Has being short made you understand white privilege?
As a short Asian man, it helped me to understand it better. Both share a common attribute. Those who are a part of the privileged group don't realize they have it and those who aren't a part of the group realize the price they pay for not being a part of that group/class. |

"He was a great man but diminutive"
Why is that whenever I read articles in print and online or hear people talk about shorter people in person, they always undercut a man's accomplishments by pointing out his lack of stature? |

Why are so many people in denial about heightism?
It's literally everywhere, from everyday conversation to the workplace to dating and in social settings. Why do so many people deny it exists? Even when you press people, they'll cave in and be like "okay", but then go on some rant about how it's not that bad or serious. |

Can we blame educators for perpetuating heightism?
I witnessed something very interesting in the classroom yesterday afternoon. I co-teach with this female educator, let's call her Nancy. During a lesson on the book "To Kill A Mockingbird", we staged a reenactment of one of the scenes from the reading via reinterpretation. We allowed the kids to draf a more "modern" script using more relevant present day scenarios. We allowed the kids to use props, but they were limited to items in the classroom. Anyway, there were three kids in a group, all Middle School students. Two of the boys in this group were relatively tall for their age (about 5'9), the other 5'2-5'3. All of the kids in the group asked for an item that wasn't in the room, but downstairs in the auditorium. The smallest kid asked to go retrieve it. My co-teacher ignored the shorter student's request and sent both of the taller students to get the item. The thing is I knew she did this because she imagined the taller students to be more capable, even though the shorter student articulated clearly from a point of knowledge that he knew what he would have to do. This was confirmed when I confronted her about it. This has me wondering. Do we reinforce heightism from young age? |

Do women really face heightism though?....
I've read posts on other forums where women claim to be offended when they are picked up, pat on the head and aren't taken seriously professionally, but in all my years on this earth, I have NEVER seen a woman picked up without being asked to (at work? from a stranger?) or pat on the head. If anything, men go crazy over short women and I see far more short women in positions of a authority (store manager for example) than I do men who are of a similar stature. So tell me, where do women have it as bad as short men when it comes to heightism? |

You need tall people and women on your side to fight height bigotry
Without them it wouldn't work. Think about Racism and Homophobia. It was abolitionists who helped push for emancipation. If it were just blacks, it wouldn't have went anywhere. It was heterosexual people who spoke out against intolerance towards gays and lesbians. Because height bigotry affects short men disproportionately and no one cares about men's problems, you would need women and tall men to speak on your behalf in order for any "movement" to take root. |

Short Men and 'Social Justice'
Greetings everyone,
Because we are in a time with 'social justice', where people are very insecure with their 'social identities' and are trying to change the status quo as well as promoting liberal thought, the curious thoughts came to me: Is heightism going to be addressed now? and If so, would it lead to negative ramifications? Here are my thoughts on these: I remain indifferent yet thoughtful. Though it's nice that this would be addressed, I think it would be fair not to do anything about it. Why? Because bringing attention to this matter would proliferate the negativity towards the shorter man. We don't need more negativity towards us. Fortunately, from my experiences, I think that heightism towards us is quite rare in most public spheres. However, if the shorter man is in the dating sphere, then apparently, he will experience heightism. All I say is that 'ghosting' and leaving this issue in the dark remains stable in a neutral way, which may be positive.
Let me know what you think. |

Youtube Pranks are a good case study in seeing girls hate on short guy
alot of Youtube Pranks have guys hitting on random girls and going up to random girls, if a guy is on the short side, a girl is almost always going to be rejectful of him and if a guy is on the tall side, a girl is going to always be open to him, seeing this has really made me realize what I have been missing out on and it has made me bitter |

Why do men who are average/tall wish they were taller?
Something I've always noticed is that men who are like 5'9-5'10 and even 6' wish they were taller yet. Why do people deny heightism when people who are already average want to be taller to reap the social benefits that come along with it? |

Haters jab at Kevin Hart's success and new bride
I get it that Kevin Hart supposedly cheated on his first wife, but so what? So did Steve Harvey and a bunch of other Celebrities, but the first piece of shit thing that comes to all of the commentator's minds are "Hope she cheats on you with a basketball player", "She's only with you for your money, if you weren't famous you wouldn't have a chance". What the fuck? |
