I was cleaning out my closet this week, because months after my observation that my old blouses do not fit my new shoulders, they were still sitting in my closet.
I was texting Joe, because he's the person I always text about lifting, and I said, "It's not that I want less muscle. It just feels weird, in a culture that prizes petiteness, to say, 'No, actually, I like these broad shoulders. I am planning to stay in bigger clothes.' Patriarchy, man." He texted back: "How can you overthrow the patriarchy with small delts?"
This, I feel, belongs on a workout tank top.
