I like your blogs and packed your post about barefoot walking and shoes on my website (among the recommended links). <br /><br />I just wanted to say that the outdated ideology -bulky arms are not "feminine" and women have to look cute not strong- is ridiculous to me.

Look at the crossfit women, strong, muscular and they are proud of it. Or Lucia Rijker the famous boxer. She is a role model for others. I would love to be so strong and muscular as Rijker but it would be too much work to achieve it.
