Valorzeal posted this over in r/heightdiscrimination, and since there isn't a lot of overlap between the posters here-and-there yet, I might bring some r/heightdiscrimination content here until the two boards have more synergy.
Here's the article

What an absolute Garmina, especially considering that photo. Notice how she won't attribute her over-aggressive behaviors to "penis envy." The reason she won't do this is because she doesn't want to use any discriminatory mechanisms that have been used against women. On the contrary, she has no problems having so much "tee-heeeeeee" fun with an extremely-damaging stereotype that has been used as reason to hate short men for decades. As a short woman, she has no leeway to make light of this stereotype when it is used to excuse heinous acts and beliefs against short men. This is the equivalent of if I sprained my ankle and went around parading myself as a caricature that was offensive to people with disabilities.
She's utterly ridiculous considering she's barely even short for a woman, yet, she's making light of a degrading stereotype that is used to punish short men, especially considering that said stereotype is based on a historical figure who wasn't even short to begin with. How many different types of wrong can one person be?
Maybe most importantly, notice how openly heightism was indoctrinated into she and her classmates in ninth grade. She speaks of the character Curly from Of Mice and Men having a "Napoleon Complex that was central to his character." Imagine a whole classroom of snarky-aged teenagers discussing how awful short men are and receiving complimentary remarks from a teacher for doing so. I can't imagine how awful it got if the teacher was a woman or a tall man. What if a male teacher selected the most redpill novel he could find and subjected ninth grade girls to extremely negative stereotypes without offering any type of lesson about how the stereotypes were wrong?
For the sake of complete objectivity though, let's say that this was a one-in-a-million scenario where the teacher did educate the class about how Napoleon Complex is junk science, is extremely discriminatory, and used it as a teachable moment. Well..if that were the case, this Garmina sure did throw that lesson away and continue her self-loathing beliefs about short people; Rooted mainly in hateful stereotypes about short men.
(Like I said though, there's only a one-in-a-million chance that the teacher spent one iota of effort on undoing the harm done by choosing that particular novel, so more than likely, this was open season on short men, and there could've even been test questions where the right answers degraded short men. )
Furthermore, can you imagine how the short boys in the class felt? Of course, they didn't say anything about this because short boys are told numerous ways to keep their mouths shut if they're mistreated on account of their height, and if they go to most adults for help, they're fed a spoonful of platitudes that solve nothing. They're literally teaching open hatred of short men in schools these days; Not merely allowing it, they're flat-out making it part of the curriculum. We're certainly seeing the results of this in the cultural narrative.
