So, I have always had a bit of a hip-swinging walk. Most women do, to some extent. When I was younger it embarrassed me a lot. People always seemed to think I was showing off, and I couldn’t do anything really to hide it. I didn’t like to wear heels because high heels are designed to exaggerate it, and I already felt like some kind of caricature.  I was thinking about this, and remembered that it had something to do with bone structure (which would of course account for natural variation, especially combined with weight distribution and musculature). So, I typed in some search terms to get the data. I got a barrage of crap in return. “Sexologists” talking about sexual availability and history of orgasms. Guys talking about girls wanting attention or even secretly wanting to be attacked. Women saying girls do it for attention, girls being apologetic about their hip sway, saying they can’t help it, but feeling guilty about it, like it is some whore’s trick they are subconsciously enacting. And of course Trans sites instructing on how to do it.

Found this on Wikipedia. I think I originally saw this info in a biology textbook at school.

The acetabula (The socket of the hipbone, into which the head of the femur fits) are wider apart in females than in males. In males, the acetabulum faces more laterally, while it faces more anteriorly in females. Consequently, when men walk the leg can move forwards and backwards in a single plane. In women, the leg must swing forward and inward, from where the pivoting head of the femur moves the leg back in another plane. This change in the angle of the femoral head (the highest part of the thigh bone) gives the female gait its characteristic (i.e. swinging of hips).

There is nothing there about sexy. About attraction. This is about function. Like I said before, natural variation is just that, natural, but this is why women’s hips seem to swing when they walk. Like any other natural movement, it can be exaggerated, but it is hard to eradicate, as that would make it difficult to walk. Seriously men, not everything is about you and your dick.
