In my immediate family I am the shortest male - 5'4"; my brother is a whopping 5'6" and father was about 5'7" (can't really remember). My stature is the result of bad genes-- classic Italian short guy syndrome, with my uncles, grandfathers, and all my great uncles being no more than 5'5" either. But, then there are my male cousins and second cousins: many of them made it up in to normal height range and have had successful lives being blissfully unaware of any height issues. Many of them are quite self-assured because they have never suffered the emotional distress of being short. Maybe about five of them are my size, and I love standing around talking to them at a family party: it's SOOOO nice to talk to their faces, not their chests. Another factor is that my mother was stressed by shock and grief and smoked heavily during her pregnancy with me. Doctors claim it stunted my growth.

This is pretty rough. How old are you again? I can see why you would feel this way, however being that your family members are all around your height, you didn't really get "cheated".

Re: Is this heightism? You'll know the part.

There are a lot of things here that can be interpreted as heightist. Though the comments about stature were made from a woman to another woman, we all know that in real life, the shorter brunette would face few if any social repercussions for being short. If anything, the real difference between the two is the taller one having the face, height and body for a model where the other is more of a Plain Jane. If she did her hair, put on some makeup and some high heels, she too could look more like a model and command the same attention. She isn't "that short".

The real heightism (of effects from) are the gasps when the Progressive team discovers their guy has a taller woman who is out of his league. How dare he? How can Joe Normal pull that off? No doubt, even if he had a more attractive face, it would still be "shocking" for a small man to reel in a woman of "that quality".
