Why is it considered socially acceptable for men to be judged by to opposite sex based on baldness and/or lack of height (both of which are unpreventable), but one is not allowed to judge a woman based on her weight (which it TOTALLY preventable)?

Since I've had some quite immature replies, let me expand. I teach physiology courses and actually had a student offended when I stated "the amount of fat you have". She started on about how women are judged based on "something they can't help", which she further elaborated as their weight. I disagreed totally and explained how weight is 100% controllable, and then asked her if she would date a man 4-5 inches shorter than her (NO), or a man with male pattern baldness (NO). When presented with these scenarios, she quickly silenced up.
Now perhaps some intelligent responses will arrive.

Whatever.
Who says you're not allowed? Are you another sad male example of feminization.
Judge females by any criteria you see fit. And change only when it suites YOU to change.
But first find that ghostly outline where your nads used to be and grow a set.

Anyone that bases people on looks alone is pretty shallow.

Those judgments are made all the time. What's not allowed is to shoot your kisser off about it.
