Literally I’ve never understood why people (especially men) get judged for being short

My Dad once told me Son, when you're lying down, it doesn't matter who's taller. And he was definitely right!

Don't judge full stop.

The 99% of women who demand men to be 6ft or up are smaller than Plankton

I don't judge a guy for being short, but as a 6'1" woman, I do want someone taller than me. I've been told my height in intimidating, so I don't want to feel like i'm a freak or giant in my relationships.

As a bio. Female, I get judged all the time for my height. Like I can't cotrol the fact I'm 5"10! Leave me alone!

The weight to height analogy is not quite perfect. A short man may not be looked at as a potential romantic partner, but no one will judge his character for it. A fat person will be judged as not a worthwhile romantic partner and a POS for being fat.

My boyfriend is shorter than I am, I'm supremely unconcerned with that. He's wonderful, caring and amazing. I would love him if he was 6 foot or 4 foot, because of who he is as a person.

I’ve never cared about packaging; big brains are where it’s at. So I’ve usually dated shorter men because other ladies miss some amazing fellas for a dumb reason. I guess they’d rather have a constantly sore neck?

A YouTuber described people who judge height amazingly by saying “Ha ha, my parents’ genes combined in such a way that they’ve given me more height than the way your parents’ genes combined”

Height obsession seems mostly an USA thing

As a 5'2" woman I sometimes wish I was taller or my hubby 6'1" shorter so we wouldn't be so far away from each other. That being said, gender related preferences suck. Things considered not enough manly or womanly p*ss me off.

I don't know anyone who judges men for being short here in africa, usually a short man marries a short woman.

I Absolutely HATE being called "too tall". I'm 6'6" (198.1cm). My new response is "If I was any shorter my feet wouldn't reach the ground."

Short men are sexy AF.

My dad was 6'2. All of my boyfriends have been 5'10 and under. My mom asked where I found all these short guys. They're at eye-level.

i was once told by a woman at work that i "wasn't a real man" because i'm 5 foot 7.....!!

Or the judging of a short man with a tall woman. It actually makes since. People r attracted to traits they want in their children.

Women need to feel safe, especially if they are exceptionally beautiful, many women I know have been scouted for trafficking even if it’s enticing children to leave the safety of their rules. Protect children online and when the doors are unlocked.

Yessss give me my Piña Colada and shut up!

I sometimes get funny looks when I'm at the park with my own kid. Majority of men are not pedophiles and woman can also be them... So yeah.

Where I work, it used to be old school men, tradespeople, manly men. It has changed over the years. People in general, even the "old school" men now feel more comfortable talking about their mental health. This is a good thing.

This is so true! Men should be treated the same respect as talking to a someone of the same gender as a woman does!

All of which are jobs that men do, some quite famously so. Really silly to think it is effeminate when it's a hobby.

Pffft, I took it all, then took my holidays right after it. Wasn't just my wife who made the baby.

Dominating side of Manhood. Something not good or bad to say.

Most of me is always ready for sex. But the body, unfortunately, is not a democracy.

That's what a wanker would say :)))))) Joke aside, don't waste water for taking 30 minutes showers.

Everyone is different and experiences emotions in unique ways. We should all be able to express that how we see fit as long as we are not hurting or hindering others or ourselves. No two people experience emotions the same way. So who can say what is right and what is wrong.

AND there is no urine around the bowl after.

We who appear strong and silent are more often timid and terrified.

Same, tired of trying to fit into the boxes of "you have to have x at that age" Live your life the way you want and can.

I use to go for massage. Yes it make me feel good for muscles.

This is where the wife needs to speak up and call out how much they are doing. And be sure to express gratitude - just because it is expected for people to step up doesn't mean it should go without appreciation.

I'm a father of 3 - all past the kindergarten era. Some of the very best, and most popular pedagogues was the men - they had an awesome take on the kids, played with them very different than the female pedagogues, and was loved by the children. However they were forced to work under crazy conditions, could never be alone with a child, not change a diaper. I sadden me that the law suspected them, so they had special rules... They were the best!

Sure but from women's perspective any man can be a threat. The evolutionary cost of being on guard all the time is smaller that being raped / killed / kidnapped. We don't like that, it's mentally exhausting but this is the reality.

does it count for women too?? i'll turn 40 next year. i want a convertible. not a mid-life crisis, just can finally afford it, and i'm tired of driving a minivan, momma wants to drive something fun! :)

I've unironically worn certain sex toys under my clothes because they prevent this. I swear someone should invent a bra for balls

Women have been awful to my hubby in the past, cheating on him, being violent towards him etc. I admire him for not becoming bitter, though he'd have every reason to. We talk things through so there are no trust issues, luckily I understand myself enough to explain why I sometimes act the way I do. Boys and men have often treated me like I'm less than and I'd say I'm more bitter at times than he is.

And nobody ever considers that maybe their parents need support and not the other way around

This is me. It's really draining to have a long draw out conversation about something I apologized for and want to get over.

If somebody judges you for giving your daughter a happy memory can unkindly f**k off

Oh my god. A common occurence.

True - you don't have to be judged for something what was created before your time. But you have the responsibility to change things now. Just not to think that women are lesser is unfortunately not enough for a change. Work actively against patriarchic structures whereever you can!

My husband has an insulated Hello, Kitty lunch bag that he carries proudly. I worked a corporate job that I loved. I was the VP/Operations assistant and for Christmas one year he gave me a hot pink lunch box (with thermos!) with Mickey & Minnie Mouse at a 50's style diner with a card that said "remember not to take yourself too seriously". Loved that guy.

being a woman who doesn't want to be around kids, nor do I like kids, I keep getting put into position of having to be around them in social gatherings because "it's a woman thing". Hate it

It's either flattering or creepy - depending on how the guy looks. Being judgy based on appearance is something both genders do. (In reference to the red flag "How a man treats ugly women")
