I don't know exactly what Elta's aunt said, but if she said that those 3 women set an unobtainable or impossible standard, then I agree she was wrong*. If she said that the way women are depicted in the media sets an unreasonable standard, then I agree completely, and I think this thread has done a fine job of proving it. The fact that those women are considered average at best by most posters in this thread speaks volumes about what people have come to expect from female bodies.
Spoiler * :
I voted for "impossible standard" anyway because I chose to answer the poll question based on what Elta's aunt probably meant instead of what she may have said. And yes, that is rather presumptuous of me
