Feminine = STRONG.The appeal of female strength is becoming the norm in relations between men and women. But, of course, women aren't doing it to be "sexy", they're doing it to achieve their true potential. It's definitely better if sexiness is connected to strength than weakness, that's for sure. I certainly find strong women attractive, and I know other males who do. Still, there are a lot of patriarchalists who still din't accept female power — they're afraid of it because it undermines their egos. These powerlifting girls are a masculinist's nightmare.
Good video showcasing female strength, and yes totally right yboy, I think I better title for it would be STRONG IS FEMININE. The tone of the title for this kinda still dictates that women have to work out to be attractive to men – sort of men saying yes be strong to improve your bodies but be submissive and give them to still dominant males (even if they are no longer physically as powerful), the new amazon project encouargages sexy pictures of amazons but that is ok because in it they beat crap out of men and their sexiness is for themselves not men, the female is on top she dominates. Men sole purpose is to submit and obey not patronise us by telling us what is sexy or not. It is still motivational though, the size of the weights they are lifting and how cool they look doing it how much stronger and physically more powerful they are to most males, yep girl crush ;p Strong is feminine, lift to crush patriarchy, lift to demasculinise strength, lift to be a real girly, lift for gynarchy #never bow to men #xx>>xy #girrlzzrule Ace
Exactly. I totally get where you are coming from in terms of the "strong = Sexy" vs "strong = Feminine" but we don't necessarily have to attach negative connotations to the word "Sexy" by seeing it purely in terms of how men view women. The New Amazon Nation completely dispenses with the notion of females needing to make themselves attractive to males. The male viewpoint is completely irrelevant as women take the power back and become the decision makers - the predators even.
As Ace correctly points out the sexy outfits worn by the new Amazons in the New Amazon Nation are not for the benefit of men - quite the opposite in fact. Their purpose is to embolden the wearers and intimidate men. Female sexiness can be a powerful psychological weapon where men are concerned and in any case women have a much more complex appreciation for female sexiness than men do anyway. There has never been any doubt in my mind as to the style of outfits that modern Amazons would and should wear....
Xaan, if you'll allow a male reply to this comment … male weakness in the presence of the strong female body is indeed an advantage you can use to put males in their place. The typical male brain is short circuited by the very idea of female strength partly due to patriarchal conditioning, and partly due to its inherent instability and limited capacity.
The perfection of the strong female form has always been threatening to men. We fear it because we know we are unable to equal it. Even the most well developed male body is a clumsy variation, a second rate design, and we all know it, even if some of us (maybe most) are afraid to admit it.
You say "women have a much more complex appreciation for female sexiness than men do" … i can only imagine what that would be like, I think women have a much more complex appreciation and understanding of just about everything.
Although my (male) perspective may be redundant i hope i can offer some useful insight however small. Thank you for allowing my participation.
Hey yboy - of course I'll let you reply and I must thank you for all of your positive contributions to this blog. You have an interesting back story and would make a model male citizen in the New Amazon Nation ;) You had a great teacher by the sounds of it?
The trained female physique is of course an awesome sight to behold and one that men struggle to cope with, especially in a threatening situation.
So intimidating is the sight of a physically robust female that the male’s functionality becomes somewhat impaired. He is partially paralysed by his fear and inability to comprehend the vision that confronts him. You often see this effect in mixed bouts across all combat sports. The female always seems the more confident of the two combatants and always initiates contact. Female victory is usually swift and you often end up concluding that the fight was really over before it had begun. Not that women need to rely on this effect – far from it, but it is another weapon we have at our disposal that men have no answer for. It is another of their weaknesses that we are able to exploit….effortlessly
In the conventional western society, girls are made to feel ashamed for having big thighs and butts, when in actual fact these should be viewed as assets for a girl – they are her most prominent muscles, a sign of her power, her strength – she should be proud of this natural strength and put it to good use. It's ok for men to show off their prominent (albeit inferior) muscles - why shouldn't women show off theirs?
Women enjoy dressing and looking sexy for themselves, for other women and last of all men. Although female sexiness generally blows the male mind, the male appreciation of it is still only one dimensional and the vast majority is wasted on them. In the New Amazon Nation, female sexiness has a different purpose as the power dynamic is reversed.
You show a good understanding and I do appreciate your input. Feel free to ask any other questions...
Thanks for your reply. Thank you for making me feel so welcome. It's an honor. Your posts are amazing and inspiring.
