Does our society have a systemic bias against short men?
I’m 6 ft tall with boots on so I don’t experience much height discrimination, but I don’t think this is the same for everyone.
What do people think?

this whole idea is amusing because the people that complain the most about it are the same people that worship the false idea of an "alpha male".
like they hate that some women prefer taller men, but also they trip over themselves to give "alpha male" influencers money and clicks to tell them about it.
Not the .5 sksksk
I might be 5’10.5 but I’m not shorter than that in the least. I love being close to 6ft tall.
Being at all happier that you're an inch taller wearing heals is your entire problem. You'll end up always being miserable unless you're dressing yourself into something that you're not. People care as much about your height as you do about theirs.
i've been getting targeted ads for shoes that make you up to 2.4" taller.. so clearly i must be looking at too many short guy things. i definitely dont need to be 6'7" with some lifts..
You guys remember the bagel boss guy?
that's definitely pw
but in all seriousness, shame about those vids though is they never show what provoked it so they always look unhinged like pw but perhaps someone did say or do something terrible to him just prior
All yous women!!
yeah but i mean, we all know he didn't go there to start ranting, he just wanted a bagel
something had to have happened or been said to set that off
So, so cute.
Thank you 😀
I experienced an instance of heightism coupled with racism and a side dish of sexism yesterday at the grocery store. I was just in to go buy some distilled water for my steam cleaner and on the way to the register a height-challenged woman of color flagged me down to get her and her elderly mother in one of the scooters the last 3 containers of grits from the very back of the top shelf.
The average person can't possibly reach back there without a stool or ladder, and why were the grits hiding on the top shelf in the first place? It's widely acknowledged that grits are more popular in black culture and that black people are, on average, shorter than whites. Women are shorter than men and do most of the shopping. Why is there a top shelf at all? Be better, Pick N' Save. Shame on you.
thank you for solving racism insoo by grabbing some grits
No sweat. I'm here to help.
There's no shelf too high for social justice.
Did y’all know Waffle House has grits???

Even if someone was antagonizing him before the video started, no sane person behaves like that.
I do love how when he tells the guy to attack him his bluffs gets called immediately.
Turns out the guy is a confirmed basket case. Had a YouTube channel where he showed videos of him getting into arguments with people in public.
Skip to halfway through this one, they interview him
