Heightism
Why are so many people in denial about heightism?
post #1

It's literally everywhere, from everyday conversation to the workplace to dating and in social settings. Why do so many people deny it exists? Even when you press people, they'll cave in and be like "okay", but then go on some rant about how it's not that bad or serious.

First welcome to the forum. Second, from visiting other forums whenever heightism is brought up, it's typically 5'8-5'11 guys complaining which makes it seem more whiny than actually real. Third, since it's mostly men complaining, it's framed largely as a men's issue and you know how society feels about men's issues.

Mens issues and how they are viewed, thats a good point!

Also i think its very similar to the gay topic, that people say that they support it, but really dont want anything to do with it.

Cause everybody wanna be a good person, it easier to say than to do.

Short people thrown into a conversation about eugenics on national news

Horrible that shortness is being touted as a disability, but the representative makes a good point about people (really women) doing this naturally anyway. It only becomes a problem though when men are the ones choosing the traits they want their offspring to inherit.

"Don't make height your entire personality"... Meanwhile: Tall people

An entire convention. And of course, short women are there.

You know if we had a meetup, there would be no admiration. Just jokes.

Why do people refuse to accept the struggles of short men?

I made a post on reddit, in some big sub. I tried to make an honest appeal to the normies there. I talked about the struggles short men face, and I didn't even bring up dating. I linked several statistics and talked about difficulties at the work place, bullying, depression and suicide rates, etc

The post got downvoted and nobody addressed any of the arguments. Some guy in the comments said I wrote it with chat GPT, which is hilarious considering it was very obviously not AI, and half the top posts there are AI. I got one gaslighting comment talking about how short guys live longer or something

Reddit is generally left wing. Aren't they supposed to care about oppression?

At least the right is honest.
