Let’s reframe this conversation.
Muscle in women isn’t ‘masculine’, it’s metabolically protective. It improves insulin sensitivity, reduces injury risk, supports hormones, protects bones and allows women to age powerfully.
But this is beyond the point! I didn’t build strength for the male gaze, I built it because when I was smaller, softer, quieter, my body felt like something other people felt entitled to. I choose to be a woman who is powerful, not palatable!
