I read every comment on my blog. At present, the site has 12,000+ comments and new ones pour in each day. So, sometimes, I’m a little late on catching up. Having read the past 20 or so on this 1-year old post, I realize I probably should have closed the thread earlier.

As a reminder, the only comment policy around here is “be kind.” Be kind to me and be kind to your fellow comment-leavers. Easy enough, right? If you can’t do that, you can’t comment.

I’ve closed this thread.

oh wait….is there such a thing as a short troll?

MY god

lol — remove the discriminatory post and we shall call it quits.

“Hey matt your attitude is inferior ,I know dozens of short men  with very high status. Sounds to me like your feeling sorry for yourself Matt. As long as short men like you think inferiorm, you’ll always be inferior. I know Im not inferior, and Matt there’s no trick about conficence in a man and feeling good you cant trick or fake that, Matt and   oh if a short mans confiden its a trick to get women. Matt you sound like a dam fool, what the fuck are you talking about, so if a tall mans confidend in himself, then I guess he’s not considered to be tricking women, only confident short guys. What the fuck are you talking about Stalion, ether you have confidence or you dont no trick about it fucking jackass  Matt.   I know plenty of short men who dont feel sorry for themselves and moved up in the world to high positions Matt, even little people. You must have absolutly no Idea of how to even deal with people let alone get a woman in the real world it seem. It all starts from the inside out not the outside in, you should feel good about yourself no matter what, workplace or media or political arena is saying or doing. I know I feel good about my self with a very high confidence no trick about it MATT .I may be short butt every one likes me no trick to that,  and for your information   the women wanted me there was no trick about that if you know anything about psychology Matty boy.”

Yeah.  I can see the kind of ‘women’ you might attract.  I’ll bet they just love inteligent psychologists like you.  Don’t they?

It’s always the people who are the idiots who name-call.  You didn’t respond to one thing I wrote.  You twisted what I wrote to suit your own purpose.  I rather not engage in a personal attack but just viewing your spelling tells me you have a 4th grade reading level – if that.  You claim to study psychology buy you can’t even spell and your grammar is abominable.  Here are a few examples – ” rediculous”, “inteligent”, “arent”, “gianning thier respect”, “more especially”. 

Where did I write that there should be a law for “people to respect short people and give them power”?  I believe that short people should have the same rights that other groups do.  If that were to occur through legislation then the negative attitudes of women might change, even though there probably will never be a law ‘requiring’ women to date men their height or shorter. 

Joeyyyyyyyyyyyy further states:

“No law or rally in the world is gonna make women like short men, more especially a short mens rally for power  if anything this will turn women off/make them laugh.”

Many women are already turned-off to short men.  Many already laugh at short men.  We’re already treated as a joke by some.  We have nothing to lose.  Some of the posts on this board prove that.  I think every short man knows that at one level or another. The self-condeming attitude of some of the short men on this group and others contributes to this and seeming “rugged individualists” like yourself make it worse.  I hate to say it, but it’s short men like you (if you are actually short) that keep the rest of us in our place with your attitude.  You seem to approach short men’s issues with women from an individualistic stance.  As short people are viewed as other groups are viewed and they gain rights the attitudes of others will change.  Short men and short people will no longer be targets of the hostility of others.  You claim to be short but you get upset when another short man wants rights for short people.  You’re the equivalent of a Black “Uncle Tom”.  You betray other short people with your attitude.  Furthermore, go take an English course.

“Your whole battle of the short people to achieve respect and power is utterly rediculous.”

“these men on here arent talking about getting raises or respect or power in the work place, their talking about getting women  to be attracted to them gianning thier respect and being with them, getting  the women to like and be attracted to them”

Hey Joey-

Have you ever wondered why women have so little respect for short men in the first place? Could it be that they are being conditioned by society to believe short men are inferior?

Short men are almost always portrayed by the media as losers. Short men are much less able to achieve respected positions of wealth or leadership because of the discrimination they face. Female celebrities like Sophie Dahl, Carla Bruni and Nicole Kidman are fiercely criticized for dating short men. How could all this NOT affect women’s perception of short men?

The real solution isn’t to accept being discriminated against by society, while “tricking” a few women into liking us, but to attack the underlying premise that short men are inferior- whether it is in the workplace, the media, the political arena, or the dating world.
