hmm  its not like I can separate being a woman and color and being short. It comes as a one package. Just like you cant separate being short and being a man. I think what  you are referring to is intersectional discrimination. ANd yes I have experience intersectional discrimination for being a short woman of color. And im sure that there other short women who do experience discrimination. But I don't think its a fair assessment to say that NO short woman or its not as bad when YOU are not a short woman.

You cant say that. You are not a short woman.

Well, you can't say what short men suffer or not because you're not a short man. So you can't generalize the disadvantages.

I can say that short man do face discrimination because I have talked to lots of short men online and in real person. And I also can say the disadvantages short people do face because I have suffered from the same disadvantages.

Short enough to know that heightism is real. ANd short enough to know the social benefits I will gain once i am my desired height. My deisred height is to be five feet six female.

I don't mean to ignore your plight. Only you really know what you are going through. But unless you're delusional and think you can grow over 4-5 inches from two surgeries max, if you say your dream is 5'6" - that means you probably aren't that short. As a woman, if you are over 5ft, yes, you might get jabs from family/friends/coworkers - but nothing even remotely close to what you'd face as a short man. NOTHING.

Honestly, if you are really suffering, it's probably because you're just generally unattractive (irrespective of your race). I agree that black women do face a lot of stigmas in the dating world, and that's very wrong and unfair. I wont argue with you on that. But I know plenty of petite black women who hang with mostly white people/date men of all different races, I know one who is marred to a white guy with two kids...she's also very cute! She's TINY, maybe 5ft, she's black like you, and she's friggin' adorable (and I mean that in a good way, NOT in a demeaning way the way you'll probably try to spin it as).

You're probably just mentally unstable or unattractive. No matter what you or any woman says, despite how much you may truly suffer because of your height (which I believe is a mental "excuse" for other issues you have going on that you don't want to acknowledge)...being a short man is infinitely worse. Period. End of story. Case closed.
