There's a lot of women who compete in the "physique" and other intermediate categories nowadays. I tend to reserve the "bodybuilder" tag for women who actually compete as such or who are on the obviously large and bulky side, but others may feel differently. Someone like Paige Sandgren is a good example, I couldn't blame anyone for falling on either side of whether the tag is warranted, especially depending on the exact pic. The categories have also changed over the years (some classic early female bodybuilders look more like just muscular fitness competitors nowadays), and a fair amount of former female bodybuilders have slimmed down to the newer physique categories, to make things more confusing.
I get that sometimes some women straddle the line of fitness and bodybuilder, and no tag is better. But I was wondering if there was any reasoning.
Thanks,
