Since we're on the fat tip today already, I thought I'd take a moment to note that I am absolutely certain it's just a coincidence that the hate mail I'm getting from Dan Savage readers—who evidently can't read a byline—is loaded with fat hatred.

Typically matched with misogyny.

"Fat bitch" and "fat cunt" are, as always, favorites among my correspondents, who are always helpful in reminding me that I am both fat and female.

In case I forgot.
