About

Yet Another Unrealistic Standard (for men/women) is the phrase most often associated to humorous images featuring badly proportioned bodies. The subject of this meme are often mannequins that went wrong, poorly manufactured dolls, and photos of actual people that have been extremely distorted via Photoshop.

Origin

The phrase is popular in feminism when discussing body types deemed acceptable by society. The phrase has been overused to the point that it has become trivial and has been associated with humorous images that are clearly unrealistic.

Spread

The instance of the meme can be seen in several sites such as Tumblr, Imgur, and Funnyjunk.

On June 20,2014, the Internet news site Buzzfeed posted an article titled 25 Completely Unrealistic Expectations Of Women In Today’s World that pokes fun at the various images uploaded all over the internet. The article currently has 807,696 views^[1].
