Re: Reddit Post: "As A Plus-Sized Woman, What's Irritates You In Dating?"

would have to completely disagree that being an overweight women is in any way similar to being a short man. this analogy fails on so many levels. a more apt comparison might be the opposite end of the spectrum for women (i.e. those who are 6'+ or taller) but even this is not really the same as tall women are very often heightist themselves (as are the vast majority of short women) and many short men would have no problem dating them. if they are also attractive physically, not many men would turn down a women based solely on her height. once again, this is not the case when it comes to shorter men.

Re: Short Men, Overweight Women Face Lower Pay Thread Starter

"If you were going to combat heightism, what route would you take or what do you think society and short men should do?"

heightism is a form of prejudice just as are racism, sexism and speciesism. it is only by treating others as we oursleves wish to be treated that these forms of hatred can be combated. the problem lies in seeing the perceived differences in others as an excuse to discriminate against them. this is especially true in the case of speciesism against non-human animals whom the vast majority of humans exploit and murder upon a daily basis. as bad as it is to be a short male in this society, at least no one is torturing and murdering me in order to consume my flesh.

That article says the study they conducted was inconclusive. It also said there are counter-examples, and that studies also show shorter men live longer on average.

Society will run with whatever fits their narrative.

agreed-we have seen this time and time again throughout human history. taller people considered more valuable than shorter people, white people considered more important than black people, men considered more important than women, the suffering and death of human animals considered more important than the suffering and death of non-human animals. like heightism, racism, sexism and speciesism are biases and prejudices which attribute greater value to certain classes in order to exploit and oppress others. the very sad and disturbing part is than most people condemn some forms of discrimination while willingly and happily supporting others. i am reminded of a quote by Paul Farmer:

“The idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world.”
