Heightism Redux

I have written more columns about women's prejudice against short men than any other subject.

One reason is that as my columns are somehow ciurculated and reprinted on the Internet, I often get responses from short men who have been the object of this prejudice.

Here are portions of a recent email that I received:

Man I read your article. I am so feeling everything u said there. It's true. women are such hypocrites. They talk (expletive deleted) about men being like this and like that, but they don t see the real monster: themselves...
My name is... well it doesn t matter. What matters is my height (5.5 ) At least this is all that matters to women. All women. By all women I mean something like 97 % of them. I 'm serious about this....This is one type of discrimination but short men get all sort of other discrimination... because of their height. As if it is something we can control ...
Short men get discriminated at their jobs also cause of their height. In sports also. In movie industry... It's crazy. It's more serious than racial discrimination. But mass media seems to address only racial issues. If I were black and got to be discriminated in an all white community, I would simply get out of that place and move.... BUT as a short person. Where the (expletive deleted) am I suposed to go? China? Even there, women act the same. Black women are the same. Polish women the same. Latinas the same. They all want tall men. Anyways, the conclusion is that I (and many other short men out there) suffered my whole life cause of discrimination like this and I think somebody should address this issue publically and seriously for it is a serious matter....

All that being said I want to THANK YOU for writing about this topic and I urge you to write more and try to go on TV with this so that awareness about this ISSUE.
Please excuse my poor english. I'm not from an english speaking country.
