[Addendum to the Outrage of Yesterday]

I should explain why it bothers me so much that people are so insensitive.  I’ve always been strong-willed and for the most part self-assured (albeit a little off-the-wall), but I know and care about a number of people who are not.  There are a lot of girls working with the public who are affected by such comments, some of whom I’ve worked with who have quickly asked me immediately following, “Am I fat??”  There is no reason any of them should have to feel weird… Continue reading
