9 Things People With Big Butts Will Understand

by Liz Black

Butts — we all got one. There have been songs dedicated to them, careers have been launched because of them, advertisements love to use them as a sight gag, scientists study them, and the art world is clearly obsessed with women with big butts. And even though there are all types of butts in this world — flat, tight, small, jiggly, bubble, pancake — it seems like big butts are the latest "body trend," (and yes, the idea of a "body trend" is obviously a ridiculous notion).

With Vogue declaring this to be the "era of the big booty," and threats of Internet breakage thanks to one big badonkadonk, the zeitgeist is brimming with big butts. It's hard to pinpoint exactly when everyone became so booty-focused. Depending on who you ask, blame can be placed with J. Lo, or Kim Kardashian, or, (and here's a great historical throwback), Saartjie Baartman, aka "Hottentot Venus." I like to think that it all began with the Venus of Willendorf, one of the earliest known pieces of art to depict the human form.

Although I've been #blessed with a tuchus that just won't quit, there are some frustrations that come along with having some extra junk in your trunk. From the struggle of fittin' all 'dem genes in your jeans, to the daily danger of unintentionally knocking things (and people) down with your booty, sometimes you're not even ready for your own jelly.

Just remember, with great butt comes great responsibility.
