I think a "glass ceiling" exists for just about everyone who doesn't fit society's ideal, even for groups who historically weren't "marginalized" in the most widely accepted view of what being "marginalized" means.

So (unattractive) women, blacks (particularly black women), short men, poor people, etc all have to deal with this extra hard work to attain what the idolized groups can get with far less effort. 

That their life as a short man, is basically fear? 

It is for my case.

(Didn't know where else to post this).

Why do some men who are shorter feel the need to work out all the time? My boyfriend has always been into fitness but he suddenly has become so wrapped up in his fitness and building muscle that we hardly see each other because he would rather be at the gym! When I brought it up he got pissed and said something about me being too out of shape. So because I was hurt I said "You only do this to yourself because you feel you need more muscle to compensate for your height!". After the word height left my lips and I knew it was not going to end well. We got into a huge fight. He left and here I am venting. He basically said I was right in so many words. Why do shorter men do this to themselves? If you enjoy it, go for it but don't use it as a crutch. Specially when you ALREADY have a woman who loves you for you.

So I noticed that my hair is starting to thin and I feel like it is really getting me down lately. I never gave it much thought before so I don't know what changed. It took me a whole to accept my height but now this? Uggg Anything I can do to stop it?

Also, take the poll. 

They will talk all day about women and men are equal, but then will turn around and say how they "prefer" (require) that their men be tall, make as much or more money and be physically stronger (than them and other men). After reading that Jezebel article, I made this meme, because it is accurate. 

While we're at it, let's do a poll. Do you think Feminists truly care about erasing gender norms?

I put this in studies because I feel it is better suited here than dating. So what is "mommy complex"? A few of us were talking over the weekend about these women who will date short men, shorter than themselves, and want to treat them like their child. Almost like you look up to me view deal. It is a strange thing to think about but these women are out there. Have you ever met one? I work with one and it is straight creeper. Her current boyfriend loves it though.

I am going shopping... Which I normally dread but I need new fall/winter gear. So I am looking to get some new boots, dress shoes, like 5 or so shirts, a jacket, and a few pairs of jeans. Anywhere I can get this all in one place and not have to worry about things being super long or baggy on me?
