Not to pick on the poster, but this statement is not exactly an "accepting" statement for women who choose this path for themselves. It exemplifies exactly what the article talks about. We are no better than the skinny girls in the video if we find the female body-builders on roids to be too bulky and amazon. Acceptance is what I took from the article. I accept those who want to be small and those who want to get big and compete even at top levels. A fit body is a good body. The way that body looks (after the genetics part of course) is a personal prefrence thing and it is all good.

Well, that is you interpreting her meaning. Maybe "masculine" to her meant that mannish face that seems to take something more than just low bf levels for women to get. Or maybe it wasn't a disapproving comment at all, but simply saying "it's not like the pics were at the extreme end of the bulky continuum" or whathaveyou.
And from that you infer her level of acceptance of said roid-shootin bbers, and from THAT infer her acceptance of other points on that side of the continuum.
