RustyMemberWe’ve all been conditioned to believe that aggression, action and physicality are unfeminine. There is also the rampant belief that women are naturally physically weaker than men. Not so. Physical strength and stamina are a matter of work, exercise and conditioning, not gender. A male couch potato is not going to be any stronger than a female one. Slowly but surely, women ARE breaking into ‘guy’ sports, and playing them well. We just got a women’s pro football league – women’s pro hockey can’t be far behind (my favorite sport, too). Let ’em be shocked: Keep watching hockey, and any other sports that strike you. And go play them – more and more women and girls are registering with such entities as USAHockey. It’s an uphill battle, but the double standard is slowly being eroded.

RustyMemberI think it has a great deal to do with the different attitudes females were encouraged to have in our grandmothers’ day; their lives were pretty much centered on finding a man and raising a family. My grandmother constantly tells me I’ll never ‘catch a man’ if I don’t start ‘dressing more feminine.’ I am a straight woman but not girly by any stretch; I prefer Levi’s to skirts and hate makeup, so the blue-jeaned, bare-faced woman the world sees is who I really am. Perhaps it’s selfishness on our part, but many young women don’t want to put on a facade and pretend to be something they’re not just for the sake of ‘catching a man.’ Most of us would prefer a man who loves the person we are and not the window dressing.
