I wonder if anyone’s every written an article about how the Olympics has “destroyed” male bodies. Has anyone ever commented unfavorably on how weird male swimmers look, with their overbroad shoulders, shaved chests, and thin, short legs? Or male skaters, with their balloon-like thighs and hunchbacks? Or male gymnists, who look like overly muscled pre-pubescent boys?
Nah. Of course not. Men look the way they do because that’s what their sports demand. Women? How dare they do the same thing.

great points !!!
... but, even more, people forget about the selection process.
does playing basketball make you taller?
does being a jockey or gymnast make you shorter?
...certainly, having a slender frame, is an advantage from many sports.
people gravitate towards what they are good at naturally.
...yes, lowering your fat percentage, makes breasts smaller, but, only so much.
people confuse cause and effect...
Arnold Swarzenegger and Dolly Parton might love to run marathons... but...

Of course not. Muscularity and certain kinds of athleticism are innately understood as a masculine.
Football has players and cheerleaders (both are athletes) --but the feminists would have football outlawed...or demand that 50% of the players be women, and 50% of the cheerleaders be men.
How about TV's emphases on fashion and dance in men? As one poster noted above, figure skating in the Winter Olympics seem to have very feminine women....and effeminate men.
My main point in posting is that the Olympics very clearly prove that femininity is most definitely denigrated in our culture today.
If you can't, or won't, see that, well, nothing that I say will change you.
