Heather Radke, in her book 'Butts: A Backstory,' seeks the answer.
But why? Heather Radke, a reporter, essayist, and RadioLab contributor, is determined to find out in Butts: A Backstory.
From anxious self-examinations trying on jeans in department store dressing rooms to enduring crass remarks while walking down the street or high school hallways, a woman's buttocks are constantly being assessed, criticized, and objectified. It is a human-only body part that is critical to our evolution and survival, but it has come to represent so much more: sex, desire, comedy, and shame. Humans have a complicated relationship with butts, whether we love or hate them, think they're sexy or strange, think they're too big, too small, or somewhere in between. But how did we get to this point in history where women's posteriors have become a cultural obsession?
Many women's origin stories begin with their buttocks, the most symbolic and attention-grabbing of female body parts-always too big, too small, too flat, too flabby, too wrong. "Everyone's origin story for how they feel about their adult body is different," writes journalist Heather Radke.
