  4. Female bodybuilding started in the 1970’s and since then has given females the opportunity to show that men are not the only ones who can have massive muscles that can win the title to a professional bodybuilder.

  5. Female Body Building • Society has mixed feelings about this issue, which has led to a lot of gender discrimination in the bodybuilding area. Many people see this as nasty, wrong, and completely against the idea of being a women. • While others see this as a beautiful way to express themselves as well as an art form.

  6. Men dressing up like women, acting like women and looking like women is looked upon as transgender or they are seen as “gay.” Is this the same for these women? • Are these women wanting to be men? Are they lesbians? • The answer is no. Or mostly no. • They plain and simple enjoy their muscular bodies. There's no money to be won.

  7. Feminine or not? • In order for the femininity to not be lost in the sport the IFBB started the rules that the sport must stay in the lines to still show the femininity of the women. • The rules started off with deducting points if the women’s muscles were too big, and if they did not present themselves as ladies. • Now they have three categories directed by weight. Light weight, middle weight, and heavy weight

  8. Rules: • Well maintained hair • Feet and hands must be manicured • Must perform in a two piece • Must have make up • Present yourself as the gender you are
