But there is hope. My wife and teenage daughter train with me at home.
I always share Inna’s articles with my daughters (15, 16, 20). They appreciate it.
Truth. Good read.
As a Jew, I have to agree with your taste in women. Here's a more historically specific painting of the subject of your suggestion. Some may call it "over the top".Quote:

When they admire my strength, and I talk about how easily they can acquire it, they right away dismiss me, saying, "oh no no, I don't want to get bulky." The men stopped giving me advice and began looking at me differently once my numbers went up, but I think it's the strict gender roles and paternalism of my region that will keep the status quo until more women lift like I do.
I have daughters your ages, too. Good for you for sharing Inna's articles with them and exposing them to healthy body attitudes, normalizing strength as beauty. 🤗
