The point might be that heightism is a social problem and not biological, and that getting taller does not mask or remove that prejudice, only enhances it. What I agree with though is that Arnold is fighting a losing battle. Heightism will never change. That's probably why he stopped blogging. I remember his work on Tumblr.
It may never go away, but I think it can change. Education is key. Heightism is one of those prejudices that go under the radar. Everyone "knows" they are doing it on some level but it is never challenged. I believe that nothing will change unless short men start challenging it at every instance.
According to the Daily News, comedian Tiffany Haddish said that "pal" Kevin Hart (5'2) was the exception to the rule in sexual harrassment because he encouraged her when she was homeless.
All I read into this is as follows:
Attractive Men = Not sexual harrassment
Average Looking/Unattractive Men = Creeps, sexual harrassment
Short Men = Eunich = Not sexual harassment = no threat
What are your thoughts?
