I just had to complete Anti-Discrimination training for my job, and in one module, it was talking about "disparate impact" discrimination where a certain requirement has a greater impact on one group than another. The example the video used was how having a height requirement for a job would have a greater impact on women than men because women tend to be shorter than men. While that statement is absolutely true, there was of course no mention about height discrimination affecting men, even though it affects us much more so than it will ever affect women. The fact that heightism against men wasn't mentioned isn't surprising though because we're not a protected class and everyone lives with the misguided belief that we are dripping with privilege in every scenario. Anyway, it just goes to show that employers are taking steps to ensure that height discrimination does not affect women, and are either totally oblivious or just flat-out don't care that it affects men in a very profound way.

Right, because apparently getting paid less, being seen as inferior, being short and male therefore our issues are twice as less important than average and tall men, and higher suicide rates and not important /s. Seriously, fuck society. Where do these bufoons even come up with the idea that we're overprivileged? How can they not see that men , especially short, are most certainly underprivileged. Where do they get this insane idea?

Society does an impressive job dodging around what short men have to deal with, I'll give 'em that. They basically admitted height prejudice is real, but did so in a way where the spotlight is focused on women. Very good.
