"  Lance Armstrong said many shocking things during his sit-down with Oprah. The weirdest, though, was his debunking of the story that he called his former teammate&amp;#039;s wife a &amp;quot;fat, crazy, b*tch.&amp;quot; His response: &amp;quot;I called her a crazy b*tch, but I never called her fat.&amp;quot; Um...good for you? Is fat the worst thing you can call a woman? If the insult was in reference to a man, I&amp;#039;m sure the emphasis would&amp;#039;ve been on the one actually derogatory word in that insult. No one should be ridiculed because of their weight. (As news anchor Jennifer Livingston reminded us in October, &amp;quot;You know nothing about me but what you see on the outside...And I am much more than a number on a scale.&amp;quot;) But this seems to be morphing, inexplicably, into a female-centric insult. Women who men want to put down, regardless of their mental health or stature, are &amp;quot;crazy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;fat.&amp;quot; So I&amp;#039;m glad Lance cleared their air of the &amp;quot;fat&amp;quot; charge. Betsy Andreu, the woman at the other end of this insult, is toned and fit so calling her fat would just be weird. But oddly, Lance claimed responsibility for the worst parts of what he said. Was she crazy because she outed him for doping before he was ready to confess? Or maybe because she claims to have known all along? She&amp;#039;s a b*tch because she told the truth when he was too cowardly?  In an interview, Andreu told Anderson Cooper last night that Armstrong is &amp;quot;cherry-picking the truth.&amp;quot; He&amp;#039;s also, evidently, cherry-picking his insults.  Do you think &amp;quot;fat&amp;quot; is the worst thing a man can call a woman? Follow Emma on Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
