Is it a double standard for a woman can't call another woman fat?

For example its not okay for a man to say to a woman "You need to loose some weight" or "you are getting heavier." But is it the same thing with a woman teling another woman? Also what if its your own mother telling you this? Is it a double standard?

    The double standard in this country is that It's ok for fat chicks to tell thinner chicks to "go eat a sandwich" or call them anorexic, but if a thin chick tells a fat chick that she needs to lose weight, then she's either bullying her or trying to make her "conform to society's standards." What's funny is, society now tells us that being fat is beautiful. I disagree. Not because I'm shallow, because I'm honest. Fat chicks use words like "curvy" or "thick" to glorify being overweight, and say things like, "Well if I'm happy like this, then let me be happy." That's all well and good, but clearly, the ones who feel the need to talk shxt about every single female who just so happens to be smaller than them aren't happy, and yet don't want to do what is required to change. Being thick and curvy is sexy. Being fat is not. My thoughts are, if you can do what it took for you to become fat, you can handle being called fat.

    Also, every fat chick blames being overweight on a "medical condition". I'm not buying it. The condition is generally called "laziness". And it makes the handful of people out of every thousand that actually DO have a medical condition which caused them to gain weight look like a bunch of woe-is-me, pity party liars.

    Stop with the stupid slogans and lose weight. "Real men like meat; only dogs want bones." Yeh well, real women don't refer to men as dogs or other women as bones just because they look how you aspire to look ;)

    I guess I am one of the "Handful" of people who actually do have a medical condition that causes me to be overweight due to an inability to exercise...if you had the incurable disease that I have, you would think twice about "Buying it". Dieting does not work without exercise, not even with a dietician's help. Been there, done that. My "Condition" Leaves me with open, draining, and bleeding wounds in my Buttocks, Labia and both sides of my groin....that doesn't make me lazy...No pity party needed.

    It's only considered a double standard if, the person doing the calling doesn't allow the other person to call them a fat pig.

    Why is it not okay to call a woman fat if your a man? If a guy asks me if I think he's fat and he is, I'm going to say yea I think he's fat. Same thing with a woman.
