I have this woman at work who never seems to miss an opportunity to make fun of my height. Whether it's calling me a hobbit, putting things high in the air and asking me to reach it, asking me to stand next to taller people or reminding me that no woman would want a man who isn't even real.
At our holiday party this year, she asked me why I hadn't come dressed as an elf and told me to not bother asking for a raise because I wouldn't be able to reach it. This was in front of all of the other employees.
I cannot understand why for the life of me this kind of behavior is tolerated. If I was to even suggest that she were slightly overweight I would probably receive some kind of corrective action (I've seen this happen before).
Our HR department is full of women and I don't think they will take my complaints seriously. Do you have any advice on how I should approach this?
I hate to say this, but I don't think you can do anything about it. Most of the heightism, in fact, comes from women. If the job doesn't take you seriously, then they don't deserve you.
So I need help... I really like this girl in my university... She's nice and respectful to me and all, but I'm getting a sense that she's just being nice to me (as always). I normally don't pursue woman for obvious reasons, but I want to know how to tell if a woman likes you, especially if you're a shorter guy.
Greetings everyone,
Because we are in a time with 'social justice', where people are very insecure with their 'social identities' and are trying to change the status quo as well as promoting liberal thought, the curious thoughts came to me: Is heightism going to be addressed now? and If so, would it lead to negative ramifications?
Here are my thoughts on these: I remain indifferent yet thoughtful. Though it's nice that this would be addressed, I think it would be fair not to do anything about it. Why? Because bringing attention to this matter would proliferate the negativity towards the shorter man. We don't need more negativity towards us. Fortunately, from my experiences, I think that heightism towards us is quite rare in most public spheres. However, if the shorter man is in the dating sphere, then apparently, he will experience heightism. All I say is that 'ghosting' and leaving this issue in the dark remains stable in a neutral way, which may be positive.
Let me know what you think.
