Please be more honest, write the pros/cons on both sides and list things that actually only affect one or the other. Proper dichotomies pl0x.

How is this dishonest. It is well documented that being short is a social disadvantage. And being tall is a social advantage.

Edit Post

I'm just saying you need to list the pros and cons for both sides if you don't do that its pretty dishonest.

Why dont you tell me does the benefits of being short in this world..outweights the benefits of being tall in this world?

All of this is assuming you aren't 2-3 deviations below or above the norm and male
(For short people)
Pros -
Its easier for shorter people to fill out their frames if they're lifting
Save money on clothing
Look younger(Its negative now, but when you're 30-40+ it might be worth)
Cons -
Less respect
Struggle to reach things
Often underestimated
(For tall people)
Pros -
More respect
Better power lifter
Easier to reach things
Cons
Harder to find clothes
Harder to fill in frame if lifting
Easier to hit head on things
I only did 3 for each because I'm pretty lazy, and I didn't wanna be redundant with my points.

I wasnt trying to do pros and cons on both sides. It was to say how shortness is seen as something negative. And your list just proves that. Personally I dont have a problem with being short but its a social stigma being short. So thats why im doing CLL because i hate having to deal with daily discrimination.

Sorry, let me rephrase this, half the stuff I've listed isn't that big of a deal for women or they already deal with regardless(EG. less respect/lifting stuff/already struggle to reach things because average height for women in the US is 5'4), my bad. How tall are you?

Edit Post

Im a short woman and heightism is the reason why I am risking my life to do CLL. My height has always been a barrier to my success. I have a hard time keeping jobs. I would often do extremely well over my taller counter parts but im always the first person to get fired or laid off. I have been fired over eight times and laid off three times. Whenver I deal with professionals whther it be a social worker, a doctor..an employer they dont treat me with the same respect. I usually have to advocate really hard to be respect and not be screwed over and usually I am screwed over. I have tried to keep housing etc. Even though i paid my bills on times etc. It still wasnt good enough for landlords. I have only one boyfriend. And after awhile i would get emotionally abuse and bullied by his friends. My short stature is the reason why people have continuously disrespected me,, disregard me. And i hate when short men say that short women have it eaiser. We do not. I think the only way short women have it eaiser is in online dating. But all other aspect I have it pretty hard.

Im also a minrotiy ANd im short. SO yes the oppression I suffer is twice. Because from my race I am seen as inferior. Women are also seen as inferior. And short people are seen as inferior. I would rather have short people unite to fight height prejudice. But it doesnt seem to be the case.
