They are out kickboxing, running, weight-lifting. You might even say a feminist cult of the body has developed. One of the great success stories of the last decade is the WNBA, attracting thousands of young girls to sports and athleticism. The most important symbol of womanhood in the past few years was the shot of Brandi Chastain of the triumphant U.S. women's soccer team ripping off her shirt and displaying her rippling abs and her sports bra. On the one hand, it's great, this cult of the body.
Women are proud of their physical selves.
Women are strong and muscular. But on the other hand, there's a drawback. You are 60. Of course not. You are going to take control.
