Feminist – Beautifaire

Female bodybuilders exist outside of traditional notions of femininity, with some positioning it as a queer and feminist act. Nevertheless it’s a bit more nuanced than that When Love Lies Bleeding comes out in May, it would shine a highlight on a version of femininity and the feminine body that we don’t often get to see in mainstream media.
