Gender Equality

New signs that we have advanced on the road to that state of social perfection characterized by girls doing stupid things of the sort normally done only by boys. Studies now suggest that an increasing number of girls, some as young as 9, use steroids to get buff. The AP story is here.

This, of course, parallels other hopeful trends. Before long, for example, as many women as men will smoke cigarettes (here).

Ever onward and upward!

[UPDATE] I am advised by #1 Son that my use of the word "buff" is incorrect, and that I mean, instead, to refer to getting "toned." Who knew?

my POINT was that they're using it to LOSE weight, not to build muscle mass like most people who use them (high school athletes, minor league ballplayers, Alan Greenspan)
