So here's a nice example of a scientific study that has its medical merits, however, is framed in way that supports beauty standards for women through science.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you "In the long run, leggy women live long, have more fun"

"Long legs not only perk up your social life but also protect you from killer diseases."

...and later on:

"It's even suggested that taller women have higher risk of cancer because they spend more time in the sun compared to short, dumpy women."

So things to take from this article:
-short women are "dumpy"
-long-legged, excuse me, "leggy," women have more fun
-long legs perk up your social life

AWESOME.

(as in not awesome)
