response: Yes!  It began in the late 1970s when women began to enter bodybuilding competitions.
history: Have you ever seen those beauty pageant reality shows? I was actually a pageant winner but I wish I could go back and never take part. Wow congratulations!  I've never seen any but know they are multi-tiered with local competitions feeding into larger ones Really? Like going from state to nationals? I'm not really sure I'm familiar with that form, there would be local and organizational pageants but I never took part of anything bigger than that. well the term refers to contests for UNmarried women, like the Big Four International pageans.  Similar evens for men and boys are typically bodybuilding contests I've never heard of this! Does that mean ms. universe is unmarried? Do the men in their contests have to be unmarried as well? Well any individual engaging in bodybuilding is referred to as a bodybuilder, doesn't specify if they are single. Oh, so can women can take part of those contests too?
