You can read more about the new statue on the NYC government web page here.
This has been talked about at length for quite some time. In 1986, this very question was asked in the following journal article (screenshot above). You can find the entire September 1986 Challenge Journal article by Dennis D. Miller here.
There is an interlink between the two for sure, but one would be remiss to suggest that heightism is sexism. It's not. In the journal above, the author challenges readers by asserting that if it were sexism, then heightism should put shorter women at an even bigger disadvantage with no favoritism. This even then (almost forty years ago) was determined to not be the case.
Fascinating study on a town where the average height for men is within the range of 5' to 5'6 and women 4'8 to 5'2.
You can find the Newsweek article here.
