Re: How does one respond to the accusation of having a "Napoleon Complex"? Thread Starter

Short men are told that we have a chip on our shoulder, that we're angry at the world and always have "something to prove".

I am an ambitious man and it bothers me when others attribute my ambition to my height. If I accomplished something in the workplace, or have a goal or plan, I am labeled as having a "complex".

No one in popular culture calls people out on this. In all seriousness, if any man had a "complex", wouldn't it be because of how he is treated, and not "because" of his height? When it's used towards me, it reeks of "accept the fact that you are inferior guy and keep quiet".

How can we as modern short men come up with an effective retort that will shame people who use this phrase? I am open to any suggestions. As this is a forum for short men, this would be the place to come up with something remarkable.

Re: "He was a great man but diminutive" Thread Starter

Why is that whenever I read articles in print and online or hear people talk about shorter people in person, they always undercut a man's accomplishments by pointing out his lack of stature?

It's "better" to be tall because of heightism. Just like it's "clearly better" to be white because of Racism (according to Louie CK).

Biologically speaking, shorter people consume less resources and live longer, so would be better overall for society. Narcissism is why height is coveted so much just like bigger breasts have no real value.

Had to uproot this. Without social constructs, things like height and skin color would not matter.

Re: Will the human growth hormone ever work for height?

If you mean in the future, well anything is possible. I'm pretty sure 50 years ago no one thought a hand or face transplant would be possible.

Problem is funding. There is definitely a market for it, but those who want it aren't speaking up and lobbying for it. And there are plenty of doctors who are making money off of other endeavors.

We will just have to wait and see.
