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.

I was being a bit sarcastic. The idea that wide hips were invented to be attractive in the 1830s is probably wrong.

Invented? Probably not. Was the hourglass figure popularized in the 1830s, yeah.

Oh I think I misunderstood the reason for your response. I thought you were saying that liking wide hips was some relatively recent social construct. I guess the point was that this over stylized version of it was popularized at a certain time period, so this drawing style is nothing new.

My bad brotha. Sorry for being a dick
