Society teaches us early on that certain bodily functions belong behind closed doors. Girls, in particular, receive subtle and overt messages that femininity equals being dainty, polite, and—even in private—odorless. These lessons compound over time, so by adulthood many women instinctively clamp down on natural urges, fearing shame more than discomfort.



Women often absorb the idea that to be “ladylike” means suppressing anything deemed crude. From infants being dressed in pastel pink and handed porcelain dolls, to teenagers receiving lectures about manners, the message is clear: avoid anything that might make you feel or seem less “proper.” This conditioning makes farting a taboo that many feel compelled to hide.



Embarrassment isn’t unique to women, but when layered over gendered expectations it intensifies. Concerns include:
- Worrying about being judged as unattractive or unhygienic
- Fear of drawing attention in social or romantic settings
- Internalized shame that one’s body is somehow flawed if it “misbehaves”
These anxieties drive the impulse to pretend flatulence never happens.


The good news is that every human body farts—on average 10–20 times a day. Embracing that reality can be liberating:
- Normalizing the conversation with trusted friends or partners
- Laughing about it to diffuse tension and shame
- Learning more about your digestive health so unexpected gas feels less alarming
Acknowledging a perfectly natural process can take away its power to embarrass.


Why not test the waters yourself? Next time you feel the urge to hide a fart, notice your reaction. Are you actually at risk of harm, or just repeating a childhood lesson? Sharing an honest moment can deepen connections and chip away at outdated rules about how women “should” behave.
What other natural aspects of ourselves do you find tricky to own? Let’s keep unraveling the social scripts that hold us back.
