Society expects men to be tall, handsome, powerful and rich. And when men dont meet societals expectation they are severely punished, through marginalization. The problem that short men have is that people see them failing to meet the expectations of what a man is suppose to be. Tallness in our society is associated with strength, leadership,respect and class. This has been conditioned to us in the entertainment industry and in business. Studies have shown that most of ceos are over 6 feet tall. Even though a short man has the capability to be strong, intelligent, and display leadership qualities. Because of constant condition from society..they do not associate short people with strength but weakness. As a result short men are ostracized. They experience both open forms of bullying and silent forms of bullying. it is no surprise by now that vast amount of women who reject short men because of their height. But instead of them being cavalier... short men experience name calling.. and verbal abuse that is socially accepted. This leave short men to be frustrated. They want to be respected, and have equal opportunity but society has prejudice against them..due to something that is beyond their control. But instead of short men organizing themselves and demanding to be treated with respect, they often internalize heightism. alot of short men develop inferiority complexes. And are are sub conscious about their height. Some short men lash out violently. They take out the oppression they suffer unto to short women. Because they experience so much discrimination,, they want to feel a sense of power. And often times that agression is towards short women or women in general.

Is this actually a serious post? You believe that short men have inferiority complexes and are prone to violence, and you're constantly on the attack about this phantom issue where short men are ganging-up on short women, and the obvious implication is that it's only short men who do this. You also still have yet to frame tall men in any negative light, which is extremely suspect considering that you have no reservations when it comes to criticizing short men. With that being said, do you think heightism just appeared out of nowhere? Do you understand that tall men are the culprits? On top of that, in your intro post, you said you wanted to talk about "what it's like to be a woman" in this forum, and I warned you about doing so. Now, you're using the r/short tactic of using feminism to try to divide the group. There is absolutely no place for this type of post on this forum. Consider this a formal warning for violating a combination of Rules 2 and 4, especially considering your constant unproductive "what about short wimminz" posts that you've derailed other threads with. I personally feel like you need to be banned, but this group acts as a collective and since none of the short men on this forum have an opinion based on any of this(judging by their silence) I'm taking that as a sign that they're ok with your posts.
Edited To Add:
You also gave a borderline confidence speech in your "How I didn't internalize heightism" thread and Confidence Speeches are strictly forbidden. If the thread itself wasn't similar to a confidence speech, your reply to SFTS in that thread most-certainly was.

I have the receipts to prove it. While I was on reddit I got a lot of hatred comments from short men in my inbox and in the comment section. Everything from death threats to what I might look like. Im sorry that you want to deny the plight for short women. But its real. ANyways Like i said i screen shot all the comments I got from r/short/ And to my surprise r/tall the men on there never inboxed me with death threats and extreme violence just on r/short and other reddits that are short related. Not only that I wasnt the only one. Lots of women on r/short said the same thing. As a person who has been an activist for 5 years now. The best way to keep a group of people down is to deny a problem exist. Thats what alot of racist people did. They kept denying racism existed its a way to hold unto power and keep people in certain social status. And thats what a lot of short men do. Which is understandle why some short men decide to do that. They are not interested in sharing power with short women. They are more interested in helping themselves and fellow short men out.

And also thats why a lot of tall people and average height people do. They deny the existence of heightism because they want to keep the power. Its done to discourage the more oppress person and to get them to stop. And to keep denying their plight. But it NEVER works. Because when a group of people are strong and keep on saying the same thing society slowly believes that. Anyways i fight on behalf of short men and short women who want to join forces and fight heightism together. Both face substanial amount of prejudice towards them.

im really tired of you always being so negative towards me and putting my ideas down. Im here to fight for short men and short women. Im really sorry that you feel that short mens struggle are more important than short womens. Im not interested in playing ooppression olympics with you. But just to let you know your attempt to minimize what im saying will never work. i dont know where you get the mental energy to put people down. Its too much work for me to want to put others down..and not worth it. But just to let you know. Its better to unite with short men and short women because there are strenghts in numbers. Only caring about the plight of short men is a disservice to short men in the long run.

Well, you're also going to have to show us the receipts proving that it was short men who sent those messages. As you know, the mods of that sub have let it become overwhelmed by trolls and other undesirables whose sole purpose is to make short men look bad. Something I noticed in your criticisms of short men is you seem to derive most(if not all) of your negative sentiments toward short men from stuff you claim you have experienced on r/short, not from the real world, thus, you're extrapolating the few negative experiences you allegedly have had there to represent all short men, which is the same-old same-old from people who have a distaste for short men. The person who kicked you out of r/short was a heightism-denying doofus who has a fake pseudo-badass persona, and is not respected one iota by anyone who addresses heightism with any level of seriousness, so don't act like fools such as that guy represent all of us. If you actually did face the issues you speak of on Reddit, those issues are stemming from Reddit's culture of immaturity and trolling, not because short men are the evil creatures that you seem to think they are. Also, your theory that short men "don't want to share their power with short women" is downright hilarious. Short men have absolutely no power whatsoever. We can't even keep an anonymous message board going, so we damn sure don't have any collective power. Women(even short women) have a multitude of avenues to have their grievances addressed and short men are completely shut-out from having any collective voice, consideration, and ways to have their concerns heard as a group. Your theories have absolutely no basis in reality and seem to all derive from convenient assumptions you have created from internet forums and seem to be the driving force behind your pet cause of crying foul that every discussion is not about women and how the evil short men who have these discussions should be punished. |
