Why is it Acceptable in American culture to bash Overweight Women?

Really. Is it the whole beauty thing with women? People hide behind the guise of caring for people's health, when I highly doubt that's the source for all the attacks. If you care for someone's health, the worse thing to do is belittle and mock them. Would you attack a man with heart disease or diabetes? Or an STD? So why is it ok to attack overweight people? Not to mention it's always overweight WOMEN...not men.