I think redefining "sexiness" to mean strength … feminine strength … is a logical stage in the progression of Amazon destruction of patriarchy. Female sexiness (strength and power of a kind males lack) absolutely blows the male mind. When more women realize the advantage they have because of this, the fall of patriarchy will be hastened. Truth be told, patriarchy will self destruct anyway, since it is a faulty structure, it was always destined to collapse.
The faultiness of patriarchy reflects the faultiness of the male as an organism.
As you point out, those large female thighs and glutes are the prominent feminine muscles, and they provide women with one of their most significant structural advantages; a better, lower center of gravity, greater leg strength and balance. Male pride in the large shoulders and pecs overlooks the importance of having a solid foundation … this is males' greatest weakness and females' greatest strength. The female organism is built on a more solid foundation than the male and everything stems from that.
Trying to please males and their frail egos by being passive and weak has been a trap for women. I think more and more women are now aware of this, don't you think?
I think knowing that women are the stronger component of the power dynamic isn't really a reversal at all … it's a restoration of the true order … the myth of male superiority (in any form) is the real "reversal" that needs to be undone.
With more and more girls being celebrated for their strength, their muscle power, I wonder how young women growing up in a world that is on the threshold of the end of patriarchy feel knowing that the future will be female … but is not quite there yet.
Ace, so well said. As a male I'm all to aware of my gender's tendency to overlook the real power of women and girls. I think most men are just afraid of what will happen when (not "if") women become fully aware that they are in fact the naturally dominant sex and that patriarchy is really only an abberation that has gone on for too long. I was raised by a very strong mother to respect and admire all women. She taught me in no uncertain terms who the superior sex was. I've never understood how so many boys miss the truth … it can only be that they are in denial and resent female strength so much that they do everything they can to divert attention away from their envy of women by objectifying women's sexuality and separating it from strength. Male reversal. It is really males who are weak and subsevient because we are more controlled by sexual urges than our brains (another proof of female mental superiority). But, as you say, women's true sexual power is not for males to define or control. I hope I'm not going on too long, just wanted to say that it's an honor to be able to participate in this blog and celebrate the superior sex. XX > xy.
Women are redefining strength. With all these girls working out as much as they do, girls will become stronger and more muscular looking. The athletic, strong look on girls will be generally accepted and society will benefit from it. I can't speak for all women off course but my wife and her friend workout because it makes them feel powerful and confident. They often smile at each other when they witness the pathetic attempts of men trying to lift as much as they do.
Tasslehoff, It sounds wonderful that you're able to witness the power of you your wife and her friend, especially getting to see their pride in outlifting the outclassed males. It's always a good feeling to see women appreciating each other's abilities.
it wasn't always easy as you might have read. Both women are very strong and dominant. The birth of my children changed a lot for me. I read that you were raised by a very strong mom who taught you to respect all women, which off course is a good thing. My wife and her friend are so close that my son tends to think he has two moms. I'm sure he'll respect women too when he grows up.
You state that your mom taught you who the superior sex is in no uncertain terms. What did she do?
Tesslehoff, my mom simply took any opportunity to remind us boys (me and my two brothers as well as my father, whom she considered just another one of her boys) that we were the inferior sex. Mother was not so lucky having three sons, but her last child was a girl. She called our sister "the finished product" and us boys were the "rough drafts."
I was the youngest of the boys and only a year younger than my sister, who exhibited all the hallmarks of female superiority from an eatly age, solving problems that stumped all us boys and developing her physical skills so early that I was told she was walking and reading before I was.
Though my father had been raised in a very patriarchal household, mother would have none of his patriarchal proclamations, and although she was never abusive to him, she knew how to "hit him where it hurt" in any argument, reminding him that he was "just a man" so he had to defer to her.
Of course the subject of male physical weakness was a frequent topic of conversation, even though we didn't engage in too many contests at home. My sister could beat any of us boys. in pushups, pullups or armwrestling by the time she was a teen, though none of us are particularly athletic.
Mother enjoyed playing cards with her women friends on occasion and, though we boys would be banished to our room, we could hear the women engaging in spirited male-bashing sessions while they played. Sister had her own room and she was free to join the women or do whatever she wanted.
Mother subscribed to feminist magazines … which she encouraged us all to read and I suppose I was the most avid student of feminism among the boys in our family. Maybe it was because I was closer in age to our "finished product" sister and was more fully aware of how much of a "rough draft" we males truly are.
