not bad! the fight correagraphy was pretty good and teh growth was well done! i’m assuming this is made by fans and not professionals?

[sacul]

yes it does! i actually decided on bying the bishoujo figure and it came in today! i was surprised at how tall it was, 8 1/2″ including the base, and she actually looks pretty ripped and still has the cute face and everything!

its a carryover from the old mentality. i think men like them are bigoted and backwards. like there i feel for example, the US is still not ready to have a woman lead beacause they feel that a woman CAN”T lead. actually that isn’t true, and in a lot of older countries had good woman leaders, catherine the great, maria theresa, joan of arc, and even today we have chancellor merkel of germany, and a female president for south korea and brazil.

so going back to what you said that women can’t have muscles, its like uh, technically, both genders have muscles, that’s part of the human body. its the way we develop them and use them that makes it stand out

also it may not be as much hate as it is social ostracizing. for instance, let’s take gays as an example. i agree there’s a lot of advancement and more acceptance in more recent years, but any social deviance, and we tend to shove that aside. i also mentioned this in another thread that bodybuilding as a sport male or female is not really seen in the same light as more ‘mainstream’ ones

wow! they look amazing! i really like the one on the right hand side! seriously thinking of buying that and adding it to my collection!

very short, but sweet. its really hard it seems to find an FMG sequence of anything longer than like 5 seconds. the longest i think was the she hulk one way back when.

[quote=”massivebodybuilder” post=110916]It really just depends on the individual. I’m not saying that going the adult themed route is bad, we all have to make a living somehow and the powers that be within the IFBB do NOT make it easy for women at all. The prizes are laughable for the women compared to the men. Why?

I think you answered your own question with your next line.

Outside of a niche subculture, no marketability,
therefore no need for them as reps and/or spokesmouths for selling products for a profit.

All because middle America can’t accept women who are muscular

This is not strictly limited to the US, this is true whereever you go in the world.

Conversely, the women, many of whom look like they’ve been hit with an ugly stick just don’t know when to stop using the juice. Not exactly the kind of visual standard bearers that you want if your goal to win over the mainstream to the sport. Major turn off, not only to men, but especially women.

Go back to the 80’s, seems like every FBBr that hit the scene was amazingly attractive and consequently not as threatening in the eyes of the public. Were drugs used then, certainly. However, they seemed to have a better sense of physique balance w/ their femininity that is lacking with the current generation. Perhaps this is because they were well aware that as a vanguard they were role models as well as athletes to any women that would follow them. Fast forward to today that aspect is gone.[/quote]

that certainly seems to be the case. i feel that if the culture had stayed since the 80s, bodybuilding may have been a mainstream competitive sport like any other. just curious AlexG since i know you’re a bit of a fitness buff, assuming a woman has the perfect genetics for building muscle and all the right supplements and a good protein diet, how long will it take her to bulk up to FBB standard and can she still retain her feminity that way?

another one you may want to look into that has both male and females and you can see how they are seen is this one:

i personally think its interesting and i do admire the dedication and sacrifice needed to obtain a body like that for both genders. THough as i mentioned in the other thread, our perception of what we see as the greatest body may have changed since the seventies and eighties
