Is feminism making heightism worse?

Me and a few friends were talking about this and I know the height crap has been around for sometime but it seems to have gotten a lot worse since the big feminism movement. Maybe it is just be but I feel like these types of women are so power hungry that they view men as objects and most want one that not only good looking and tall, but makes good money. They claim to be about empowering women but they preach on other women being free and careless with their bodies, "having sex like men" as they say, and being in power in every relationship they are in.

It's always been rough being a short guy

If you think heightism is a recent phenomena, so some current "social justice movement", or just became a "thing" recently, then you're sadly mistaken. As we try to bring attention to it now and people are more vocal than ever about it, it's as old as time and something that every generation of short fellas have to deal with.

Take a look at some of these little ditties from the past:

People Magazine article from 1980

Time Magazine article from 1971

Jeffersons Season 6 Episode 2 - A Short Story

Don't kid yourselves, heightism has been around forever.

Petition to take down DirecTV's body shaming commercial

You all read my thread on the DirecTV petite randy moss and thankfully sgc did an article on it. Our fellow short men on r/short created a petition on Change.org and we need you all to sign it! This is a pivotal moment to let advertisers know that height shaming is no different than the fat shaming that they stay away from in advertising in the modern era. We need 100 signatures. At this point, there are only 24. 

Here is the link:

Stop DirecTV's Offensive "Petite Randy Moss" ad.

"Help! My child is taller than me"

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2015/aug/08/help-my-child-is-taller-than-me

 

I am not sure how I feel about this article. It almost makes a joke of heightism.

"Alexis is three inches taller than me so far – she overtook me suddenly last year and I couldn’t be more delighted. It’s quite funny at times, trying to be in “serious mum mode” when you’re looking up. Other times, it’s useful. Alexis can open the security lock on the back door and I can’t – but she can also reach the sweetie jar in the kitchen and I can’t, which is not good, is it?”"

Random thoughts with God and height

So I am not big into the bible or anything but God/Jesus has taught us that we too should look unto someone's heart not their physical appearance when looking at strength and such. I feel like this is one of the best lessons in that book because it shows us that the way we appear on the outside should not matter as much as it does in this world.

How far does heightism go back?

Well I really can't say but I would imagine it has gotten worse then ever over the last 50 or so years. The jokes, the laughs, the sterotyping ect.

How much truth is in this statement?

I am curious on all your thoughts here...

"Fat girls don't like feeling unattractive. Short guys don't like feeling unattractive. No one likes to feel unattractive. But at the end of the day, the majority of guys aren't attracted to fat girls just as much as the majority of girls aren't attracted to short guys. It's not shallow. It's natural. People can't help it."

Do fat women suffer as much as us short men?

I read this story about this woman who is on the larger side dating a man in another country... well just read it for yourself http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/real-life/american-beauty-blogger-suffers-internet-2121606

And well, people said mean things about her and to her on her channel because her now husband is skinny while she is not. I feel like this is as comparable to a short man dating a taller woman and being shammed for it. Thoughts?

Why do short men get told to move to other countries?

I have been told this before, sadly. And it sucks. And it hurts. But you have to figure these are the women most men secretly wish went to another country lol

A time when height didn't matter?

Do you think that there was ever a time when height didn't matter? I mean things seem to be more about height/weight then they ever were in history. What do you think?
