It wasn't so much the half-assed version of the true "Women-are-being-sold-a-bullshit-beauty-standard-by-deeply-misogynist-industries", as the odd, almost surreal quality of the words that are almost (to me) unconnected with the picture. Like I said, it brought Barbara Kruger's work to mind.
If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say the captioner was making (again) a half-assed, watered-down version of a truism (aforementioned misogynist industries of "beauty" and Hollywood), this based on the fact Bettie Page, like Marilyn Monroe, has become a symbol for big women (we'll overlook the fact that neither were at any point "big" women themselves).
I just liked the (I'm sure) unintentional Kruger quality. ^_^ I'm sure that's a lot like those people that collected wadded-up trash 'cuz they think it looks like a star or something.
