First of all, a female can lift all the weights she wants, and she will in fact remain female.
Secondly, it is not in our genetic code to build muscle like a man. While some girls are able to get larger muscles than others, it is pretty much impossible to build muscle the way our brother does. We just don't have the testosterone for it.
That being said- what the hell is wrong with a little muscle anyways? It is vital for a woman to be physically strong. I am able to hoist myself onto a counter to reach something on the top shelf when my husband is out of town. I can lug around my neices and nephews without whimpering or passing out. I can open the jar of pickles all by myself. I can move furniture, flip mattresses, and carry any kind of heavy load from point A to point B.
I am woman. Hear me roar.
Having muscle strength provides me with confidence. I am self sufficient in my household chores, and I also have a fighting chance if I am ever physically threatened. While I may not have much combat skill, I do have some brute force to back me up.
Having muscular strength does not threaten feminity.
Desiring to be the weaker sex will only make you the weaker sex.
Get out of your traditional gender guidelines and do what is good for you. Forget what you're told about how a woman should be, and get out there and kick some ass!
