So were larger men. We even had dignified terms for them like "portly". They were men who had a right to be fat because they were successful. Moreover, thin builds were traditionally associated with the lower classes, poverty and physical labor. I guess what I'm getting at here is that Polly has a tendency to reduce virtually everything to "sexism" and "stereotypes" even when it's totally inappropriate. Does she think fat guys have it easy? I mean really?
