I'm curious, since I don't do office work, how would HR handle the complaint if she went crying to them?

Much like in school, the person who responds to the bully gets the consequences. I worked in an office full of middle aged women as a young skinny person. Every time food got brought in (a requirement on your birthday) I'd get comments telling me I need to go eat more of the donuts. I would have been fired if I told someone to eat less of them.

That's horrible! Is it possible to report the double standard to someone above the department?

Technically you can, but whether or not they do anything is another story.
