One thing that's distressed me about trying to find a lifting site I like is that there seems to be this "us vs. them" mentality between lifting and cardiovascular exercise. One of the commenters on (I think) Stumptuous said that whenever she sees a middle-aged woman running down the road, she could just cry because it's such a waste of time and effort.

Gosh, I saw that same comment and was really annoyed. a) its not a waste of time; b) how the heck does that commentor know that woman doesn't do weights and cardio?
