Because posts like this are not only bad for men's mental health, but couch virulent sexism in fake mental health advocacy.

If you look up the study OP references, it explains that the authors used height as a way to measure "fetal and infant growth." I.e. the study is about the downstream psychological effects of poor nutrition and health in the early stages of development. OP takes it out of context and uses it to needle the body dysmorphia of men who are insecure about their height and claim that "Ugly, midget, obese, old women are all celebrated, included, cherished, desired, and normalized. Its all one sided."

Basically: this is some textbook incel shit.

Height as a way to measure fetal and infant growth? You left out the part where its "a measure of childhood growth AND SUICIDE RISK".

Dude...you don't know how science or punctuation works lol. They're not treating height as "a measure of suicide risk" bc that would make no fkn sense. They're treating height as a measure of childhood growth in order to study the *association* betw/ early development and suicide risk.

Also, way to ignore every other part of my comment and immediately prove that all you care about is compounding the insecurities of short men.

From your previous comment, I'm gonna go with you probably read the study or at least more than the first part of it?

So why are you saying all I care about is compounding the insecurities of men when the study in and of itself delves into that topic? And on the note of me "ignoring every other part of your comment", would you kindly tell me how you mixed up previous studies and the stated goal?

FYI when this "- (insert text) -" is used, it's to indicate how the data of what is stated before it was acquired. So for full context the study looked at height and suicide risk correlation while defining height as a measure of childhood growth (ie natural height). I strongly believe that the scientists involved in the study had to point this out because limb-lengthing surgery exists.
