VII. Moving toward integrative feminist evolutionary behavioral sciences
There is a long history of mostly antagonist interactions between feminist and evolutionary scholarship in the behavioral sciences. However, recent theoretical and empirical advances have highlighted that “nature” and “nurture” are not mutually exclusive, or even divorceable, levels of explanation. New developments in evolutionary theory, articulated under the name of “the extended synthesis,” show significant promise for integrating feminist and…

By contrast to the competitive and participatory models of sport, the immersive model (Heywood 2006, 2008) shows greater potentiality as a healthful practice more distant from transcendent, technocratic aspects of other models, instead accepting the body's immanence as part of evolutionary history and the natural world. Because of the largely unconscious, evolutionarily based responses to one's environment, the environment in which a sporting act…
Women of Steel
A lot of people in general public think female bodybuilding is gross and freaky ...that that's not what a woman is supposed to look like. So says Michelle, a national bodybuilding judge.

Her argument ranges from Plato to women's bodybuilding…
