Life's too short to care what most people think. Unfortunately, stereotypes exist everywhere; a female that lifts must want to be a man and will no longer look like a woman...which is quite a common belief...uh-huh, right!
I can't really be bothered to argue with people, it's a waste of time anyway, it generally won't change their very narrow-minded view and even if it did, you can guarantee that the very next day, you'll be changing yet another person's view...and another...and...well, you get the idea.
