Of course I had to write under pen names, because I doubt that many bodybuilders were interested in reading an article by a 15-year-old girl about the best way to build 22-inch biceps!<br>BFS: Where did you train?<br>Dayton: At a European health spa, where at the time they had separate hours for men and women. But that all started to change very, very quickly, as women started to get more involved in lifting weights. <br><br>BFS: At first did the health clubs resent women lifting weights?<br>Dayton: No, the fact is most health clubs were men-only because no women wanted to train there. But gym owners loved it when women started getting into weight training because that meant more memberships for them.<br><br>BFS: You were involved in promoting the sport of women s bodybuilding from the very beginning, even becoming the editor of a magazine strictly devoted to the sport called Strength Training for Beauty. What was your interest in this activity?<br>Dayton: With three brothers I grew up with the injustice of male and female inequality continually in my face. The guys poured the cement and built the fences while I brought lemonade to them. Being the odd one out, I wanted to build the fence!<br>I got involved in the women s awareness movement very early, trying to find out why so many avenues were unavailable to women and where we fit it. Even after I acquired my master s degree, I found it difficult to find work not only because I was so young but also simply because I was a woman. For me, women s bodybuilding was just part of the sociological search by many women to find out who they really were, and at time I found it fascinating. I didn t view it as being a jock; I was coming from the academic world.<br> <br>BFS: What was the appeal of bodybuilding contests for women?<br>Dayton: They were opportunities for women to get into a beauty contest and not be judged on their genetics or how blond their hair was or how big their eyes were or how much money their parents had at least that is how I and a number of other women viewed it. For a moment in time, it brought the beauty contest into reach of every woman in the world. That was a very magical, wonderful and empowering moment.<br>But it turned out to be just a moment. Eventually Doris Barrilieua was tossed out as the token Weider female and the women s contests fell under the control of the men in the industry. Male judges picked the women they would most want to sleep with, rather than the women who most deserved the title.<br><br>BFS: Is that why the sport didn t catch on?<br>Dayton: Women s bodybuilding would have caught on fine as just another excuse to show T and A. But what happened was the women got serious about training. They wanted to see how strong they could become.<br>Not knowing any better, they trained side-by-side with the men, not only training with them and following the same diet but also eventually taking the same drugs. The women became freaks, just like the men. They didn t know that steroids have a permanent effect on women because they don t on men. Women bodybuilders paid a terrible price for this knowledge. They also lost sight of any sociological impact they might have had and became like the men, obsessed about their own egos and muscle size. What choice did they have? they couldn t go back to being feminine. The public withdrew their support, the sport faded, and the men in the Weider organization replaced women s bodybuilding with women s fitness, which is just an excuse to watch women perform sexy dances and parade around for the men. They just happen to be very well-built w
