Heightism Don't look down at me! A short man's perspective on heightism Started by ahimsa42 Don't look down at me! A short man's perspective on heightism http://dontlookdownatme.blogspot.com/	3	1,864	Sat Jan 16, 2016 07:59 AM by ahimsa42
Heightism Heightism in Scandinavia Started by mojoman Heightism in Scandinavia Hi, I had the perception that women in Europe were less heightist than in North America. Lately I have been reading that women in the Scandinavian countries hate short men and won't date them. By short I mean 5'5 -5'7 range. I know average height for men there is like six feet. I thought I would ask if any short men in the range I mentioned do well with the ladies there are or are we like pariahs?	4	4,170	Sat Jan 02, 2016 02:38 AM by GoKnicks

Heightism Would feminism help the short man? Started by unknown Would feminism help the short man? Just a thought that came to mind. What do you guys think? Would it help alleviate the prejudice against us? Would it change the culture in a way that gives more acceptance? Share your thoughts in the poll and the comment section. I'll be posting my thoughts later as I'm currently working on a research proposal. (Please keep in mind there are different definitions and connotations of feminism.) -unknown	5	8,335	Tue Nov 24, 2015 05:39 PM by EggySchmeggy

Heightism This is really irking me. Started by unknown This is really irking me. You know, all this say that the short man makes minimal financial gain compared to the taller man really provokes me. So, I wanted to ask: What are career do you have? or What are you pursuing? -unknown	5	2,367	Thu Oct 29, 2015 06:34 PM by Dez
Heightism Being a short man in America Started by Hunter Being a short man in America I read this blog post and wanted to share a sad truth from it... In the 23 years that have passed since then, I’ve come to two major conclusions about being a short man in North American society and they are thus: It sucks and no one wants to hear you complain about it.	3	2,077	Wed Oct 28, 2015 04:04 PM by GoKnicks
Heightism Height and Children Started by halloom Height and Children Hello everyone, This my first post. I am lucky enough to have met a wonderful lady sometime ago and I now have two children (boy and a girl). As they will soon be starting school I went to meet other parents. I couldn't help but notice that not only was I the shortest guy (not very surprising) but for all the couples that were there, there was not one guy that was at least eye level with the woman. All the men were a few inches taller. Not one! For some reason I found this to very disconcerting. Anyway, I am secretly worried. I've not discussed this anyone. My kids will probably be taller than me when they start high school or have friends at my eye level. I am worried that they will be too embarrassed to be with me because I am very short. I am really scared. How to deal with this? Any ideas?	3	1,779	Tue Oct 27, 2015 07:39 PM by ShortNProud
Heightism Proof of Body Shaming Started by MrDixon Proof of Body Shaming I am not sure if anyone knows what "Whisper" is. It is basically an App that allows its users to confess things they normally wouldn't to people or on social networks. I came across this post on Buzzfeed and it honestly makes me feel ashamed to be me. So many dudes out there suffer because of something they can't control and even though I find dates, and I find girlfriends... It is always in the back of my mind that she "wants better".	5	2,455	Tue Oct 27, 2015 07:09 PM by MrDixon
Heightism The feminist hypocrisy Started by joshbaskins The feminist hypocrisy They will talk all day about women and men are equal, but then will turn around and say how they "prefer" (require) that their men be tall, make as much or more money and be physically stronger (than them and other men). After reading that Jezebel article, I made this meme, because it is accurate. While we're at it, let's do a poll. Do you think Feminists truly care about erasing gender norms?	5	3,925	Mon Sep 28, 2015 04:55 PM by MrDixon
Heightism Women set goals to have tall children now? Started by Jinx Women set goals to have tall children now? Read this comment and threw up a little... The question was "Do you want your kids to be tall?" Her response : I married a 6'7" (200cm) guy. My GOAL was to have tall children! As is, the boy will be about average height with his current height projections, while my daughters will be 70th-80th percentile. Oh well.	5	2,342	Fri Sep 25, 2015 08:24 PM by Bonez

Heightism Is feminism making heightism worse? Started by DarkWillow Is feminism making heightism worse? Me and a few friends were talking about this and I know the height crap has been around for sometime but it seems to have gotten a lot worse since the big feminism movement. Maybe it is just be but I feel like these types of women are so power hungry that they view men as objects and most want one that not only good looking and tall, but makes good money. They claim to be about empowering women but they preach on other women being free and careless with their bodies, "having sex like men" as they say, and being in power in every relationship they are in.	4	2,666	Mon Sep 07, 2015 01:26 PM by ShortNProud
Heightism It's always been rough being a short guy Started by minilinebacker It's always been rough being a short guy If you think heightism is a recent phenomena, so some current "social justice movement", or just became a "thing" recently, then you're sadly mistaken. As we try to bring attention to it now and people are more vocal than ever about it, it's as old as time and something that every generation of short fellas have to deal with. Take a look at some of these little ditties from the past: People Magazine article from 1980 Time Magazine article from 1971 Jeffersons Season 6 Episode 2 - A Short Story Don't kid yourselves, heightism has been around forever.	6	2,402	Fri Sep 04, 2015 07:25 PM by Catman
