I feel like abs on girls are a relatively new thing, again showing how arbitrary and malleable the beauty standards are. When I was younger I absorbed the beauty standard of women being “curvy and womanly”, so I never really cared about abs in girls. I absolutely did absorb the canon for guys though, and have had to do a lot of self-reflection to realize this is something imposed on me from the outside that I don’t necessarily want for myself.
Interesting, I feel like everywhere I look it’s either abs or skinny fit. I’ve had to carefully cultivate various body-type art in various feeds. But to your point, I can’t really say what it was like growing up other than “thin”. But I had to deal with a lot of issues with my parents in this regard so no idea how accurate that was.
There was absolutely a “women must be incredibly thin” body standard in the 2000s, idk why I personally never particularly absorbed that very much. Fucked up stuff, really.
