I just stumbled across this thread on Twitter and this guy did some great work by breaking down several heightism studies and bullet-pointing them into tweets that can be easily read on the fly.

Wow! This is really someone who has done the proper research needed to be at that prowess and is light years above the average twitter user, superb! Truly gold star- esque. He clearly runs a page for "controversial" opinions, so it's very reasonable to assume he sees through the status quo despite being up against a group who has all the power. What's disenchanting though is that he felt the need to add that disclaimer because he knew sexism against women would be shoehorned in some way. It's sad how there's that one time you can see atleast one white knight. regardless of height will call misogyny and it's all too predictable, it's as common as being insulted for your height as a short male in person and online.
Let's not overlook this refreshing breath of fresh air of a post and effort he needed to put in to do his research, this is extremely positive and telling in such times! The comments are mostly a dumpster fire and full of people trying to twist him into a misogynist with dating issues, but he couldn't have organized the bullet points into this template much better and there atleast are some favorites on the tweets. People like this need to be preserved and positively reinforced every time they put this much work in where it's lacking, not responded to with the same beaten straw-men.

Really good point about the disclaimer. Why does he need a disclaimer to post factual research? Actually, we know the reason why, and that reason is because you can't discuss any issue that affects men without being branded a misogynist, an incel, or some other slur. The comments making judgments about his character, dating life etc. are the typical trite nonsense that all of us who address heightism have endured on an endless loop. He didn't even say anything about his personal life, nor, did he even mention whether he is short, he just merely posted some research results that would rattle the status-quo, yet, people felt compelled to slap negative labels on him, and there's even a 6'7 malcontent who pointed the research out as being "incel studies." What does this even mean? Data alone has no positive or negative slant, and there is absolutely no incel tie-in with any of the institutions, publications, etc that generated the results, but people can get away with shutting down productive dialogue by slapping negative labels on the research, even without one iota of evidence to justify such labels. EDIT: I don't know if there were actually comments about his dating life etc, but I was just pointing-out the tactics people will use to discredit any objectivity people try to introduce into a heightism discussion

Yea, I pointed out there were comments about twisting him into a misogynist with dating issues and the few who said it were doing just that like the 6’7 douchebag. People who oppose heightism aren’t known for their listening skills after all.I’m starting to notice garmins are to heightism what whiteknights are to male problems in general.
Like garmins, those kind of men prove they’re “one of the good ones” by shutting down any criticizing of women, they create so many strawmen, they bring up outdated ideas of chivalry to discredit heightism, and would literally take a bullet to protect heightism and women respectively. As a result I’m seeing a an explicit juxtaposition between short uncle toms and male uncle toms who interject themselves in the ways they do when people like him make really woke posts about height prejudice when they think women are the catalyst for the person speaking out, and that both will synergistically band together as one entity when they fight us.

Anyone else see these glaring similarities? Thanks for clearing-up that there actually were comments about being misogynist etc. I didn't have time to really scan the whole thread, and had forgotten that you pointed this out in your post. You're absolutely correct about Garmins and white knights with their Uncle Tom ways. As a matter of fact, before we started using the term "Garmin," I referred to them as "Tiny Toms." They take the easy, spineless, cowardly way-out by "synergistically banding together" as you so eloquently put-it. The reason they are spineless cowards for doing this is because they use the tall man's tactics to keep us enlightened short men in our place. They do this because they know that they'll get immediately rewarded for restoring the status-quo's stranglehold on the narrative. If we start talking about the things talls and women do to short men, these Garmins know they will get immediately rewarded if they spout platitudes about confidence, "owning your height," "having a sense of humor about yourself" and talking about short celebrities. They don't even have to work hard to come-up with platitudes because the same platitudes are forcefed to every short male starting early in life. This is the type of behavior we're always talking about that gets them labeled as "one of the good ones." This is all fool's gold though because being labeled as a good subservient short man won't ever lead to any lasting respect.
