You need tall people and women on your side to fight height bigotry

Without them it wouldn't work. Think about Racism and Homophobia. It was abolitionists who helped push for emancipation. If it were just blacks, it wouldn't have went anywhere. It was heterosexual people who spoke out against intolerance towards gays and lesbians. 

Because height bigotry affects short men disproportionately and no one cares about men's problems, you would need women and tall men to speak on your behalf in order for any "movement" to take root.

I see what you are doing, and its a good deed. but the problem is, that it is not yet socially acceptable for a man to ask for help from others that do not sit in the same wagon.

In general, having people of the opposite talkin on your behalf makes us look weak in this exact moment.

 

You are looking at it the wrong way tho'. blacks, gays etc are not primitive issues, but short people are, especially men who are seen as lesser.

So then what would your approach be?

In short, i would much rather fight for the right of men to talk about feelings without being seen as a baby, bring down the suicide rate. And first then, make people aware of the very issue that is at hand with short guys.

In order to fix one problem you sometimes have to fix dosins.
