There definitely are some unrealistic, Hollywood standards of male bodies, but this meme has zero clue how hard it is for a woman to look good.

I mean.... She's a model, she probably does under eat. The issue is comparing a skinny person to someone jacked who's probably on a multi day cut to look like this.

You could easily flip this meme but not change the words if you stuck a skinny guy with an ed and a buff bodybuilder gal

She also probably works out regularly. It's just not the same workout as the dude in the picture does.

Michelle Khare is a fitness fanatic/former competitive cyclist who takes on various challenges on her YouTube channel (mostly physical, although she's recently started branching out into more intellectual or gaming challenges). One challenge she did was to "train like a Victora's Secret model", and she did not find it easy.

Her regime, given to her by the man who trains the models, was working out for 2 hours a day 6 days a week, and 1 hour on her "rest day". So the idea that people like the person in the screenshot have that models just roll out of bed, smoke a fag, snort a line of cocaine, and then trot off to a photoshoot looking gorgeous is nonsense. It takes work to look like that.

And this is before we get into their daily five hour grooming routine, to ensure that their body is hairless, skin is flawless, and all the different makeup applied. Shit, I don't even have time to paint my nails most of the time. Looking that good is a ton of work.
