Quote from: Bander72 on August 23, 2017, 02:08:44 AMYes women have disadvantages but it is not EQUAL to the challenges short men have. So the short fenimist women if you were to say your challenges were equal to a 5" 2 short man in the streets then they would laugh at you and wonder what is wrong with you.

but since we're talking about something as subjective as pain (or whatever term you would like to use to describe the emotional reprecussion of stigma on short people), then it's relative right? I mean, I personally agree that short men have more challenges but it's like......im not sure how to put it in words, so ill use as an example:
Alex breaks his leg, the doctor asks him "on a scale of 1 to 10 how much pain do you feel?" and he says 5
Julie twists her ankle and the doctor asks her the same question, she says 10

Even though Alex obviously has a more serious injury, Julie is "more" pain.

We can't measure how much a social stigma affects as indivudal relative to another because its so subjective. Thus, I think Annalisa could have experienced as much pain as the other males on this site, not neccessarily because society been as equally mean to her as to short men, but more because, irrelevant of how much stigma she did face, it affected her emotional state more; so she felt the pain as much.

I'm not really good at typing thoughts coherently, so forgive me if my reply seems messy. Also, sorry to annalisa so speaking on your behalf, I don't know what you've been through emotionally.

Overall though, thanks for your input!

P.S I would kill to be 5'2 T_T ahhh but i dream

That has more to do with her having more emotional issues but she wants to argue that in general, it is equal which is not. Of course, she has more insecurities and pain than some short men that don't care about their height.

You're absolutely clueless. This isn't like getting a new haircut or dress. Jesus Christ. Run away and forget that you ever heard of this surgery.

I am a short black woman and I can completely relate to what Annalisa says. I have face so much stigma for being black ANd short that I feel that CLL is my only option. She is right about when people dont take us seriously. I have stoof up against my bullies made ultimatum and its like they didnt take it into consderation. The fact is short height is seen as inferior. No matter how talented, nice,, or intelligent a person is..the short height is what they see..and its wat they judge. Im really tired of short men complaining about how they cant get a girlfriend because they are short. So what? Who cares. Its not as bad when everyone you meet..automatically thinks you are inferior and you have to prove them right and bascially be super assertive in order to be respected.

Having children with a short person is not a gurantee that a persons offspring will be short. Height is determine by genetics yes but its also heavily influence by nutrtion..and how a person takes care of themselves. If a person takes really good care of themselves growing up chances are they wont be short. But being short ..if its not a little person is not adeath sentence. The reason why shortness is so hard is because its socially unacceptable to be short. And that height prejudice is widely accepted.

Why are you tired of short men complaining they cant have a girlfriend because they are short, isnt that a legit complaint??? Dont you even as a short woman discriminate against short men when it comes to dating???

I just think its not a good enough reason to do cosmetic limb lengthening because you can not get a girlfrfiend or boyfriend. CLL is a very serious operation and no one is worth that much of a sacrifice. I personally don't date at all. ANd I klnow that my height is a barrier when it comes to relationship. I know that if I don't do cosmetic limb lengthening surgery I will probably never find true love and have children. But to me its not the most important thing in the world. I am going to do CLL for how people mistreat me on a regular basis. And to move up the corporate ladder.

Even stupider reason. Height is more likely to magic you up a girlfriend (1% chance) than it is to magic up a promotion (0.1%)
