I haven't seen the diagrams so I'm not sure what they even are but 'hip dips' in women are currently being spoken about on social media by various posters in a way that deliberately mirrors female discourse around male height. And while this obviously includes the nasty, overt and intentional heightshaming, it also extends to how women who don't overtly or intentionally heightshame men talk about the issue and how they believe men should react to or feel about it. And that is where things get interesting.

Now, the hip dips trollers, professing solidarity against hiplet shaming, will say "uplifting" things the crux of which is that girls with hip hips are "hiplet queens" that shouldn't let it bother them, and that showing insecurity about it is a them problem, that they should compensate for it with their personality, that they might be hiplets but they can be spiritually hourglass figure. Obvious parallels to common female talking points about the heightshaming of guys.

Reactions from women to these talking points - which, again, absolutely mirror their own directed at guys in the heightshaming context - are not only funny in how they fail to detect the irony, but also very telling about just how entrenched their double standards are when it comes to social justice for men vs women.

You see, these reactions contain significant alarm at how the hip dips trollers' "hiplet-positivity" seemingly neglects treating hiplet-shaming as an issue that requires a social justice response. As in, addressing the prejudice.

Now let's turn to female discourse on heightshaming men. Once again, just to remind, we're obviously not talking about the heightshamers themselves, but the women who don't do that and are discussing this phenomenon with guys and giving them "advice" on how to deal with. These women are basically the ones that show up when they see men discussing this topic and have that air of "I'm trying to help" condescension, even if they are not intentionally putting it on. Let's look at their common talking points which revolve more or less around this:

"Stop complaining about it, you're being insecure/it makes you look insecure" i.e., identifies the guy feeling insecure about being shamed for aspects of his being outside his control as the problem - not the shaming itself - and advocate a 'solution' (stop complaining) for that problem. Completely and utterly precluded is the idea that heightshaming should be not only silenced, but addressed at any broader level whatsoever. No social justice for you + you are still the problem.

This is basically the crux of the common talking points from women on this matter and you can see the stark contrast between it versus how they're reacting to the 'hip dips' stuff right now. And how they gladly endorsed "body positivity" for overweight women as a social justice imperative in the past.
