Why is it that male athletes aren't allowed to use steroids under the pretense of them being "performance enhancing"? Not just sports people, but MMA, power lifters, bodybuilders, chess masters, and olympians.


Why aren't women in beauty pageants banned for wearing makeup, taking diet pills, and having plastic surgery? Are these not more performance enhancing? Using steroids doesn't make you big. Using steroids allows you to put on more muscle than you naturally could but only if you work out more.

This is a glaring sexist double standard that we as a society of civilized individuals need to address.

Here's a visual example for the educationally disenfranchised who may not be sufficiently literate:

With makeup, diet pills, and plastic surgery
