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.

'twas me -- what I was trying to say was that Leigh didn't post "extreme" pics that the general public might see as out of the ordinary or "Icky". She posted women with relatively attainable bodies, women who appear athletic and strong. The extreme end of female bodybuilders don't fall into that "strong girl next door" range... Just as if she'd posted anorexic pics to show skinny (which she didn't) -- I was saying that she hadn't tried to skew the results by posting pics of people who are at the way far extreme end of things... No prejudice or judgment intended
