UK-based Botswana artiste, Lorraine Lionheart who recently launched a sex based podcast called TASSO, has expressed her thoughts over how the African society judge curvy women.

The outspoken entertainer said the society feel they are stakeholders and feel they can tell curvy women what to wear and what not to wear.

She wrote on Instagram: “I have never understood why it is ok for slimmer women to wear whatever they want and reveal whatever they wish, owning their bodies and their sexuality publicly if they like without provoking anyone, but the moment you have curves society suddenly feel they are stakeholders in your body and can tell you what you can and can’t reveal, what you can and can’t wear. It is heartbreaking that so many women are imprisoned by their own curves because they have been conditioned to be ashamed of such amazing God’s display of creativity.

Not saying all women must flaunt their bodies. But I am saying all women must own their bodies and their sexuality. Their rights to do what they wish to do with their bodies must be respected.

Why is it that especially in black/African communities , a skinny woman can stroll down the beach wearing a thong and seen as beautiful but a curvy woman wearing the exact same thing doing the exact same thing is seen as sexually provocative and sometimes even shamed for public indecency and subjected to cat callings?

What is it that is so intimidating and threatening about a woman’s curves? About a woman taking total ownership of her body and her sexuality? Why is female power feared? A woman’s body is a very important part of her femininity, otherwise people who feel they are women trapped in men’s bodies would not feel the need to physically transform themselves. They would stay quite happily in feminine energy but with penises. We can teach young girls sacredness without conditioning them to fear their own bodies”
