An opera singer’s backlash wasn’t just sexism

[freshwest]

7. What do these critics know of opera, really? Some of the greatest opera singer of both genders have

been rotund, often quite larger than average.

I've been to live opera performances and their figures were never an issue then. These guys are light weights in the business of judging art.

They have about as much business criticizing this woman as Rush has going after Michelle Obama for her figure. Yes, he and other conservatives really have done that since 2009.

I call this another example of the Simon Cowell genre of judging performance. It's very popular online, too. The more snark or the more insulting a person is, the more clever, witty and intelligent they think they are when they are just shallow, self-absorbed twits.

Such people are the role models now and have more effect on the lives of others and it's sickening. I'm glad so many people are standing up to this puerile bullying.
