That's an easy statement to make when you have been born in the US or Canada and have the luxury of all that life offers here. Very easy to make. I have enough Eastern Europe acquaintances of Melania Trump's age and I can promise you, they wouldn't sniff or turn their nose up making remarks about "the women's movement." They tend to be realists and if being blessed with physical assets good enough to make them a model gave them a ticket out of what was still a communist country, then they indeed would be very thankful for height and long legs.
But to be blunt, doesn't every model today thank her lucky stars for her physical attributes? They don't pay big bucks to model if you are short and chubby. Being short, I wish they did. We don't have a lot of physically unattractive movie or TV stars. They are likely grateful for their looks. We autotune "singers" to within an inch of their lives rather than have a singer with a great voice who just isn't attractive. I may not like these things, but they are true. To recognize them is not setting the women's movement back. It's simply observing what goes on. And that is in America. In Eastern Europe, Melania had far fewer options and opportunities. Modeling was a great way out.
