Women are using their breasts to hold pens in bizarre new craze of proving 'true' womanhood
It's a simple idea. Lift up your top, put a pen or pencil under your breast and if it is held in place, you're a 'true' woman. Snap a selfie and post it on social media.

Some have even taken it a step further, experimenting with make-up brushes and bottles. It's similar to the #holdacokewithyourboob challenge which saw hundreds of women tricked into posting topless snaps.
Pictures have already been shared millions of times across Chinese social media channels by users, often accompanied by the caption: "Pass the challenge to prove you're a true woman."
As with many other viral trends, it seems to really just be another way to show off your physique, following in the footsteps of the craze of reaching around your back to touch your belly button.
The trend has caused some debate on Chinese microblogging website Sina Weibo, with some users complaining that some have an "unfair advantage" in being granted large breasts as a result of genetics.
So for those of us who aren't so well-endowed in the chest department, our womanhood is being called into question.
Aimee Fletcher, who has undergone a double mastectomy, hit back at the concept on Twitter by posting a photograph of her own chest.
Aimee told Mirror Online: "Some people are so stupid and willing to do anything just to get their bodies on the Internet!
"I think that true womanhood comes from within, you are not defined as a woman by how you appear externally.
