Are you above or below "Average" Height? And how do you think that has affected you in your life?
Curious, because I am a 6'1" woman, who's been though all the agony of instant masculine rejection, subjected to all the same stupid comments ("do you play Basketball?" "How did you get so tall?") most of my life, and where I used to curse my height, I also understand how beneficial it's been for me. I'm sure I'm liberal because of it: Not the custom mold, so I was forced into critical thinking and questioning the social tenets.
It's a superficial, visual world we live in. People size you up, and immediately want to pigeonhole you--so if you're not "normal" (anything from being too tall or too short, to being a different race.) you're judged and stereotyped. Now, I know the issues I had as a kid (I've been this height since 1969, and THAT was fun, lemme tell you!) are still the same issues young tall women have today. Meh. Slow learning curve, I guess. And as I speak to my friends of all different heights and sizes, I see a whole subtext of prejudice: Sizism, possibly? And just wondering what everyone has come up against because of it.

Apparently you can stack dumbshit that high...

Sizism? OMG! We need more minorities..................(http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/handface.gif)
How about me? I'm a white male, 6'1", retired after a reasonably successful career, married, and debt free. I want some sympathy! (http://www.conservativecave.com/Smileys/default/bawling.gif)

Well, you should get recognition for being part of a very small minority.

If there are so many minorities around, how can there be any oppressive majorities? Maybe the oppressed minorities are really the oppressive majorities. Makes sense to me anyway.......

Men didn't reject you because you're 6'1" tall, long and pink DUmmy. They rejected you because you're an insufferable moonbat.

I'm disappointed nadin didn't "weigh" in on this thread.

I also understand how beneficial it's been for me.
So?
I'm sure I'm liberal because of it:
You're kidding........ :rotf: No, no, no...you're liberal because you're stupid. Quite simple, actually.
Not the custom mold, so I was forced into critical thinking and questioning the social tenets.
No. You felt like some kind of VICTIM
Critical thinking..... :rotf: :rotf:
Now, I know the issues I had as a kid
Had? Trust me, they're still there.
I see a whole subtext of prejudice: Sizism, possibly? And just wondering what everyone has come up against because of it.
Yeah, you have issues.
-
seriously?? I don't think your height/weight have ANYTHING to do with your politics.
What an ass!!!
In all seriousness, I should loathe the military, because , I couldn't get in, because of my height. It is not their fault, however, that I am short. So I support the military in other ways..

Yeah right - that's why models and actresses are so rejected. There are a lot of very famous tall women. Like Michelle Obama and Lady Diana.

That may be the first time anyone has ever grouped the First Wookie and Princess Diana together.
