Need a quick rant :)

So I am tiny (5'3, 55kg), but I like to lift heavy, especially for lower body workouts. I find it really difficult to find dumbells I can grasp comfortably. The middle grip is much to thick for my girly hands! The pretty pink 'feminine' dumbells with the smaller grips only go up to about 3kg. I would love to get a set of powerblocks, but they are almost impossible to source in Australia. Ok, rant over :) I am just kind of sick of the perception that women shouldn't lift heavy...
