How can you stand up for yourself without being a d*** about it?
I want to hear your guys/gals thoughts on this. I have said stuff in the past but I end up coming off as a tool which I don't want to be but at the same time letting this stuff slide is not wise either. It is like just lying down and taking abuse we don't deserve.
This happened to me awhile ago but I feel I need to get it off my chest. After the great responses I got about the former cop who refused to meet me after she found out right before we met that I was shorter/smaller than her, I feel that you guys can relate to this experience.
I was taking this technical course in university and there was this middle aged woman in it. She said she had a boyfriend so I knew she was off limits--she was even living with him. There was this huge guy in my class, 6'2 caribbean guy who dated professional models. I saw her flirting with him a few times.
After a few months the course was over and we all met in a bar. Someone in the bar mentioned that he had the woman's number in his phone--he had it so he could organize the get together. I asked her if I could have her phone number. She asked me why. I said so we could get together. Bad move. I think she thought I meant that she and I could hook up. Later on in the evening she told me I was too short and far for her and I still rented and did not own my own property. I was shocked. I tried telling her nicely that it was a misunderstanding and that I was not interested in her. She expressed interest in having sex with the caribbean guy--he did not arrive yet. I felt this was an odd thing to say out loud to a group of people. Later on when we went to a club, the caribbean guy asked the woman why was height so important to women. She then grabbed me and said she felt like a mother holding a small guy. I was embarrassed. I wish I had told her to screw off.
So I went into a clothing store earlier, looking for a gift for a friend. Well the dude at the register kept making faces at me when I was looking at these shirts. I picked a few out and wanted to get the heck out of there. After checking out I overheard him tell the woman working with him in his gay girly balls up his ass voice "those shirts are going to be dresses on that tiny man" and he giggled. What the hell gives him the right to assume crap like this? Ugggg I am so sick of these uppity sexually confused she-men around here that have to put others down because their own father wanted nothing to do with them.
Which has been worse for you? I think online bullying has grown over the last 10 years and may be worse in some cases because of social networking. Thoughts?
I wont say which store I was in, but I felt like everyone was laughing at me. I went in to buy shoes and I had to ask someone to get a few pairs down. There were like say 4 or so teens working there and they kept giggling. As I was checking out I heard one of them crack a smurf joke because my shirt was that same blue color. I was tempted to say something but bit my tongue. Should I call the store and report it? I am tempted. I am still pissed. I almost want to return to shoes and tell the whole store to go stick it.
So I was at the mall waiting outside for my buddy. I was having a smoke and heard this younger guy yelling at his girlfriend. they have to be between 17 and 20. Anyways, what really made me listen was when the girl said "well if you were as tall as your brother we wouldn't have that problem now would we!?" and a group of teens near by started ohh'ing and laughing. Not sure what the fight was over but to yell that in public is not only demeaning but childish. Ever witness a fight end in heightism remarks?
Oh you're short Superman? You can put me down now.
A lot of input on this one eh? I saw this as a comment on one of the article here, where someone screenshotted the twitter responses to this pic. Cringeworthy would you agree? I think if this were superman holding up a fatty and then decided to drop her out of the air after saying "Oh wow, you're a size 5+, I should put you down now", there would be so much crying from the SJW crowd, but this, this is supposed to be "funny".
