In 2013 a photo was taken by a Canadian college student called Rosea Lake.

The photo was of a young woman's legs. Or rather the back of them.

Running up the leg were marks for height, with labels.

They supposedly represented judgment of a woman's skirt height, and detailed how conservative the height was on the calf ('matronly'), to how high it was on the upper thigh ('asking for it').

Four days ago Ariel Winter, the 19-year-old star from the US comedy series Modern Family, shared a cartoon version of the image

The cartoon with the labels crossed out went viral on Twitter, from a Tweet sent on 6 June.

The tweet came under criticism for appropriating a cartoon that appropriated the original artist's concept.

However, Ariel's instagram of this cartoon has recieved a positive reaction, with over 130,000 likes at the time of writing.

Ariel Winter is often the subject of articles from certain news outlets which discuss her body at length.
