Medium Magazine article blames men for women rejecting short men
What else is new. From the article: "Being tall is one of the standards of masculinity as defined by the patriarchy" Also from the article: "Men might be passed over because they’re 5’6”, while women are dismissed (and often cruelly so) if they weigh more than 120 pound. I'm not sure how women reject shorter men, but it can't be worse than being told you're a hideous fat pig that no one would ever want to sleep with". What does that have to do with us? You can read the Medium magazine article here. |

She blames all of her problems on men with napoleon complexes
It would have nothing to with her own personality and looks. Go figure... |

Victim of height discrimination in the workplace, but people blame him
Some select tidbits from this Reddit post. It is so bizarre to see people defending this kind of language and behavior in the workplace. Note the comment about "short people not being a protected class" and encouraging shorter guys in particular to just "deal with the bullying and name calling", and more so, implying that this type of hostile behavior should not be called out. Can you imagine how heads in HR would roll if you told someone they had "fat girl syndrome" or "[insert race here] syndrome"? It's as if people want to have a group they can beat up and mock without any repercussions. |
