THE REAL ?UESTION IS WHY GOOGLE FBBER&ROIDS

I was doing a search online on "female bodybuilding and steroid use" - and I saw some pictures of "women" so massively muscular and striated, and with so many male features that I could only say "Holy smokes!" (Actually, it was a little stronger than "holy smokes". I just don't want to put it here in this article. But the second word after "holy" started with an "s" - and, it certainly wasn't "smokes".)

What I Saw In Those Pictures of Extreme Female Bodybuilders

Not only was the musculature of these women huge and totally "macho-male", their facial features were totally altered as well: jutting "cave man-like" jaw bones, big bulging eyes, excessive wrinkles in the corner of the mouth, and an obvious "rawhide-like" male texture of skin.

What Are Other Physiological Changes in the Female Anatomy of Steroid-Induced Male Musculature

1. Their Voices Deepen - As much as they might want to mask it, their vocal cords change from melodious to baritone.

2. They Become Hirsute - They develop more body hair; facial, chest and back hair become more noticeable.

3. They Lose Their Female Body Odor - They lose that "soft sweet scent of a woman" and their skin begins to exude a characteristically musky male smell.

4. They Develop A Condition Called Clitoromegaly - This is the abnormal enlargement of the female clitoris - which, anatomically speaking in the embryonic stage, is seen as the analog to the male penis. In the case of steroid-induced male development, an otherwise normal female body can develop a clitoris the size of a thumb. (Surprise! Surprise! How scary is that! - or maybe not!)

5. Moodiness and Violent and/or Aggressive Behavior Is Common - These women suffer from what is commonly called "roid rages" which is one of the symptoms of excessive steroid use.

Now we come to the question and the point of this whole article. What is it that drives, leads or encourages a woman to take this path? This is my take on it.

What I Think Happens In The Minds of Female Bodybuilders on Steroids:

1. They Lose Touch With Reality - If you are surrounded by rhinoceroses, (a metaphor for whatever your peer group happens to be), you will feel that looking like a rhinoceros is normal.

2. They Get A Sense and Surge of Power of Believing to Be Equal to or Better Than A Male Physically - The idea of this superiority can be (mentally) intoxicating. Hey, look, the average testosterone-laden, anabolic steroid-induced female bodybuilder can easily bench press 250 lbs. - some can do more. Can you?

3. They Get An Extreme Feeling of Importance Through Misinterpreted Attention - Heads turn as they walk down the street - from both men and women. "Wow! Look at all of this attention I'm getting!" they think. "I must be important!" Well, if a person walks down the street with two heads, they'll get a lot of attention too - but I'm not sure that it is the kind of attention that you really want.

4. An Extremely Male Muscular Body (On A Female Frame) Can Get You Great Publicity - Extreme female bodybuilders can find themselves on stage, on TV spots and even in odd 5-second movie roles. This pseudo-celebrity is very exciting and can be psychologically addicting, especially if there is some monetary compensation attached to it that will help to continue and support their "careers" and chosen lifestyle.

Let Me Make Something Very Clear - (This Is My Point)

I am all for anyone selecting and following any path that they choose. And personally, I don't really care if extreme female bodybuilders use steroids, become "men" and want to continue the promotion and proliferation of their subculture. I feel that they have that right in a free society, and I would be of the first to fight for their right to continue if anyone tried to stop them. I only find it odd that extreme female bodybuilders have a hard time accepting that more than 90% of the people outside of their norm find them unfeminine and very unattractive. Let me ask you this. How many young girls do you think look at photos of massively muscular female bodybuilders, jump up an down and say, "Mommy, mommy, I want to look like that when I grow up!"
