Re: What are "manlets" supposed to "learn"?

Goes back to the Misc section of the Body Building forum which is maybe a decade ago at this point. Insecure lanky men above 6 feet would project their own body insecurities onto short men to make them feel better about themselves.

Re: Short people's lives matter, except for short men

Meh, I don't fault her for having a tall boyfriends, but I agree it is interesting when a woman says things that empowers "short people", she usually means herself. I bet short men aren't even on her radar.

Re: It's Time To Become a Protected Class

I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Let me explain why.

What exactly would this accomplish?

This would turn people from talking about us to our faces to behind our backs.
Employers could still cite other reasons for why we weren't hired
It won't make us more attractive to women
Employers could use other methods to screen "only apply if you can lift...."
Shorter people with lesser skills may get ahead causing resentment

Where else would lines be drawn? Will there be height quotas in sports? This would give the government one more massive program to oversee. I am against big government.

What you can do instead of legislation:

Challenge people who insult you for your height
Push people to feel shitty for insinuating you are less able because of your height
Don't let women off the hook for height degrading comments
Challenge businesses who mock short men for profit
Challenge production companies who cast taller actors to play short men in biopics

Short men need to take a page from the Plus Size movement and add a stigma to body shaming. Attitudes would change.
