"Help! My child is taller than me"

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/08/help-my-child-is-taller-than-me

 

I am not sure how I feel about this article. It almost makes a joke of heightism.

"Alexis is three inches taller than me so far – she overtook me suddenly last year and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s quite funny at times, trying to be in “serious mum mode” when you’re looking up. Other times, it’s useful. Alexis can open the security lock on the back door and I can’t – but she can also reach the sweetie jar in the kitchen and I can’t, which is not good, is it?”"

Random thoughts with God and height

So I am not big into the bible or anything but God/Jesus has taught us that we too should look unto someone's heart not their physical appearance when looking at strength and such. I feel like this is one of the best lessons in that book because it shows us that the way we appear on the outside should not matter as much as it does in this world.

How far does heightism go back?

Well I really can't say but I would imagine it has gotten worse then ever over the last 50 or so years. The jokes, the laughs, the sterotyping ect.

How much truth is in this statement?

I am curious on all your thoughts here...

"Fat girls don't like feeling unattractive. Short guys don't like feeling unattractive. No one likes to feel unattractive. But at the end of the day, the majority of guys aren't attracted to fat girls just as much as the majority of girls aren't attracted to short guys. It's not shallow. It's natural. People can't help it."

Do fat women suffer as much as us short men?

I read this story about this woman who is on the larger side dating a man in another country... well just read it for yourself http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/american-beauty-blogger-suffers-internet-2121606

And well, people said mean things about her and to her on her channel because her now husband is skinny while she is not. I feel like this is as comparable to a short man dating a taller woman and being shammed for it. Thoughts?

Why do short men get told to move to other countries?

I have been told this before, sadly. And it sucks. And it hurts. But you have to figure these are the women most men secretly wish went to another country lol

A time when height didn't matter?

Do you think that there was ever a time when height didn't matter? I mean things seem to be more about height/weight then they ever were in history. What do you think?

Is heightism worse after high school?

I am curious about this because I always thought it was the worst in school and it got better but so many have dating problems.

Just food for thought...

The best thing to be in America right now is a black lesbian woman.

The worst thing to be in America right now is a short white gay man.

Go figure. Think it over. It is the truth.

My friend lost his job because of his height

Long story short, he was a stocker and driver. They said they let him go because of cut backs back in March, well today he went up there to drop of his friends keys (he left them at his house last night) and they had 3 new people there, all much taller than him. We both believe he was let go because of his height. Almost everyone (aside from a manager and a few women) that work there are over 5'10. Thoughts?

Gay okay, but not short?

So everyone everywhere is supporting gay and lesbian couples. I am starting to see it in comercials even where there are gay or lesbian couples in ads. So why is something like this being forced under acceptance but a shorter man dating a taller woman is still okay to joke about and look at like it is wrong!? Last time I checked, a penis works the same way in the vagina of a 5'2 woman as it does a 5'10 woman. Gays/Lesbians can't say their equipment works the same in their relationships. I am not trying to offend anyone but I think it is bullshit.

Stumped a girl in my anthropology class

A girl in my anthropology class was talking about how all dictators in history were short and how they are generally unfit leaders. She even made some sick jokes about how short guys should be phased out. The convo went like this:

 

Girl: Short guys overcompensate too much that's why all dictators are short
Me: What about Saddam Hussein, he was 6'3
Girl: Well that's modern times. When is the last time you've seen a short AMERICAN leader who has done anything good for humanity
Me: Martin Luther King Jr was only 5'6
Girl: Eww. No he wasn't. He was like super tall. All great leaders are tall
Me: Pulls out this picture on my laptop
Girl: Quiet for 30 seconds...w..w...well, people were shorter back then anyway, so he couldn't be that short... No way....

This woman hates really short men.

 

This woman thinks that guys shorter than 5'8 have no business approaching her.