I knew, of course, that not all families were like mine and that women are often in terrible abusive relationships with men, so I became more motivated over the years to learn more about the reasons for such inequity. I really believe that most males are simply afraid of the truth of their (our) natural inferiority to women and will do almost anything to hide that fear, including resorting to violent abuse of women. I recognized some of this rebelliousness in my oldest brother who always seemed angry about things. i think he resented being treated as inferior to his younger sister and I can't really blame him totally since society still reinforced the "eldest son" thing back then, but I know he's never abused women — but much of male anger comes from our resentment of women's natural superiority and so me men are just unstable enough to let it push them too far.
Mother (and father) are gone now, but I hope that I can honor her memory by treating all women with the respect they deserve and teaching other males to do the same.
I have been lucky enough to be the father of a wonderful daughter who also has a strong superior mother to guide her through life.
Your son is lucky to have two mothers … I hope you can also help him to understand the superiority of women and the male role in supporting and respecting them.
Thanks for sharing, it seems your mother was in total control. With the way you were raised it's very hard NOT to believe in female superiority. I can imagine what the male physical weakness conversations were about when you were young because I've had several discussions with my wife and her friend about this subject over the years. Discussions is maybe not the correct word because they are both verbally much stronger than me and they always were able to present arguments and facts which I couldn't refute.
And off course both women were always willing to put their arguments to the test and use their physical power.
Correct me if I'm wrong but What I understand from you is that your mother valued her daughter more than her sons. I hope that didn't cause you or your brothers to have a low self-esteem when you grew up. I'm sure your mom loved all her children and I understand that it is not possible to treat everybody the same as one is clearly so superior. At the moment I see no difference how my son is treated or how my daughter is treated. They are both equally loved and I'm sure that he will respect women later in life.
It's good to read that your daughter has also a strong superior mother who guides her through life. It will help her become the amazon that she can be.
Thanks Tasslehoff. I've never questioned female superiority. It's always been confusing that there is any real doubt about it anywhere. It's always been obvious that girls are smarter than boys. I was friends with girls in school as a child who were so obviously smarter and more capable than the boys as a rule, when there was a smart boy i n the class, he always got so much attention from the teachers … because he was the special smart boy … but he was only as smart as the third or fourth smartest girl, if that, and girls intelligence was taken for granted. We tend to focus on the rare exceptional male and use him as an example of masculinity, when really the exceptional male is actually an example of a male who has more than his share of the female characteristics of strength and intelligence. The average female is as smart as the smartest males. That makes "smarts" a female quality that males sometimes share.
The same is true for physical strength, but the difference is that physical strength has been measured incorrectly. Using the male a a standard and unfairly suppressing female athleticism has led to a world in which females have had to fight their way back to the perception of equality with an inferior opponent. As women finally level the field, they will at last have the chance to show what they can really do.
But, back to your question about mother. Yes, she loved us all equally, and that meant she loved us boys enough to tell us the truth and not pander to our fragile male egos.
She did have a special connection to her daughter which we boys, including dad, recognised was something that us males could only barely comprehend. We had to accept that our male level of communication was stunted comoared with theirs, so there was no way that we could be equal, even if we were equally loved. I think we were all healthier for accepting this natural inequity than we would be if we had tried to deny it.
I guess that gets back to the theme of this topic … strong is sexy … strong is FEMALE … because there is a double standard in nature that favors the female and healthy strong males and females both can see that human potential is sexy, and human potential is best embodied by the powerful fully self confident female.
Has your sister taken up some sport? And how did she deal with all that plenty of natural advantages she obviously knew about since an early age? Constantina
Strong is sexy and feminine i agree but personally i think there is a bit more to just physical. Sexy and feminine also means a lot on the mental side, confident, take shit from no one, dominant. A female who defeats male in physical contest is probably the sexiest of all. Sexy is an attitude too.
The mental side includes a lot more than confidence and "taking shit from no one". For example, Mistresses are smarter, quicker-thinking and more logical than us men. Very useful qualities against the illicit means patriarchy uses against Mistresses, aren't they?
We are better at carrying out duties too, this making us better leaders. Leadership is not a right, it is a duty. Men have been doing it all wrong and I think all of us have seen the results. Constantina
LOL! There are always exceptions. Besides, cooking meals for women is probably one of the things that most males should know how to do well. He's a lucky man that he can serve you.
You guys are naturally good cooks. All men I know are much more skilled in the kitchen than anywhere else. Now regarding my husband, I don't view him as a "lucky servant". I treat him with respect - although some of this blog's readers can't tell the difference between respecting someone and handing oneself over to them. Just as disagreement on its own isn't disrespect but many people disrespect quite a lot those they disagree with. Constantina
In a weightlifting group I was a part of, there were mostly just guys. The few girls who were a part of it, however, stood out the most. They had better technique and were able to progress onto heavier weights much quicker than the guys, and surpassed a lot of them. I think this just goes to show how much more effective female muscle is than male muscle. The female body is able to become stronger so easily that it has to be made for that purpose. Strong is sexy, strong is female.
