Re: Heightism Throwback: DirecTV "Petite Randy Moss".

I vividly remember this disaster of an ad. If I remember correctly, the marketing director at an ad agency (not this one) also did a negative write-up and the negative comments on YouTube started blowing up to the poitnt where those comments had a slight edge over the ones praising the ad as "marketing genius".

Looks like they (the industry) still haven't learned.

Re: George Stephanopoulos apologizes for being frank after Biden interview

This is why television personalities and celebrities tend to be a bit stand-offish with strangers. It's not just becasue of arrogance. You seriously don't know what the motive of people are sometimes.

Re: Heightism just a form of sexism

I wouldn't say that it is a form per se, but they are definitely connected.

Up until the 1960s, the New York Police Department had a height requirement of 5'7.

That changed when women were allowed to join the force.

You can find a New York Times article outlining that here.

Re: In 2023, NYC made height discrimination illegal

This one was a long time coming. I noticed this immediately when it popped up in our annual mandatory harassment training webinar a few weeks ago.

Though it wasn't codified yet, I've seen a few people over the years, mostly men get taken into the dreaded HR office after making jokes at a fat woman's expense. This was never equal across the board though, because I've seen executives and line-employees alike laugh off jokes made at a man's expense.

In the name of equality, this is a win-win.
