'Many of the 20- and 30-something women the weekly interview for its story said their ideal butt shape is "like a foreigner's."

"The human coccygeal, or tailbone, corresponds to the tail of a dog. When a dog feels good about itself, it raises its tail and gives it a wag. It's proof the dog feels good," Umihara tells AERA. "That women now want a more raised posterior is proof of their liberation from the male dominated society that had expected their obedience and may be an unconscious expression of their delight."
That's one of the most batshit insane feminist theories I've ever seen, and I have run across some really crazy ones.
