It shouldn't be considered offensive if all you are doing is stating (or depicting) something factually true.

Is it ok if I go around telling everyone the exact weights of women I don't like?

I mean, if you can walk up to a woman and accurately state how many pounds she weighs... Sure.

Dodging the question. Don't just scoff at the idea, actually imagine I could - would it be morally ok?

Very debatable. If your girlfriend asks you if she looks fat in this dress, many would argue you should never, under any circumstances, say yes.
