The following picture was posted in Geoffrey Arnold's TheSocialComplex blog on Tumblr as well as on r/short in Reddit. It features a Plus Size woman and Short Guy admiring art which glorifies their person, As plus sized women were pedestalized in the Victorian era and Napoleon is (still) considered larger than life, they gaze into times where their person would've been the ideal. The piece is called "Wrong Century".

At work today the subject of marriage came up. I am still a Bachelor. Woman asks why. I respond "I'm not ready to get married yet". She responds, "Don't you want to get married so you can have midget babies?". Thinking to myself does this woman realize she was being really offensive?

It seems like the soccer players are getting taller in countries with small populations. Guillermo Ochoa from Mexico is 6'. Who are some of the best soccer players who are short. Aren't most soccer players short?

I recently invested in a condominum in Brooklyn, NYC. The seller was a tall gentleman who showed me around prior to sale. I would say he was about 6'4. He installed some shelves and they were all very high, maybe at his eye level. Obviously, I feel uncomfortable with shelves being so high in my new apartment. I plan on removing the shelves, but replacing them much lower. I love his choice of shelves, they're just too high.

For those of you who install your own shelves and are short, how high do you have them in your home?

Where is he hiding? He was posting here a lot in the first month and then disappeared. Did he retire?

Look at this video that someone posted over in r/short. Kevin Hart is playing basketball with Josh Hutcherson. They're both wearing sneakers and Hutcherson doesn't look much bigger than Hart. The difference in height is miniscule and I mean that with no exaggeration. Do you think he overstates his height?

JIANG TAO, who is below the average height for a Chinese man, has brought a case against a branch of China's central bank for discriminating against job applicants who are on the short side. If he succeeds, which he may well not, the case will strike a blow for the smaller citizen. But its potential ramifications go much further.

Mr Jiang is the first person to persuade a district court in China to consider if a citizen's constitutional rights have been infringed by a government institution. In his lawsuit he accuses the bank of breaching Article 33 of the constitution, which says that all citizens are equal before the law. His lawyer, Zhou Wei, says the lawsuit is significant because it opens up the way for citizens actually to make use of their constitutional rights.

Such height requirements are common in China. Shanghai's East China University of Politics and Law says that male students must be at least 1.70 metres in height and females 1.60 metres. Since these heights are about the same as the national average for university students from urban areas, and students from rural areas tend to be a bit smaller, roughly half the age-group is automatically ineligible.

This was taken from an article in the Economist. You can find it here

They ended up abolishing these requirements in 2005, but I wonder how often it does on behind the scenes. It makes me think a lot about Height Discrimination works here. How can we be sure we're not being discrimated against because of Height in Employment?
 

The only height discrimination cases I've ever seen in the U.S. were filed by women.

I'm amazed at this 5'6 3/4 "little guy"'s track times as a High School athlete. Look:

Then he broke a bunch of franchise records in 2011 and was voted as one of the Top 100 players in 2012. Why don't we see more small guys in Football and Track?
