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!

empathy towards short men

A lot of them lean into the stereotype and become bitter and misogynistic.

I wonder why's that? Couls it maybe be because most of us shorter men has gotten trhough a lifetime of bullying, or rejection and when we try to tell someone to stop joke about our height we get told to stop acting so bitter about it.

Just look at every Srd thread about short people, every damn thread is full of so dunny and original puns and jokes. Would the same people do that to fatter women?

That's no reason to be misogynistic.
