Female muscle

In the Sims community, are muscular female sims frowned upon? I thought this might be true because I saw some mods that keep sims from getting muscular/fat.
Do people find muscular females (sims or IRL) unattractive?
Just to be clear, I'm not a feminist. I'm not trying to promote my opinion, either. Just trying to better understand the perspectives of the community.
EDIT: I don't know what I was thinking when i said that feminist thing. please disregard.

That being said, the majority of my sim females are pretty dang fit because yoga gives me the ability to teleport, and many of my builds have secret occult towers that are only accessible via teleportation. All my wanna be witches are fit and muscular, and I definitely approve of the look on them.
IRL they are cool too, but not the really buff body builder types....
As for beefy females, I love em. My dream body

That being said, although I'm personally not attracted to a bodybuilder type physique, I don't mind it on sims/real people of any gender.
EDIT: With regards to the mods you mentioned I think those just keep sims locked in the body shape you gave them in CAS (I can't confirm this right now). Overall, I think people are using them to prevent the game from altering their sims too much, I can see how storytellers in particular would be upset if their characters changed too drastically. I also think plenty of people idealize their sims' bodies to a certain degree and while some people prefer a very skinny look, others might like a voluptuous or ripped appearance.
I have a wimp, that's supposed to cow tow to his mother, his wife, his boss, pretty much everyone and, i want him to look like a scrawny little wimp so, I don't want him to gain muscles or weight.
Another one is modeled after a heavy set, famous chef so I want her to stay on the fat side.
Another is modeled after Jillian Michaels so, she is one buff lady and, had best stay that way.
My body builder needs to be buff too
My settlers need to stay thin and have moderate muscles because living off farming and gathering w/o power is hard work and, food is scarce that way.

I'm not particularly attracted to an extremely buff figure, but in the end, it doesn't matter to me either way. If all of my Sims looked the same, then I would get bored.
I eat ice cream from the container and I'm pretty fit:D
It doesn't matter if you eat ice cream from the container or from a bowl as long as you don't finish the whole container in one sitting:D
Back to the topic, I do find muscular people/sims attractive. Most of my male sims have their muscle sliders up top. However, for females, I prefer to have it in the middle or slightly above the middle because if I go higher then their waist magically disappears. I like females to be curvy&fit (aka. fitness bikini as opposed to bodybuilding)
That sums it up nicely. I've used (and still do) mods to keep my Sims from being altered, either along the skinny/fat or the musculature sliders. At first, I didn't want to. I had fully intended to play the game as designed and to let in-game fitness activities and such determine their physique.
But for me, it was just too crazy. I tried, but Sim after Sim I kept getting frustrated that it was so difficult to keep a Sim looking relatively as I'd envisioned them. The game (IMO) just makes changes far, far too quickly and radically. I spend a lot of time creating each Sim to my liking, and it was just too hard to maintain them in a reasonable semblance of that liking. So I gave up on the game and went to the mods. Now all my Sims look the way I mean them too, at a loss of a bit of realism from the exercise/nutrition system. Overall, it's much more satisfying for me. YMMV, and all that.
ETA: It really isn't specifically about females or males, nor is it about being 'overly muscular' any more than it's about being 'overly skinny' or 'overly fat' -- the mods, for me, simply prevent what I see as a far too radical system of changes to my Sims. Don't know how/why you seem to have linked the use of these mods to 'muscular females.'
