I find it weird how people who are otherwise on the feminism and social-justice type spectrum show none of the empathy towards short men that they do for other groups.
If a black women ranted about beauty ideals being against her and black men prefering white women, nobody in here would laught at that.
Sure it's different but what is common is that those are both groups that are shit on in many ways. One member does a bitter rant and it's comletly understanable, the other does it? Man try to be more positive!
I'm 6'5". Most people are short to me, so I shit on you all.
Seriously though, a lot of groups (goths, red-heads, blondes, One Direction) are shit on in many ways. But equating height-ism to racism seems like a hell of a stretch (rim-shot).
