The new “body positive” topic is “hip dips”. I literally had to Google wtf people were talking about when I started seeing these posts. I don’t classify this as a body positive movement..... if anything it’s drawing light to false information regarding a women’s body’s structure and giving a lot of women another reason to hate their body or be self-conscious. The last post I read about hip dips I literally thought... ??? What? I have to worry about that now?? It’s so weird. I feel like it’s insecure women bringing this up as a “positive” topic to “embrace your hip dips” which in-turn is only causing more to notice to us even having these.. cause let’s face it, I bet I’m not the only one just learning that this is a thing. There’s even multiple exercises and videos claiming to show women how to get rid of them....

Most women have noticeable hip dips. I hate even using that term because that’s like saying “most women have arms”. It’s part of our body structure. This one article I read explains it as: “Hip dips are caused by the shape of your pelvis. Although not everyone will have noticeable hip dips, if reduced to a skeleton, all of us would have an indentation where the hip bone meets the top of the thigh. Hip dips are a normal part of your body's structure”. So there you have it. Throw that stupid term and insecurity in the garbage. I’ve solved your new self confidence issue.
