Good list, i know im male but this made me remember something
some ignorant person told me (after i advised a girl who wished to come to the gym with me and lift weights) that women who weightlift make themselves infertile.
I ended up debating the stupidity of this for around 20 minutes and they just wouldnt give up.
I think its great when women lift weights, brilliant sight at my gym to see a woman doing weight training.

I hate when people think that women shouldn't lift weights. Why not? This is a good list. Women can't get huge, they just can't, not without years of heavy training and some steroid use it just won't happen. I really hope that one at a time we can change the sterotypes against women and that women have against themselves when it comes to weight lifting.

I really liked what you said thehardway because that goes for more than just the physical appearance. They are worried that if they get more confident and have more self worth its not 'feminine'. I think the most attractive women in any field are the ones who have the confidence (which is either gained as a trait from childhood or physical exercise that makes a person slowly believe that they are better than what they used to think).
I also think weak and fragile is more popular at the moment and most women would rather the bony look than the healthy look. Well then i ask you, who are you trying to impress? Miss eating disorder or your partner/future partner because I have not met a guy that actually likes the bones look (and im sure that goes for same sex too).

My bf just relayed this story to me...
He was talking with somebody who had dated a samoian lady (she was sterotypically samoian in body size and shape, she was a thich sturdy woman, although not fit). This guy was saying how he was into it, and then not so much, she had cankles, her bones were really big, he said it felt like he was kinda dating a body builder.
Well my Bf retorted that he was dating a body builder (although weight lifter is a more accurate description of what I personally do). The guy asked if that was weird, or whatever, BF reply was 'we'll be having sex, and I can put her in all sorts of positions... and she can hold them, and often times supports all of my weight, I ask if I am hurting her, of if it is uncomfortable and she always can take it' (and I can, if I couldn't I would say so). His other friend who happened to be there remarked as to how visually appealing i am, thanks to my weight work. And the Bf came home (which is how I heard the story in the first place), bitching "I am so sick of all my friends telling me how hot you are... "HAHAHa

Yeah healthy women are definitely more attractive than the ones with eating disorders. Too bad we live in a patriarcal society that gives women the impression that all we want is big breasts and a boney body. When i work out at the gym sometimes i have to look down while lifting or else ill drop the weight due to all the beautiful women bodybuilders.

Women who push themselves in the gym are extremely sexy. I love training with my wife and love the fact that she pushes herself to go beyond that "it´s too heavy" remark, always keeping good form, i don´t want her getting hurt. There´s just so much stereotype out there, but congrats to all you women who weightlift, it ain´t just about vanity and looking good, in the end your health will be improved and that´s more important than anything.

Top 10 Benefits of Strength Training for Women - 
. Unfotunately there is still a faction of people who believe that strong women are not feminine. I have heard too many times from women around me "I can't do that, I'm just a girl", that statement always embarasses me, to no end. Hopefully women considering weight work will stumble on your post and it will be the extra encouragement they need to give it a try. All women should be strong, and they don't need to be Hulked out to be strong. 
Let me testify that you will only cut up and not bulk up if you don't use supplements and your nutrition is off. As a wheel-spinner for many years, I can tell you first hand that it doesn't hurt for the ladies to bust their rears as hard as they can lifting and that they shouldn't fear bulking because it won't happen unless they deliberately set out to do it. Most importantly, it turns me on big time to see cut and shapely women with some bulk, so start lifting now!
