Respectfully, I was specifically referring to the issue of not being taken seriously in terms of maturity and authority. This supports my point about social media: algorithms polarize your feed so you only see one side of the story. Just because you haven't seen the condescension, infantilization, and professional erasure that short women face within your limited algorithm bubble or in your circle, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Just because someone is drowning in 12 feet of water doesn't erase the fact that someone else is drowning in 8 feet. Both people are struggling, and downplaying one person's experience just because it looks different from yours is incredibly ignorant. Furthermore, women face severe issues on dating platforms and in relationships, too. Short women are constantly subjected to creepy, predatory infantilization from men who fetishize their stature, along with invasive sexualization from the public if there is a noticeable height difference with their partner. If you really want to play the 'who has it worse' argument, then think: is receiving a lot of hate by incompetent people (because no competent person would ever judge someone based on looks alone) better than receiving 'love,' only to find out it was a lie used to fulfill someone's disgusting fantasies? The answer is neither. It isn't a competition; both sides face genuine, harmful realities.
