Sex Won't Give You A Big Butt + Other Myths About Women's Bodies


Since the beginning of patriarchal time, men have policed women's voices, rights, bodies, and sexual identities.

You can imagine of course, that there have been many false belief systems that even some women still subscribe to. This piece will address and debunk five of the major misconceptions about the female form and psyche.

Scientists have actually insisted that women wear bras as little as possible.

So, just get over the myth guys! The only thing that defies gravity around here is a Black girl's hair, so leave our tatas alone!