I can understand why the girls had better technique. Being trained at the same time by the same trainer as the guys, the girls made full use of the natural female advantages that affect technique. I won't claim to know the science behind them, but I do know the difference they make in practice, as I 've had opponents of both genders in Muay Thai (and not only). Constantina
I agree Constantina, it's apparent that the girls have superior technique and strength during the training, buts it's even more obvious when they use that technique in sport. I've never trained in Muay Thai, but I have faced girls in other sports, mostly wrestling as far as combat sports go, and it was complete domination by the amazons there. Did your experience the same result in your intergender sports matches?
Yes, I have actually associated intergender matches with female victory, because that is what happens pretty much every time (the exceptions are few and mainly draws...). This includes the matches I 've taken part in and those I 've watched. I don't pretend to know things I don't know. Constantina
The cooking talent is so common among men that I don't consider it to be a matter of luck. The social majority denies the fact, but still the fact exists. Constantina
I totally agree,
ReplyDeleteAll the girls in this clip look gorgeous and so strong.

Thanks Tasslehoff. I've never questioned female superiority. It's always been confusing that there is any real doubt about it anywhere. It's always been obvious that girls are smarter than boys. I was friends with girls in school as a child who were so obviously smarter and more capable than the boys as a rule, when there was a smart boy i n the class, he always got so much attention from the teachers … because he was the special smart boy … but he was only as smart as the third or fourth smartest girl, if that, and girls intelligence was taken for granted.

Sexy and feminine also means a lot on the mental side, confident, take shit from no one, dominant. A female who defeats male in physical contest is probably the sexiest of all. Sexy is an attitude too.
ReplyDeleteWomanpower is indeed a complete, all-around thing.

The mental side includes a lot more than confidence and "taking shit from no one". For example, Mistresses are smarter, quicker-thinking and more logical than us men. Very useful qualities against the illicit means patriarchy uses against Mistresses, aren't they?
DeleteWe also have more potential at being organised, better sense of discipline and better teamwork.

We are better at carrying out duties too, this making us better leaders. Leadership is not a right, it is a duty. Men have been doing it all wrong and I think all of us have seen the results. Constantina
DeleteThere is really nothing that women cannot do better than males. The list is endless.
DeleteThe list is endless but doesn't include cooking. My husband isn't a professional cook, but he cooks better than I do. Constantina
DeleteLOL! There are always exceptions. Besides, cooking meals for women is probably one of the things that most males should know how to do well. He's a lucky man that he can serve you.
DeleteYou guys are naturally good cooks. All men I know are much more skilled in the kitchen than anywhere else. Now regarding my husband, I don't view him as a "lucky servant". I treat him with respect - although some of this blog's readers can't tell the difference between respecting someone and handing oneself over to them. Just as disagreement on its own isn't disrespect but many people disrespect quite a lot those they disagree with. Constantina
DeleteIn a weightlifting group I was a part of, there were mostly just guys. The few girls who were a part of it, however, stood out the most. They had better technique and were able to progress onto heavier weights much quicker than the guys, and surpassed a lot of them. I think this just goes to show how much more effective female muscle is than male muscle. The female body is able to become stronger so easily that it has to be made for that purpose. Strong is sexy, strong is female.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why the girls had better technique. Being trained at the same time by the same trainer as the guys, the girls made full use of the natural female advantages that affect technique. I won't claim to know the science behind them, but I do know the difference they make in practice, as I 've had opponents of both genders in Muay Thai (and not only). Constantina
DeleteI agree Constantina, it's apparent that the girls have superior technique and strength during the training, buts it's even more obvious when they use that technique in sport. I've never trained in Muay Thai, but I have faced girls in other sports, mostly wrestling as far as combat sports go, and it was complete domination by the amazons there. Did your experience the same result in your intergender sports matches?
DeleteYes, I have actually associated intergender matches with female victory, because that is what happens pretty much every time (the exceptions are few and mainly draws...). This includes the matches I 've taken part in and those I 've watched. I don't pretend to know things I don't know. Constantina
DeleteLuckily for me, it's indeed what I know how to do well. I cook almost daily for my wife and quite often for her friend too.
ReplyDeleteThe cooking talent is so common among men that I don't consider it to be a matter of luck. The social majority denies the fact, but still the fact exists. Constantina
