When you're shopping online for mens-cut T-shirts, the default size is large. When you're shopping for women's T-shirts. the default size is small. When you're playing Rock Band and creating your own character, the default size for a man is maximum height, maximum weight--and he comes out looking tall and buff. On a woman, it defaults to just about the lowest possible height and weight--any taller and she looks out of proportion, and there's no flattering way to add weight: she's either rail-skinny or fat.
Am I overreacting, or do i sense a double standard here?

yes, in fact, you are.
yes, in fact, you are. gender norms and standards for appearance are everywhere. The only way to defeat them is to step outside of them ourselves.
Be yourself. 'Cause if you're busy being somebody else, who's gonna be you?
you're right.
I've noticed that on rockband too.
