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.....

Re: Can't seem to find T-Shirts that fit perfectly

I'm sure you can custom make Tees down to the size. Just do a google search. This one came up within the first 10 search results. Don't know them, but it's cool to know they exist.

Re: Has being short made you understand white privilege?

No, it has helped me to understand what it feels like to be discriminated against. That said I don't think the problem is that any specific ethnicity is privileged, I think the problem is that each ethnicity has their own unique privileges and the problem is that everyone does not share the same privileges. It's easy to recognize other peoples privileges, but difficult to recognize ones own.

Black Male:

Super Special Privilege Powers:

1. Super lethal deadly political weapon called the racism card which can be used on any enemy with no more effort than a few words to make an accusation.

2. Women assume black men are well endowed.

3. Coaches just assume your good and you make the team with little scrutiny.

4. You can beat up anyone of any race and it's not considered a hate crime even if it is.

5. It is assumed you cannot be racist.

Asian Male:

Super Special Privilege Powers:

1. As an engineer I've noticed that managers often assume the Asian guy is always right.

2. Definite advantage when it comes to getting a STEM job.

Feel free to add the white male someone, since I am one I think someone who is not would be much more qualified.

Yeah, but all of what you mentioned about "black men" are lost if he's under 5'10. None of the Asian privileges are mitigated by shortness.

Re: "Identical" twins 5'2 and 6'4. How much money do they make? (Video)

Not sure but the shorter guy didn't have a confident face on and his posture wasn't that great, but I could also assume it's because of the comments he was getting.
