All the sexist comments toward Betty but none toward Fred?

Why is it Betty is constantly criticized for her weight, looks, etc... BUT Fred, who is an over-weight, not so attractive guy is not?

So why is it ok for a man to be a big fat loud mouth slob, but a woman is constantly criticized for it?

No one criticizes John Goodman because he was able to portray the character from the show convincingly, plus his character was fat in the show. The same cannot be said for Rosie.

I don't even remember any comments towards her.

Because the character of Fred IS FAT, Betty on the other hand is thin as a twig
