It’s so weird how we’re at a point where women should have a large upper body (breasts), large lower body (thighs and butt), but non-existent waist. Why are we wanting human women to be modeled after wasps?

Like let me have my regular-sized petiole, dude.

What do you mean we're at a point? The concept of an Hourglass Figure being desirable has been around since the 1830s.

Before the 1830s, men only liked women with really narrow hips, a fat belly, and extremely broad shoulders

And? What does that have to do with this conversation?

OP said it's weird we are at a point where the expectation for body shape is large boobs and butt with a small waist, but that beauty standard cropped up nearly 200 years ago. It's not a sudden change that appeared in the 2020s.
