Re: Good thread comparing heightism to colorism Thread Starter

This was from a post on Lipstick Alley, a site for black women. A lot of the darker skinned women complain about "colorism" and how unfair it is, but are quick to denigrate a man because of his height which of course is just as uncontrollable as someone's complexion. This is the first post. I will leave a link to the thread underneath

Is it really comparable though? I don't think so..
I hear men say "women always curve short dudes but they get mad if we prefer light skin women." And "if we were talking about dark skin women about the way y'all talk about short men, you would be mad".
Then my sister was talking about the other day how "all men love tall women because we are goddesses and we hold weight better (she's dark skin btw and she was saying it in a joking way) and one of our cousins is a shorter light skin girl and she said "but y'all hate when men say they prefer light skin women but it's okay for you to talk sh*t about short women". She also then said that "most men would prefer a short light skin girl over a tall dark skin girl anyway, us lightskins always winnin" (Wow right?)
Like why does everything about height have to revert back to colorism. People always want to bring colorism up when we are talking about a whole different topic. You can't compare oppression and slavery to height!

She ended two relationships because she just couldn't get past the height.

Re: Being short has made me realize how lazy people are with themselves Thread Starter

When I hear women complain about how fat they are, guys complain about how broke they are, or people complaining about how big their nose is, about their mole, etc I want to cringe. These are all things that can be fixed with effort or a few thousand dollars and a few days to a few weeks off. Short of Limb Lengthening, which is $100K and requires a two year recovery, there is literally nothing a short man can do to "fix" his "situation".

So knowing that the body image "problems" that people face are fixable within reach and that there is nothing that compares to being a short male in society today... you can be a morbidly obese woman or 4'9 and everyone will think it's just fine, but god forbid you are a man below 5'7.....
