Math vs. Feelings

There's a current tv commercial that starts with a line of text stating that "More than one woman feels like the fattest woman in the room". I think they are trying to invoke feelings of sympathy from the audience, but I cannot help but think that 'these women need a lesson in simple math.'

The law of Maximums and Minimums would tell them that there can only be one fattest women in the room (and one thinnest).

This leads me to wonder if women had better math skills, would thay have more self confidence? They'd certainly have better paying jobs.

How's that for an obscure microrant?
