Feminist fitness defends the notion that women work out for them - they ain't training to be your trophy wife.
Men and Muscles
I quit sports before I began high school but it was a great experience. My team almost beat every other junior high (the other team cheated), I made several friends, I got a little bit in shape, and I made some amazing memories. But there are also some negatives.

Female Coaches Deserve a Chance Too
Where are all the female coaches at?! I can honestly say that I have never once as a competitive athlete had a female coach or administrator. The only female coach I ever had was when I was six years old and started playing recreational soccer. Although I have always been aware that the majority of my coaches were male, I had not stopped to consider the fact that most coaches are male and that I had not seen many females in coaching or administrative positions in the sport industry. I think this is incredibly sad and the worst part is that most people still don’t realize how uncommon it is for a female coach to be given the opportunity for success.

But I Might Break a Nail
I was training in a boxing gym where there was only one other woman beside me. She and I never had the pleasure of sparring with each other, but we had no qualms about facing the guys in the ring. Eventually, two more women joined the class. They arrived ready with headgear, hand wraps, and a couple of pairs of very expensive looking boxing gloves. The women were also dressed in the most popular style of workout fashion and wearing makeup. The coach expected everyone to spar, and when he brought that up to those two, their eyes widened in terror. “We actually have to hit people?” they said. They never came back to the gym. They had been there less than two weeks.
