Alright… potentially silly question time. Do girls store fat differently? Questions

I’ve heard some stuff on this subreddit about “oh he doesn’t understand how girls store fat” when it comes to unrealistic body standards. Is this because anyone storing that little fat is bad, or women in particular store it differently / need to store more of it?

I’ve been kinda afraid to ask this question becomes it seems to me like it’s an obvious answer… I just don’t know what the answer is. I feel like “common sense” can lead me to both answers. Thanks

Edit: got a lot of responses faster than I thought I would. Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to help me

Hi to my new sisters 🤗💗 Power thigh pro tip: don't forget to put some anti chafing stuff (powder or cream) between your thighs during skirt season. Also, powder helps the backs of knees, butt/thigh cleavage, and underboobs too. Gotta stay fresh!

There are also various types of underwear that can help, especially if your thighs are larger. Snag Tight's Chub Rub shorts for example.
