Making this poll even longer would have been an even bigger mess, but I think you also had to break it into separate categories by gender, because there is a significant difference in attitudes towards lifting between males and females, and thus the answers would be very different, IMO.

Some of my college professors would call that sexism.. I call it common sense.

Any way, I don't lift weights and I chose the 11- range. I do pushups and pull ups now and then when I'm bored, other than that not much of a workout guy.

It is not sexism to observe that a difference exsists between two genders in their attitude towards something. I am not suggesting that there is an underlying feature specific to females that makes them incapable of lifting weights. I am simply making observation about group behavior.

I know, when I posted I had just got out of my social issues class, in which my professor has accused me of being sexist for making similar observations. He's a nut.
