Strong is the new sexy. This phrase became popular after some crossfit women and some other sports athletes, who developed muscles through training, proved to be in favor of body freedom and autonomy, and against the idea of the "masculinized" build. .
Following this event, Reebok asked none other than Katrin Davisdsdottir, two-time Games champion and one of the main references for the female audience, to make a video by answering the following question:

7 things not to say to a crossfitter woman:
1 - You are stronger than a woman should be
Of course, because there is a stereotype of force female.
This is one of the main prejudices that a crossfitter woman is accustomed to suffering.
That's why in 2017 some athletes gathered for one nude shoots, in defense of the female body, destroying aesthetic canons and stereotypes.
2 - Can I touch your muscles?
This is a pearl.
Whether he is fit or not, the body is a limit. And it's personal and impassable, and unless you both agree, it's not ideal to ask to be touched. Mostly in the case of a CrossFit® athlete!
3 - How much time do you spend in the gym?
Enough to be able to feel good and achieve goals. Crossfit athletes go to the pits because this is their will or even their profession, so being there is not an effort.
CrossFit becomes a lifestyle, a passion and for which you are not counting the hours!
4 - Are you stronger than me?
Don't ask for what you don't want to hear.
Regardless of the answer, there is no problem with stronger women than men.
And the answer will probably be yes, especially if the crossfitter is Katrin Davidsdottir.
5 - Your hands are very callused!
This is the result of hard work during training.
Just like anyone who does physical activity with dedication, women are also subject to calluses, open hands and all the others "battle signs".
6 - Did your father or brother teach you to train?
No.
Male chauvinist thinking; just because you are a woman it is not said that you learned from a man.
The coach (whether male or female) is the one who taught her to train.
And in the case of Katrin Davidsdottir, she can teach any man to train.
7 - I would never go out with someone stronger than me
It makes you laugh as a statement, doesn't it?
“If you say that, we [women] can make your life easier and do you this favor,” says Katrin Davidsdottir in the video.
And how to give her wrong?
