  I'm not sure of the rules but I don't see how women being judged for the perfect body are allowed to have breast implants.
  Doesn't it defeat the purpose? Plus they often look ridiculous.

  A lot of them are obviously pumped up with PEDs and they just look horrible to me. I'm sure some people have a fetish for them though. And no, passing dope tests doesn't mean much to me in any sport because testing is a joke.
  
  Rachel McLish, the world champion female body builder from the early 1980's might just about be someone who got there without steroids and she looks nice in comparison. That demonstrates to me how far a woman devoting most of their time to body building can get without them.

  The Golden Age of BB was back in the 60s, 70s and mid 80s (i.e. the era of Arnold, Ferrigno, Mentzer, Boyer..).
  
  With so much steroid abuse these days, they look more like freaks than genuine body builders.

  If it's aesthetics, I can see why women react to male BB like I do to female BB.
  
  Prefer a fat bird.

  Similar to stripping, on stage, to music, wearing little
  The men can become huge, about twenty stone

  From the first few photos on google it still seems that she went down the cosmetic surgery route though. Just seems strange to me that they put all of that time & effort into fine tuning their body then slap in a couple of water bombs.

  It's because men as a general rule appear to be into breasts, so women feel that pressure to have breasts. They've somehow become a symbol of being female, amongst other things, so a woman who doesn't have much in the way of breasts probably can feel invalidated and gets less male attention.
