    Lifting weights also keep your muscle as we age very important.

    Exactly! Why is it considered beautiful to be weak? This is like foot binding and fake pockets all over again

      Being “feminine” varies by culture , and is absolutely the main value of attraction for a partner.

      C’mon, you must have something better to do than putting other women down online.

      Why all the hate? Jealousy one could assume…😂

    Don’t understand why all the hate in comments, nothing wrong with staying healthy and strong, and likening her legs to men’s is stupid!

    Most men don’t want a woman to have masculine features..sure lift and be healthy but beauty is in the balance

    • @Captainwafflefry

      October 21, 2025 at 10:23 pm

      If men think muscles are a masculine feature then that sounds like a personal problem

    • @chrisp1582

      October 21, 2025 at 10:42 pm

      @Captainwafflefry You clearly missed the point. Muscles are human nature, but large muscles are masculine. See the difference yet?

    • @chrisp1582

      October 21, 2025 at 10:44 pm

      And if you want to get big muscles, then good luck finding a man that’s interested. That’s not a personal problem, it will become your personal problem.

    • @ruvamsi

      October 21, 2025 at 11:45 pm

      The dedication and lifestyle it takes for a girl to become muscle-y, she’ll find some like minded gym bro that appreciates it

    • @chrisp1582

      October 22, 2025 at 12:08 am

      @ruvamsiYes, but those scenarios are still limited. You’re disregarding the length of time to develop to that point and then still find a man that’s interested. I didn’t say it wasn’t possible. Just limiting your cards on the table. You’re providing a pretty small scale example there.

    Most women will not look like Arnold even with years of hard training and steroids…. Even true for most guys😂

    • @oscarnessbach1284

      October 22, 2025 at 9:06 am

      0 women could ever look like Arnold assuming they went through female puberty, even on every steroid ever

    • @grantstratton2239

      October 22, 2025 at 9:54 am

      Yeah this also isn’t a “male bias” thing. It’s women afraid a gym body will make them less attractive, which is the opposite of true.
      Just a little cut looks great on a woman, and it takes years to get there.

    Thank you for this info and encouragement!

    We alpha males always look for beautiful women with the feminine traits.

  13. @GOD999MODE

    October 22, 2025 at 2:40 am

    Resistance training is all good and fine, but I would be careful going in the deep end with this stuff, bc you can easily cause chronic pain, muscle imbalances and postural issues down the line if you don’t know how to move properly or activate the right muscles.

    Especially with heavy compound movements while not engaging your core well and causing problems for yourself.

  14. @GilesCuckow

    This is a good message, a catalogue cover fakery is not who women should want to be

  15. @SirThyrm

    October 22, 2025 at 2:55 am

    To be honest I am a bigger guy and go to the gym now for 1 1/2 years.
    I have been part of many communities over the years, but non was so supportive and welcoming as the lifting people where.
    Yeah there are more man, but never have I ever seen cat calling and I am very sure that there is a big fella around that would intervene quickly.

    (Maybe not in an McFit or something similar cheap and crappy)

  16. @thenomad9853

    October 22, 2025 at 3:04 am

    “the male bias in gym culture is literally everywhere”.
    When have gyms ever excluded women ?. Seriously do whatever you want. Why has every single item on social media got to be presented as a part of a gender war ?.

  17. @rohanpawar8441

    October 22, 2025 at 6:10 am

    Good yet proganda never stops from fairer gender.

    Well, bulky muscles looks good on men. I prefer women have feminine approach to strength training and maintain body like Candice Swanepoel or any supermodels.

  19. @JustinZupancic

    October 22, 2025 at 8:50 am

    I support women working out but it’s not a battle of the sexes…why does everything have to be a competition??

  20. @bkfromtherockies

    October 22, 2025 at 11:43 am

    I remember giving a speech in junior high school where I had to argue against that bulking mindset with girl classmates! Even at a young age, ladies are unnecessarily against weight training unfortunately.

    Genetics plays a significant role as well

“Truth is the real oxygen for democracy,” says Vjosa Osmani Sadriu, the 6th President of the Republic of Kosovo. As a child of war, she once longed for someone to save her people. Now she’s been in the rooms where decisions are made — and she’s never forgotten what brought her there. In conversation with solutions journalist Angus Hervey, she reflects on what it takes to defend democracy in a world where truth itself is under threat.
