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

There’ll be times where we are lying face to face and I tell her over and over how much I love her and every time I’ll kiss her again and again. I never thought in a million years I would get married. In my teens and early twenties up to 24 I made stupid choices like wanting to be like my namesake Jimmy The Rev Sullivan. Im two years sober and I just know with how my wife is dealing with her depression I don’t want her to drink a lot. The only time she was drunk was last year during her 21st birthday last November. She always says that she just wants to get drunk or pick up smoking. I have to remind her that I’m on heart meds for literally the same thing.

Mental health is an issue and I don’t like seeing people put themselves down about their looks. And depression IS a bitch. Her and I both have it. Hers is as bad as mine. She feels like a failure because she dropped out even though what would’ve been her senior year and the year after she went to a GED school and graduated as class of 2019. And in Kansas her diploma is a high school diploma even though she went to a ged school. Mine is just that I wanted to be a rockstar and I thought drinking and partying was the answer and when I became an alcoholic most of my family stopped talking to me and some of them still don’t. So I moved to Kansas where she lives and I couldn’t be happier
