On The Bagel Boss Guy And Height Discrimination

[Unstoppable Empire of Doom]

What a pos.

Yes people discriminate based on height but to sue someone you challenged to fight is some seriously cowardly bs.

Ok. I made it to about page three. I clearly am not hip with current lingo.

1: Incel/InCel?
2: NEET?
3: Stacy community?

What are these things?

Thank you for filling me in.

I hate that this is my generation.

1: An incel, or involuntary celibate, generally refers to a man from his early teens to his late twenties who has minimal relationship experience and who is likely a virgin as well. However, many people who meets these two basic criteria would not qualify as incels. An incel specifically employs this term to describe himself, identifies with a broader community that often has problematic attitudes, and is deeply perturbed by his state as a virgin or less experienced romantic partner. Most often, blame is put on women, society, or some other factor. In most cases, however, the issue with an incel will be a lack of confidence, a more reserved personality, an absence of strong interpersonal relationships beyond the immediate family, social isolation, and, more often than not, prejudices towards women.

2: A NEET, derived from an acronym that stands for Not in Education, Employment, or Training, refers to someone who is not presently educating themselves, is not presently employed or seeking employment, and is not presently training or learning skills that would make them more socially engaging or worth hiring in a specialized position. Most often they are stereotyped as being obsessed with video games or the internet.

3: A Stacy is a stereo-typically preppy, attractive, and bitchy woman or girl, often seen as a bully or persecutor of nerdy, socially awkward, or physically unappealing men and boys. It is derived from Stacy being a stereotypical name for popular girls.

Pretty decent definitions.

Oh and hi Treadwellia!

And if you have minimal relationship experience and you manage to make it to 30+ years of age, you're a Wizard. If you have the same criteria and make it to 40+ years of age, you can be a Grand Wizard.

I am a height supremacist.

These sound like 80s movie characters.

I find it rather odd that a Swedish study in social sciences is being cited by someone who would likely disregard it in any other circumstance.
But yes, it is a problem and it disproportionately affects men. It is not, however, a problem to the degree that child custody discrimination, societal and legal acceptance of genital mutilation (for cis men), and disregard for sexual assault are.

> it isn't infrequent to stumble upon ill-intended comments aimed at the stature of people, especially men, done by a public that is usually composed of women.

>not baiting a tirade on how Vaginas Are Evil

whew lad.

It isn't wrong though? Just like the bulk of criticism on weight is done by men towards women, although thats a fairly established concept already

Plus most of the rant was based on the fact that women won't date him and he assumed it must be because of his height and not because he's, you know, the sort of guy to throw down in a bagel store because the cashier smiled at him.

Once you are harassed long enough by whatever characteristic you possess, it's unsurprising that you will end up assimilating social rejection to that -- even because it is rational to do so. While at his rant he also directly said that many women were extremely disrespectful to him because of his height, so its not like there is a random "residual" to explain his situation.

Nah. People have preferences. There are, of course, women who don't care about height or even like short guys in particular. It's not like the great uterine hivemind has decided short men are inferior. Weight is a similar deal. I find bigger women attractive and have way harsher opinions of fat men then I do fat women.


His perception of disrespect could be entirely wrong.

Aren’t those KKK positions?

"Don't even approach me if you ain't at least 6ft."

Both men and women are held to standards of physical attractiveness that for most people are unrealistic and not achievable. This is no different from someone getting the piss taken out of them for being over/underweight, their hair colour etc.

I mean, some people are dickheads - yeah. That's not a new thing. To pretend that every woman, or hell even most women are unwilling to date shorter men is ridiculous.

Fat shaming is correctly looked down on by society. The equivalent for short people (height shaming?) Is barely even mentioned and in fact is tolerated widely. Now I am not tall, nor overly short, about 5ft 9 I think, and I haven't had any trouble with this problem, but I have seen many times short men being mocked for being short or women saying they would only date someone over 6ft. Is it most women? Absolutely not. In the same way that most men don't fat shame. Still a problem though

[Griemvarant]

Didn't the guy's whole meltdown start because the bagel lady mocked him that he should be having mini-bagels, and everyone else chuckled? That kind of insult is unprofessional in the extreme and for someone that small I can only imagine how often he's insulted on a daily basis. When you've spent your entire life being mocked for something you can't control, and there are no government programs or propaganda operations to counteract the discrimination, it will of course breed extreme resentment.

His whole persona is about being professionally offended.

I thought short people were just for making Keebler cookies and cleaning chimneys.

She smiled at him and he threw down.

Its from long ago when they had to make all those long stretches to stick their fingers in the dyke. Today fingering a dyke would get them arrested.

If I may, I'm 6'5" (Well, 6'4 1/2...) and I'd like to know something. Other people say that I'm tall, so I guess that makes me tall? I mean, I don't feel particularly tall, but I digress. Anyway, my question is: what's it like to be short?
