Here is a link to a "height" search. Searching "short men" will yield some even wilder conversations.

Great post. It's very frustrating hearing younger short guys come up with these theories that heightism is way worse now than it was in the past. Social media is just allowing more voices to be heard.

This is an excellent time capsule to show average folks having an unfiltered discussion about the same things we talk about today.
