I have never thought about this at all. I don't think your friend is right about this. You may not ever find the real answer here. This is a tough question.

Never heard this before ,I dont think that is a custom out here .However from a mans perspective I can see how seeing your wife in something like taht migh motivate a man to want to beat his wife .lol,hope that is not the case where you are .If it was a custom here many women would get a lot of beating because it is very popular here

This is a link to the definition in an urban dictionary. Wich I guess is true to a degree..... but in the same right a stereo type as well.

I really have no idea at all and I'm one of the anxious people who wants to know. This is completely new to me. For once I never saw tank tops that way
