Society expects men to be tall, handsome, powerful and rich. And when men dont meet societals expectation they are severely punished, through marginalization. The problem that short men have is that people see them failing to meet the expectations of what a man is suppose to be. Tallness in our society is associated with strength, leadership,respect and class. This has been conditioned to us in the entertainment industry and in business. Studies have shown that most of ceos are over 6 feet tall. Even though a short man has the capability to be strong, intelligent, and display leadership qualities. Because of constant condition from society..they do not associate short people with strength but weakness. As a result short men are ostracized. They experience both open forms of bullying and silent forms of bullying. it is no surprise by now that vast amount of women who reject short men because of their height. But instead of them being cavalier... short men experience name calling.. and verbal abuse that is socially accepted. This leave short men to be frustrated. They want to be respected, and have equal opportunity but society has prejudice against them..due to something that is beyond their control. But instead of short men organizing themselves and demanding to be treated with respect, they often internalize heightism. alot of short men develop inferiority complexes. And are are sub conscious about their height. Some short men lash out violently. They take out the oppression they suffer unto to short women. Because they experience so much discrimination,, they want to feel a sense of power. And often times that agression is towards short women or women in general.
