[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you troubled, it's not your body. [/quote]

I have girlfriends who are [u]deeply self conscious about their masculine physical traits[/u] they developed in youth sports. And the hysteric sports training regimen is far worse now than in the 80s and 90s. These young ladies don't have a say in the matter nor can they possibly comprehend they're permanently altering their body in a masculine aesthetic for a silly sport they're not even that great at in the first place. The end game for 93% of these girls is quitting the sport by the end of high school. For another over 5% it's quitting it by the end of freshman year of college. Permanently destroying your daughter's body so mum and dad can booze at crummy hotels on weekends and brag on Facebook what a great (local) athlete their daughter is.[/quote]

Id love to hear you provide examples of these masculine physical traits that thee women are deeply self conscious of. I have a feeling some of these women may be deeply self conscious no matter what because of posts like this and I also think many of these women would be muscular even without youth sports.

The interesting thing about this is that there are multiple studies showing that women- exception would be bodybuilders and steroid users as well as some cohorts with PCOS or hyperandrogenism and very tall women- have an upper limit capacity of about 125-130lbs of muscle. So grown woman at 170 and 25% body fat would have 127.5 muscle. 140lb woman at 25% body fat has 105lbs of muscle, 18% 115lb muscle. Many young girls wont have developed the fatty deposits of breasts and hips in comparative levels to those of adult women. So youre looking at even lower BF%.[/quote]
