[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just one of those things that's considered a genetically desirable trait.

Taller people excel at more types of sports, height is correlated with career success, taller people are perceived as more confident, etc.

As a shorter woman, I worried about having short sons, so I did prefer to date average-to-above-average height men. Ironically, now I have two DDs.[/quote]

That’s as outdated as saying light colored skin and blue eyes are correlated with career success.  [/quote]

It's not really the same thing though. Height (in men) is a pretty desirable trait in all cultures.[/quote]

It is the same idea because it’s a genetic trait that people do not control.  Half of Asian women in some Asian countries use skin whitening creams.  Lighter skin is desirable in pretty much all cultures.

We know that how much melanin in the skin has no bearing on intelligence.   We know that height has no bearing on intelligence.  But both groups face discrimination and it’s hard to believe the discrimination still exists.  Makes no sense.
