Re: Greek interview of short Korean war veteran rejected for a job because of height Thread Starter

The man in the video served in Korea for 1–2 years. Returning home, he applied for an army job as a veteran. A general, mistaking him at first for an American, asked his height after noticing his short stature. When the veteran said 1.60 m (5'3"), the general told him to leave, citing a 1.70 m (5'7") height requirement still enforced today. The veteran protested, noting no one measured him before the war despite multiple medical exams. The argument escalated, but the general refused him, forcing him into years of petty jobs. A decade later, a governor who knew of his sacrifices gave him a decent job. In the video, he still resents the general for the injustice.

Re: Female executives did not want a woman taller than the lead in Back To The Future Thread Starter

Seems like no one had a problem with this except for the female executives. Their issue with this lead them to fire Melora Hardin, the tall woman.

Re: Medium Magazine article blames men for women rejecting short men

The worst part of articles like these are that the female writer "pretends to not know" what's going on, and the saving face by trying to suggest that they too do not have a taller (much taller) height preference in men.

These pieces always read like a hot pile or garbage.
