Do I look fat? Classic male error

The Columnist Manifesto looked at the "Do I look fat?" question from a lawyerly standpoint earlier this week (HT Grandpa John's). It's a funny, informative post, but deeply in error. The occasion of "the question" is not a time for eloquence and wise word choice; instead, it is a matter of fight or flight. As a male, you really only have those two choices. You may gird your loins for battle or run like hell. I recommend run like hell.
