Now throw your hands up in the air.

And wave them around like you just don't care.

If you really don't care, why bother throwing your hands up in the first place?

I'd just like to comment on a news story without some buffoon trying to prove his mental worth to strangers on an online forum.

There's a good chance that he minds his p's and q's in real life and is afraid to speak up for himself.

Those are usually the types who need the soapbox the most.

When women who are over the age of 30 make fun of your for being a "manlet" yet you just stop and think.. that they look like "female manlets"..

Seriously why isn't the term "female manlet" used as a combat? I seem to be one of the very few short men who actually take the time to figure out how to make heightism go away, or at least curb.

Heightism will go away once men stop desiring younger fitter women. So yeah its never going away I'd say what men and women are attracted to are all superficial in nature, and unfortunately thats the way it is and always will be.

The same speech needs to be given to feminists..

We are never going to overlook your fat and age if you're not going to overlook our height.

They need to hear it more than we. They're the ones with all these hypocritical body campaigns, saying we men need to be more "open" about what we like, yet not giving the same message to women regarding being more open about what they like.

Although I'm really talking about the way we treat short men.

So many women are entitled and think they can say whatever they want about us. Yet if we make roughly equivalent insults that should largely discourage them.

"Female manlet" sounds like a reasonable start. Yet from all the short guy communities, I've never heard that term be brought up. A lot of them are smart enough to realize that feminism will never be our friend (in fact they will always be incredibly hypocritical to us) but many of them do not also realize that giving them the same conduct will also lessen heightist bigotry.

I just can't see our current world ever being capable of men overlooking fat and age, and women overlooking height. Yes there are some men who don't care if a woman is old and fat, and some women who don't care if a man is short. But I don't see any way this will ever go away. We can bring awareness to this subject but its just apart of who we are.

I'm not arguing for people to change what they're attracted too.

I'm just sick of feminists thinking it's fine for them to openly mock my height yet I can't mock any of their physical faults.

I'm also disappointed in many of the men letting this behavior just continue. The best remedy is to respond with equivalent insults.

I could've swore I saw a study or article of short people not being negatively effected as people generally think. But I couldn't find it. Are you aware of any studies or articles on short people not really being as negatively effected by their height as most think?

The only study I can think of is the one where men under 5 foot 5 inches start really having a negative dating and financial life.

Which makes sense, that's the height where you start being right at the average or even below the average height of women.

I decided to take a look at the average height of men and women and found the average weight of women to be absurd. Said the average women is 5'4 but whats alarming is shes also 166 pounds. Which is borderline obese. So it seems men are screwed since odds are any woman they meet is overweight or obese, where as given women don't care about weight as much the average guy they meet will be taller than them so it seems like romantic relationships are rigged for women from the start. Women will have an easier time finding a guy taller than them than men will of finding a woman who is slim.

And a lot of men are going MGTOW..

No surprise really..

Women are getting more and more open about being picky, yet they are also getting fatter and fatter.

166 pounds is obscene.
