1	Is height discrimination a thing? Yes it is absolutely a thing. In employment. A 5 foot 2 man faces a wage gap similar to what women face. Https://opencommons.uconn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1432&context=law_review	/r/MensRights	22/11/24 01:56 AM
7	The real wage gap? TIL: There is a study by several PhDs also backed by 45 previous studies, that found out that height impacts salaries. Every inch above average height nets $789. Possible explanations are that tall people are seen as more leader-like and confident. Heightism. That figure is from 20 or so years ago, if I remember correctly. Here is a great paper that combines dozens of studies on this topic: Connecticut law review pdf Highlights: After controlling for education and experience and other factors, each inch of male height is worth 1 to 3 percent in additional salary. Assuming 2%, a 5 foot 2 man makes about 85% of what an average height (5 foot 9.5) man makes, all else equal. Men have higher risk of suicide, right? In a study of 1.3 million men in Sweden,…	/r/MensRights	26/09/23 08:20 PM
1	Weight vs height, is a huge double standard Yea? 5 foot 2 here, married, the rock (and the smallest) of my extended family - the one they come to when they are in a financial squeeze or have life questions, do all my own home repairs, and everything else a "man" does. Your comment is a bit misguided & those of us that live otherwise say you may be missing some information about who is and isn't a man.	/r/PurplePillDebate	24/08/23 09:08 PM
1	Life as a short man Your life isn't over. But for sure, you are playing on hard mode if you are close to 5 feet tall. You have job prospects that are probably as bad as other stigmatized groups. The effect of height on which resume is picked is concerning: result full peer reviewed study Height affects your life in many ways. See the data section (beginning on page 9) in the following connecticut law review article: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1432&context=law_review And, yea, there is…	/r/AllPillDebate	21/07/23 04:45 PM
1	Many men seem to have a misunderstanding of how preferences or boundaries work, and often lash out defensively because of this. I don't disagree. What would you call this?	/r/PurplePillDebate	07/07/23 05:04 PM
1	PPD women be like: Allow me to explain a bit more explicitly - maybe what I was getting at wasn't said in the best way. I wanted to point out a really common one that more people should realize falls into the "too far" category. In general - when women express theirs with the words "I hate short men" it gets plenty of heart reactions often accompanied by silence. This particular social bias can be said in the harshest terms, and nobody attempts to make them accountable.	/r/PurplePillDebate	04/07/23 02:15 PM
1	To the non-red pill men, do you agree with the notion that women ‘age out’ of their prime by 25? Why/why not? True and there is no need for the biggest caveman to protect	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/07/23 12:14 AM
2	To the non-red pill men, do you agree with the notion that women ‘age out’ of their prime by 25? Why/why not? And tall men having some great advantage is a myth as well. Ingenuity and the ability to use surroundings and other means matters and are equalizers. If it weren't that way, small men would have been bred out a long time ago.	/r/PurplePillDebate	01/07/23 12:09 AM
3	PPD women be like: What you describe isn't preferences. That is something else, for sure. Is this preference?	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/06/23 11:39 PM
3	PPD women be like: Like this? Try it yourself	/r/PurplePillDebate	15/06/23 11:36 PM
2	problems for short men Yea - it is probably because reasons like height is correlated with leadership. And the leader is less likely to be in the line of fire. One would think being a smaller target would be an advantage	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/02/23 12:51 AM
11	When is enough, enough? The popular movements miss a key learning: If you want allies, you need to be allies!	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	11/02/23 12:48 AM
9	problems for short men Indeed. I myself as a 5 foot 2 guy have observed that shorter women and men that behave confidently get mocked over it and people seem to not give their words as much credibility. People that meet me in person after remote phonecalls are surprised at my height.	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/02/23 09:28 PM
14	problems for short men Putting this here because it is an excellent resource. Here are some results that are mind blowing: Studies show that resumes presented with a taller person are graded better. In fact, in one comparison study, short men were stigmatized more than ethnic minorities and other groups encompassing religion, gender, sexuality, and more. Suicide rates negatively correlated with height after controlling for socioeconomic factors. After controlling for education and experience, salary is correlated posi…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/02/23 05:59 PM
17	problems for short men How about studies showing that resumes presented with a taller person are graded better? In fact, in one comparison study, short men were stigmatized more than ethnic minorities and other groups encompassing religion, gender, sexuality, and more. Or suicide rates negatively correlated with height after controlling for socioeconomic factors? After controlling for education and experience, salary is correlated positively with height. All this and more in the Connecticut Law Review: https://opencom…	/r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates	09/02/23 05:57 PM

5	Short males suffer from outright discrimination, which, according to research, is no less severe than gender or racial discrimination. This whole thing isn't about dating. The real hypocrisy in culture is workplace discrimination over a genetic trait. The best part of the paper "HEIGHTISM – THE DATA" starts on page 10. It is insane that diversity programs do not acknowledge heightism. If you read this one section of the article, it is ridiculously obvious that the complaints about heightism are true.	/r/MensRights	12/12/22 12:30 PM
6	Short males suffer from outright discrimination, which, according to research, is no less severe than gender or racial discrimination. Look at page 10 "the data" section of the pdf. Here are a couple: They manipulated resume height [imagine pictures along with resume], race, gender, etc and sent them out. They recorded results and height mattered more than the other characteristics. This same thing was measured in two experiments and both observed the same. Teachers estimated student abilities throughout the academic year. The teachers estimates of student ability was correlated with height throughout the year [that means after…	/r/MensRights	12/12/22 12:22 PM
