Yes, that is probably right. Here in Peru, my boyfriend studied with an Afroperuvian woman who constantly complained that people told her she was "scandalous" because she has big thighs, and she wished she didn't have them to keep people from thinking badly of her. It's a bind, women get harassed for looking too sexual or when they are not sexual enough. Geesh.
