Seriously? This is fat? I’m referring to the recent uproar over a NY Times critic who took issue with a ballerina who deviated oh-so-slightly from the standard prepubescent girl body type. From where I’m standing, the only way to find fat on this ballerina is with an electron microscope.
Granted, she isn’t the usual willowy, pelvic-bones-threatening-to-burst-through-thin-skin, body type. But she’s hardly fat.
Of course, if she were the standard scrawny ballerina, some would accuse her of being too thin and projecting unrealistic body standards to young women.
Sheesh. We women just can’t win, can we?
In unrelated news, I’m amused to note that spammers have so far scrupulously avoided my post about comment spam. It seems they lack a sense of irony. Heh.
