Has Britney Spears manly arms?

Oh my, I never noticed this.
I’ll have to do more research…
In my bunk.

Do you think she looks too muscular in some these pics that I’ve posted? In which pic do you think she looked more muscular?

Here’s your historical fetish twin

Hannah Cullwick: Victorian Fetishists of the “Filthy” Working Class Body

Munby, unlike most of his class, did not want the signifiers of class to be made invisible (not that he was in any way interested in equality); in fact, he relished and fetishised these markers of class. Part of the pleasure he found in Cullwick, and subsequently passed on to her, was not be be ashamed of her filthy work and of getting dirty, but to be proud of it, to enjoy and display it. Cullwick’s strong body, grimy after fourteen hours of work, was filthy; this excited Munby, and when visiting her he would ask if Cullwick would stay “in her dirt” for him. His photographs reveal he was particularly interested in her hands and arms as these parts gave the most visible evidence of doing “a hard day’s work”, so in many of Munby’s pictures, hands and arms are a central focus. In the second and third pictures here, dressed as a chimney sweep covered in soot, Cullwick’s strong, large, shapely arms are displayed to full effect. In the picture left, Cullwick is actually lifting her sleeve to exhibit her muscles: as Carol Mavor remarks, “she wore her thirteen-and-one-half-inch biceps as proudly as she wore her dirt”.

LOL what a ugly woman. She is not even muscular. Britney’s muscles are way bigger than her

I just realized her arms looks very muscular in some pics

I wouldn’t say manly; her guns aren’t much bigger thanKaley Cuoco’s

Spears has always, on her game, had the physique of a fitness model - obvious muscle tone, but not ripped to the point of looking vascular. She is, at her core, a big ol’ country girl, and she’ll never be a waif. Her options are fit/toned and big/meaty, and we’ve seen both.

Cuoco’s arms are bigg too but less muscled than Britney’s I think.

Did Britney even looked physically stronger than nowadays in her prime?

No, the men you’re thinking of have womanly arms.

@Exapno_Mapcase

No matter what forum, toned female arms are not manly looking.

This. Even assuming these aren’t photoshopped, at most she looks like she exercises some.

Outside of being muscular, hairy, veiny, and having big hands I’m not sure just what a woman’s arms being “manly” would be anyway. And she certainly doesn’t have that.

You can tell she’s been doing her shrugs in that last pic!

@Danny92

IMO, ‘too muscular for a woaman’ it’s when she looks as strong as average male than don’t works out or areN’T into sports.

OK, I agree with Ambivilad, you’ve set the bar ridiculously low. Her arms look great in those photos.

Some guys are breast men, some guys notice legs. Ambi notices the traps!

Shouldn’t it be Cafe, since she is (ostensibly) a singer?

[Thylacine]

I have worked very hard to put some good muscle on my delicate little frame and if anyone tries to tell me that makes me manly I will kick their bloody arse from here to breakfast. Not all women are built princessy, some of us like being strong, it does not make us lesser women or more manly, it makes us strong women.

The one where she’s holding a whole pie in a ceramic dish with one hand. Or the one where she’s holding a trophy with one hand. See a pattern here?

Is not a set bar. The average men than don’t works out is way stronger tha average female than lifts some weight.

[Danny92]

It’s not a low bar

[Maserschmidt]

The question of course is whether she secretly hiding a pregnancy. Is that a bump I see, or a shadow!?

[JRDelirious]

As the individual in question sang herself:

I’m Miss “Extra, extra, this just in”
(You wanna piece of me?)
I’m Miss “She’s too thick, oh, now she’s too thin”
(You wanna piece of me?)
Put me in for not seeing anything unbecomingly manly about Miss Spears’ arms. She obviously does strength exercises and so do many women. A lady who looked like that would be welcome to share in a friendly grapple at the mat any day

@epbrown01

Exactly. Given the choice, an athletic look is a good and healthy and yes, attractive choice. Sure when we met her she looked like a 17-year-old schoolgirl tease … because she WAS a 17-year-old. There’s nothing that can bring that back and she’s better off not trying.

The OP, for his viewing pleasure, may want to check out Madonna, who depending on what point in her training schedule she’s at, can get quite ripped.

Or how about Shakira’s abs…
…um… I seem to have lost my train of thought just now, I’ll be running along…

Who cares? Either you like a fit woman or you don’t. The fact that lots of women can achieve a well muscled physique if they work out means that it simply a matter of society, not biology.

You don’t like it, we get it. But why should women care?

I was thinking the same thing. He’s pretty much the male version of Claire.
