P.S. gojira, I’m really not trying to start trouble with this question. If you read my long post you’ll see that I actually somewhat understand what you’re saying (or at least feel there can be some sort of compromise). But after seeing that pic of Vonda’s ass and how highly you touted her, does that pic bother you? It seems likely to me that that picture was purely taken from a PR/“giving male fans what they want to see” standpoint. Does that change your opinion of her? Again, I’m actually just curious as to how you feel about the issue.
Another girl for the athletic competition fans out there. One of the top five fighters in the world. I think she is mostly MMA, but has made the transition to competitive boxing as well. Apparently she has an ongoing rivalry with Laila Ali, trying to get her in the ring for a fight. Tats don’t do it for me, but she’s a good-looking gal, nonetheless.

If your talking to me yes And the she-males I am talking about are the overly built women who have commited testosterone induced SEX-CHANGES just like the fags who take estrogen to become chicks as that’s what these THINGS REALLY ARE And that’s how they are viewd I’m not talking about women like the one above here But rather like the one posted a few weeks ago I mean damn that’s was an unfortunate looking WO-MAN
Settle. Would you rather them be obese? To each his own, and if you don’t like it, that doesn’t mean no one else does. I can’t say I’m a big fan either, but I have respect for anyone that can overcome such huge obstacles and get bigger than most men on this site. That’s my rant.

It’s not their size that turns me off infact a strong formidable woman is a turn on in the bedroom as long as SHE still has the features of a woman And not the JAWLINE of ARNOLD.

No, it does not change my opinion of her. Here’s why - look at the picture again but instead of looking at her ass, look at the development in her arms and back. The difference is how you look at the picture - do you see her as a well developed athlete or as some chick in a thong. It says a lot about how you view women in general. It’s not the nudity - I like nudity. It’s the context. The majority of the women chosen for the powerful images (up till recently) did not even remotely look like someone who trained except for maybe some ab work and a stavation diet (and let’s not forget the airbrush). They were chosen solely for the sexual content.
Get it?

I get it…to a point. To be honest with you, the first time I even saw that picture her back and arms were something that jumped out at me. I’d be lying if I said she didn’t have a great ass, but her musculature is something that impressed me greatly from the very first time I saw it. Does that take away from the fact that picture is primarily an “ass pic”, though? I think saying that anyone who sees that picture who views women in a positive light should only see her as a well-developed athlete is being a bit naive. It seems, from your quote above, that you’re attempting to make it too black and white. Why can’t she be “some chick in a thong” who is a “well developed athlete”? Perhaps you were in a hurry and did not mean to make such a fine distinction. I mean, let’s not kid ourselves here. Do you honestly think whoever sat up that photo shoot (whether it be her or her PR rep.) did so in order to show off her muscular build or did so for the sexual content? For some reason, I highly doubt it was to display her build, and it seems to me there is somewhat of a double standard creeping up here…
Thanks for the reply, and, again, this is not meant to stir trouble. I am always up for polite debate with intelligent points, as opposed to name-calling and finger-pointing.

Upon re-reading my post, I realized I have made a “black and white” comparison of my own I should have said something more along the lines of:
“Which of the two do you think was being more highly emphasized by taking those pics? If they wanted to show her musculature, they could have just taken the same picture from the waist up and it still would have been ‘sexy’.”
I don’t understand why conversations here about gross bbers always center around women. Everyone on the Olympia stage is fucking disgusting in my opinion. I respect Ronny because he’s one strong mofo, but the guy looks like a walking erection.
Another poster mentioned dissatisfaction with the fact that women are being asked to cut their muscle mass. First, off, it’s their show; they’re not imposing on anyone. It’s not their “duty” to continue the proud tradition of female bbing. Stop acting like the world should remold itself to suit you. Secondly, how about they just drug test the entire thing? It wouldn’t solve everything, but if everyone on the Olympia stage dropped 20% of their muscle I don’t think I would shed a tear.
