Shortphobia

Away_Entrance1185 · 2023-11-03T20:59:22+00:00

Men's rights is intersectional, if you're short and female, life is amazing (the same for tall and female, or average and female), but short men always face discrimination. This is a unique male issue and it's something society doesn't care about because it only happens to males.

I’m a 5’4” guy so I feel the not liking short men thing.

Good idea. Doubt it will catch on.

Bc men love to promote the unfair standards of women as a means of lowering competition to women.

Men and their out-group bias is a huge obstacle to combating misandry.

No, if you stay sitting, they can't mesure your height

Felarhin · 2023-11-03T22:32:30+00:00

I feel like we're starting to see such high standards because men and women just plain don't like each other that much anymore.

You can lose weight, but generally you cannot gain height except with those expensive and very painful, high-risk operations.

Men are judged by what they cannot change, and women by what they could change and do not want to.

The whole short thing is stupid. I read a study once that men tend to work together better when organized by height. I wouldn't put it past one of these groups of assholes to have started it as a social engineering campaign. I've noticed a lot of the women posting about it look like influencers. Super made up and attractive. It's not normal woman making these derogatory posts.

The more people fight this the more attention we bring to it. It is better to ignore it. Do not even acknowledge a woman who says this just change the topic.

Someone once asked me if I was intimidated by tall women? I said no, I look up to them. 😁

WeepingWillow_Lotus · 2023-11-06T07:04:35+00:00

There is no such thing as fatphobic. They just made that up as they do with everything. If you wish to not date a fat woman then so be it. Nothing wrong with it. As someone who is overweight I understand and it does not offend me.

LittleHamNerd · 2023-11-04T04:06:34+00:00

And short men are the nicest too. Women only like shitty dudes.

ehWoc · 2023-11-04T17:44:51+00:00

Not really, because you can't do anything about being short while you can do something about being fat.

Disliking someone for a physical trait that they can do nothing about and that says literally nothing about their personality is much worse than disliking someone for not living up to a certain lifestyle standard, which is in their free will, or not having a certain mindset, which is totally understandable when picking a life partner.

Sirens_go_wee_woo · 2023-11-03T21:26:30+00:00

My wife is a inch and a half taller than me and outweighs me by about 30 pounds. Never cared much about a little more weight but I like a thick woman whether it’s muscle and tone or a mom pouch. 🤣🤣🤣

GreeceZeus · 2023-11-03T22:55:21+00:00

Gosh, do we really just want to be the male version of feminists? Just like we say that it isn't "discrimination" or whatever if we don't want to date fat women, we can't just start crying "discrimination" when women express preferences. And yes, I'm a short guy - but I hate that we try to just imitate every stupid idea that feminists have had with our agenda. We should focus on real injustices, the mental health crisis that's going on, and stuff like that... not the "I'm not successful in the dating market and that's discrimination because women say the same" path...

Acrobatic_Sport_7664 · 2023-11-03T23:12:07+00:00

Can we call it diminuphobic?

Sendmeloveletters · 2023-11-04T17:47:35+00:00

They ain’t afraid of short dudes they just ain’t into it

LowAd3406 · 2023-11-03T20:11:07+00:00

I feel like the short guy is talked about way more here than it is IRL.

jokerfriend6 · 2023-11-03T20:03:12+00:00

Most of time it is the full package that someone has to offer. Being short is okay for a lot of women if the man has other qualities. Same thing for men looking for women. When I was younger I had different requirements than I would now.

Dangerous_Guitar7999 · 2023-11-04T00:50:26+00:00

Women don’t inherently dislike short guys. The first womanizer I came to know was a 5’3 guy bagging women that were almost 6’. It’s all in how you carry yourself.

RubMobile2126 · 2023-11-03T21:39:54+00:00

I think a better thing to do is say that they only have a height requirement so they can exclude transmen. Most transmen are well under 6 feet tall which seems to be the standard for most women these days.

Sad_Inevitable7495 · 2023-11-04T09:17:43+00:00

They are thought, that is not the question. Spreading awareness, naking a campaing against shortphobia, sound hilarious.

Black-Patrick · 2023-11-04T22:25:28+00:00

So don’t ‘rubber-glue’ feminist bullshit by adapting it.
