The CrossFit Games is a competition that famously and aggressively strives to be equivalent in its prize and competitive structures regardless of gender. And on Wednesday, it celebrated International Women's Day, which commemorates the movement for women's rights worldwide, by sharing a post from Games legend Michele Letendre:

The photo was shot by photographer Johany Jutras and is part of a project meant to challenge the notion that women, muscles, and strength don't go together. Jutras' series has a few other fantastic photos as well:

The reaction has been largely positive, with a lot of respectful comments admiring the fruits of Letendre's hard work and her choice to challenge people's comfort zones. On the other hand, there have been plenty of comments asking why she had to be naked, what nudity has to do with strength, and my personal favorite, "so when is International Men's Day?!"

What do you think?
