Why is it more acceptable for a boy to be 'chubby' than for a girl to be 'fat'?

Girls bodies are supposed to store more fat than boys, yet our society still accepts a 'chubby' boy over a 'fat' girl.

Update:

and below we have the reason that our society is as f*cked up as it is

    Media. Fat guys are funny, and the center of attention. A real guys guy, you know? Fat women are portrayed to be disgusting and useless. Media is bogus. Have your own thoughts, don't let the media think for you. Rise up and fight back.

    because women in this society have placed all their value in appearance you think with the feminist movement and womens rights they would have changed that but i guess not, beauty gives women too much power and thats why every woman wants to be beautiful

    pretty much if most women not all stopped buying cosmetics and using their looks to get them what they want society would put less pressure on them, infact i dont even thinks its society i think the pressure comes from womens fierce competition to look prettier than one another

    Boys can store it better because of clothing, etc.
