There's been a lot of discussion regarding the current beauty standards and how the media promotes a bodytype that's supposedly not natural and too skinny, made popular mostly by feminist movements.

They usually bring up the "real body type" argument saying that the celebrity women of the 1940-50s were slightly overweight by our current standards and that it was the "normal bodytype" back then, as shown by the media.

This was quickly debunked by a collection of photos and data about the popular celebrity women of that era, showing that the prominent feminist argument is actually a myth.

A collection of photos showing famous actresses and celebrity gals of the 1940s and 50s emerged recently, showing that the argument about weight standards being different in the media was made up by whoever started using it.

Study shows that the most iconic 1940/50s beauties were slim, if not slender, and usually... quite short.

As you can see from these photos,

you don't even need to look at the weight provided next to them to tell that.

Here's an even more specific data coverage.

Nice try, feminists.
