"CrossFit Women: Why Not Roar?" by Lisbeth Darsh, owner/trainer at CrossFit Watertown.
I'm a woman and I'm confused: I love CrossFit even though, according to the dominant theories on women and competition, I should not. CrossFit, with its quasi-military culture, posting of standings, and inherent performance-oriented hierarchy should make me want to run screaming in the other direction toward some scrapbooking club or, at least, a nail salon. (Lucky for me, I don't like either place. In fact, I'd rather have my nails pulled out than endure another vacuous conversation centering on hair or nails or whether somebody's butt looks big in a pair of jeans.) CrossFit is a competitive beast. We grunt, lift heavy weights, talk about "snatches" and, when someone fails to meet our standards, we call them the pejorative term for a kitty. I'm not certain this is what our grandmothers would call "normal" behavior for women.
What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs that wrestles? Dustin F---ing Carter!
"He's our miracle," said his mother, Lori Carter. "He's my hero. He's my son, but he's also my hero."
