’t you!?
This, of course, covers literally millions of girls/women world-wide who would be clearly classified as female "bodybuilders" (FBBers) by this definition! It is these girls/women that I admire, support, defend…i.e. the ones that try to weight-train naturally! Why, I even started a thread on the G&O section of these boards, some time ago, trying to find/post pics. and profiles of ONLY natural FBB women. Yeah, I guess I am “infatuated” with strictly these ALL-NATURAL FBBers…and that includes, in particular, FBBers w/o breast augmentation!
Sadly, it is apparent that guys, like youself, try to select the miniscule no. of COMPETITIVE FBBers (some amateur, but mostly the pro. card carrying IFBB ones) who are virilized with heavy doping (androgens/GH), and then try to stereotype ALL FBBers in this category. But this is what, 1/2 of 1% (if even that high a percentage?) of the total no. of women weight-training worldwide!??
As we all know, there are many men who are terribly insecure and cannot handle assertive, competitive, intelligent, well-educated, professionally-accomplished, women who weight-train and have stunning good looks and SEXY CURVES, to boot! It’s just far “too much ALL-FEMALE WOMAN" for them to handle!
So, they compensate for this/these terrible flaw(s) in their intelligence, maturity, and REAL masculinity, by “ganging-up” on these Getbig forums against ALL weight-training women and bash/flame/stereotype them to no-end! After all, in their puerile minds "courage is in numbers"!
For example, they repeatedly bash/flame/ridicule ALL of FBB women by calling them “she-he’s”, transvestites; that they are all steroid users; and try to compare/stereotype ALL of them as looking like some heavily-virlized pro. IFBB competitive FBBer (e.g. like a Renee Toney, Iris Kyle, etc) in their pre-contest condition!
This premise is borne out by the periodic running of the tiresome, moronic, fact-distorting, never-ending, “Would You Hit It?” series of threads, on these boards. The very apparent goal of these ignorant/fact-distorting threads is to find and post pics. of the "ugliest-in the face", most masculine-looking", FBBers, in their very surreal/temporary gaunt/dehydrated "pre-contest condition" for the sole purpose of ridiculing and poking fun at these competitive FBBers...and then IGNORANTLY try and conclude that ALL FBBers look like this ALL OF THE TIME...I mean how DUMB and DEMEANING can you get!??
