Like one scientist told me that like, you know, it wouldn't be very convenient to store a bunch of fat in like your elbows or your knees, you'd topple over. But it's definitely true that women have more fat on their bodies than men. And generally they store that fat in their butts, which is not generally the case for men.

Yeah, well, I think your understanding is probably more true about how we actually live our lives. But the fashion industry dictates what's, you know, what butts are fashionable, just like they dictate what, you know, breast size is fashionable, or, you know, whether we should wear shoulder pads or any number of other kind of ways that we ought to look.

One of the times we see this most potently actually is in the last 30 years. In the early 90s, if you look at, you know, if you look at every issue of every Vogue in the early 90s, the kind of models you see on the front are going to be people like Kate Moss. You know, that's a very thin body. It's a woman who's, you know, she spoke to a trend at the time called heroin chic.

You know, it's like super, super thin, super bony, not a lot of fat. But by 2015, 2014, you know, a lot of magazines were calling 2014 the year of the butt. All of a sudden, well, it's not really all of a sudden, but by that time, the ideal butt, the ideal body was much more curvy. The ideal butt was much bigger.
