I looked over the issue the other day @ the local CVS store; the mag is still an oversized supplement catalog with achieved (fantasy) results by those who are obviously serious users of gear.

Really, who do they think they're fooling?

That said . . .

Pro: Scanning over the article, in a nutshell, I'd have to say that it was a good, positive piece promoting feminine-looking female bodybuilding over that of the pharmaceutically induced kind.  As well as the "marketable" element to the general public who'd never consider that sort to be attractive, yet with someone like Britt (or Cindy Phillips for that matter, my insert) not only is desirous by men as a FBBing archetype, but that women (especially those concidering getting into lifting, my insert) would not be turned off, either.

Con: I really could have done without the presence of an MBBr in the photo-op with Britt, preferring her pure and unadulterated, which I think is the case with 99.9% of us.  Please, the lady is awesome enough in her own right and can stand on her own physique merits without the need of such a prop.  Some respect is in order, afterall it is suppose to be an article about FBBing, not the male kind.

Interesting that they felt the need to photo her with a man.  Surely they don't need to massage guy's egos by showing that many male BBers are bigger?

You'd be surprised…  The general Male ego really IS that sensitive.  Hence the overwhelming and typically negative reaction to muscular women. 

Obviously I'm making a broad sweeping generalization here. 

Also, no one here on this forum has this problem either!

This reminds me of those Muscle Mags I bought in my teens…bought for the beautiful FBB…but stuck viewing her either wrapped around a male counter part…or with one in the picture.  It's very disheartening and a big repeller for those who feel like we do (love the FBBs alone).

Well, for example of the kind articles we prefer, you'd have to go back over a decade to when FLEX had it's Power and Sizzle series promoting FBBrs, or the era of Muscular Development when it routinely had a monthly centerspread, w/ photo op and interview with featured FBBrs and Fitness Women.

Yes, they actually had such sections in the mags and the women stood out very well all on their own.  8)

It seems that we have regressed to an era when women were accessories to men. ::)
