Anonymous asked: Haha, oh my word, the belly cupping was insane! But I don't think the comments were racist? I'm not sure, seemed like a difference in opinion. I guess for some women belly cupping is natural but for other pregnant women it isn't a natural instinct. But Holding your belly whilst pregnant is considered gauche and tacky? Yeah, that was out of line. Reminds me when ppl shame women for breastfeeding in public.
There is nothing wrong with belly cupping. Sure, it might seem a bit cheesy, but so what? We don’t know what Meghan was thinking doing it, so I’d rather not assign intent, and assume it was done for attention. Cultures are different. Brits generally are more reserved than Americans and to some of them it might seem a little bit too much, but it is not Meghan’s fault.
When I moved to the US I realized that Americans, for example, are often very uncomfortable with nudity. Some women got mad at me for not being fully covered up in the women-only sauna.Oh, the horror, they saw another women’s breasts, lol !!!
