It's amazing how much higher the bar has been raised to be a "muscly woman".
She looks fantastic and athletic and sexy in this picture, but I remember seeing that in the 90s and thinking "wow strongk!"
And I don't think it's about gear, I think it's about aesthetics, I remember women being really careful not to exercises that could make their arms or shoulders bigger, and it just feels like women care about that a lot less now.
As a sapphic person I completely approve.
PE sexism galore.
its before hollywood, required the hollywood face and body. aka plastic surgeries, botox. and roids/peds for the men to be ripped at thier 40+yo. isaip, rob mac(cringey name change) and kaitlyn were totally unrecognizable as of recently.
