Our family motto (for sports) is “I may be smaller than you, but I’m also meaner”. While mostly a joke, it’s a great reminder that determination counts for a lot in sports, and it’s good not to take yourself too seriously regardless of height. While short men do experience discrimination, it’s not such a big deal in the scheme of things.

And this is why people hate traveling with short women, yes in particular short women! Any short woman in your tour group is bound to be like this one. Pushy, nasty, no regard for other persons. This probably transfers to all aspects of life. Who cares if someone else is pulling out of the parking spot, they better get back in bcs I am doing it first. This is not a healthy attitude in any aspect of life, not even as a joke.

I work with 2 men who are about 5'7"-- both lovely men with successful careers and attractive wives. I work with another man who is what I consider very short, about 5'4", he is also successful at work and married.

TBH, I find the handwringing over short but healthy children to be really tiresome. If this is your biggest worry, you are supremely lucky in life.

- average height woman with a 5'1" mother, a 5'0" SIL, a 5'6" nephew (age 18), and a 4'11" best friend.

+1 I find it offensive as a short woman with a short husband and short kids. We are fine, successful, happy people. Should we be ashamed of ourselves and hide because we are shorter than average?

+2 I'm 5'1". DH is 5'6". Older DS peaked at 5'7", DD will be lucky to break 5' and younger DS, at age 15, is only 5'2". We, too, are fine, successful, happy people. Height is only an issue if you make it one.
