Well hey, it's nice to see some of you dropped the facade and are just being outright ignorant and bigoted so I don't have to explain why you're being sexist pigs! you just are, it's easy to see, and I don't feel the need to elaborate!

Seriously 'women can't be strong' is one of the worst takes I've seen on this forum and I've seen some real doozies.

Who has said that women can't be strong? I know a world champion powerlifter, among others, and would state otherwise (I know quite a few who are currently much stronger than I am myself). I can only speak for myself, but my main argument in my posts is that a female of Abby's height will have serious problems packing on that kind of mass without using chemical enhancement. You can call me a bigot or ignorant if you want to (it seems to be your hobby as of late), I'm only speaking from personal insights and experience with a wide range of environments and group with a focus on physique, strength and training, as well as simple science and biology. Even tall men have trouble bulking up a lot without retaining a lot of body fat (I should know, I myself am 6'4" and weighed about 300 pounds at my strongest) as their frames will look proportionately different, it's also very hard to become vascular. One can note that the average height of all Mr.Olympia winners is around 5'7", significantly below the male average, and for the very reasons I just stated above.

Then again, I'm probably just an ignorant bigot who spent many years training and living with various fitness athletes, bodybuilders, strongmen and professional martial artists (mostly MMA) so what do I know.

Edit; look at something as simple as the Square - Cube law and how it pertains to human height to see more closely what I mean in my posts (unless the Square - Cube law is considered a sexist, bigot's tool, that is).
