While it is noticeable how many of the Olympic women are small breasted—and that was a main part of the article—but that hasn’t been what I’ve been trying to discuss. I know every woman is different in her body type, and that’s a good and godly thing.

My main point was to comment about the radical nature of feminism—which if you reflect on it, it has affected women’s athletics and the Olympics. Some for good....but often not.

It DOES seem to me that many women athletes I’ve seen on TV are not at all feminine behaving (including large-breasted Venus Williams), and related to that...that femininity in women generally is not valued or encouraged in Western culture today.

I haven’t intended to be personally offensive to you, and I appreciate your perspective.

“I haven’t intended to be personally offensive to you...”

You haven’t been offensive at all. On FR, we are allowed to debate and discuss different perspectives. That’s what makes FR so great. This thread began with a link to an article about the Turk and his perspective (which you agreed with). The article discusses how the Turk believes female athletes are flat chested and “extra points should be given to female athletes based on how feminine they look”.

I agree that there are some women who don’t behave like a lady. Just as much as I will say there are some men who don’t behave like gentlemen.
