Right. "Fat" can have such a negative connotation that I don't blame anyone for not wanting be described as such. Fat usually accompanies "lazy," or implies a lack of intelligence. Not traits with which one wants to be associated.
If a large woman wants to be referred to as "curvy," why should I insist on calling her anytheing else? I guess I see it as simple respect.
