Now imagine if this were about any other immutable characteristic or weight. How do you think the internet would react?

The guy pictured here is Dynzell Sigers, a seemingly nice guy. Most of you know him by now.

What makes him stand out is how open he was about his successful leg lengthening procedure.

A former short king, he now stands at 6ft even. Quite striking when you consider his starting height was 5'5.

You'd have to ask, what would make a man go this far? I'm not here to talk bad about the man.

He says he was confident and comfortable with himself, but he knew what many of us know or take too long to figure out.

If you look at the comments under his video where he always commits to full transparency, you will see comments like, "He's insecure", "why wouldn't he accept himself" and "all of this for what?".

The people who say these things always forget to address, "where does that insecurity come from?". To be clear, Dynzell says he wasn't insecure and I believe him.

There are so many stigmas that people acknowledge today, Depression, body dysmorphia, gender identity, weight, but very few acknowledge heightism, even those who claim to be the most progressive. Shaming men isn't considered forbidden, but actually encouraged.

Kudos to Dynzell for concluding that he didn't want to fight this fight, he wanted to rid himself of the stigma once and for all and just live a normal life. 

Now, I personally wouldn't do leg lengthening, but I get it. I get it. 

They're both slamming shorter women in this instance, but regardless, it's a slap in the face to the many police officers, fire fighters, emergency medical technicians and other first responders who are on the shorter side male or female.

It's amazing how there were four secret service agents in the photo and none of them were able to stop those bullets. Aren't women with their political leanings typically pro-law enforcement? Or is it only when those officials are tall? This was disgusting.

You can find the Media-Ite article here.

The heightism that short man face doesn't usually extend to short woman. I have never seen someone body shame a woman for being short. Short woman tend to be preferred  socially/romantically. Lastly in most movies/tv shows/romantic books the woman is always depicted as petite never tall

While tall woman share some privileges that tall men have such as being perceived as competent/getting more respect, there tends to be body-shaming/hatred that gets targeted at tall woman (short men have it worse).

Woman that are tall are often made to believe they aren't ''real woman'' and must be transgenders/cross-dressers since womanhood is defined by being small. While woman have a stronger preference for height men aren't innocent, men tend to feel emasculated/feel like their is manhood is taken away if the woman is taller than him. That's why you have tall woman that avoid high heels and hunch to protect their boyfriends egos.

Conclusion: The hatred of short man doesn't stem from them being short but the hatred of short men stems from them being perceived as feminine similar to tall woman being perceived as masculine (sexism: tall=masculine, short=feminine), (short men have it harder since femininity is men is despised more).

Vietnam says you need to be tall enough to study in school. Can you image being a genius in STEM, but not being "tall enough" to share that talent with your country?

Yes, she said it. According to her, men under 5'7 shouldn't have human rights.

I am very ardent against being short and I discovered having Ebola or Smallpox is better than being short after all of my researches about short men's mental healths and my own feelings about it.

If there were 2 options for me:
1.Being around only 150cm-160 with healthy body.

2.Being around 188cm-190cm with Ebola/Smallpox.

I will never hesitate to choose the second one.

Spending a couple grand to insult short guys. I bet the guy who asked for that is tall.
