I already made a previous post about short men and "confirming stereotypes" (like the Napoleon Complex/Short Man Syndrome), but fuck that one.
I posted this new thread on TwoXChromosomes as an experiment. Expected 100% of them to not respond seriously to such an obviously fake thread, but I actually got something out of it. The original post is removed, but that's fine. I just used the usual lines, like "acting this way only validates their worldview and fuels stereotypes about us, if we stopped then maybe they would cut us some slack, etc." Only the stereotype here was, "most women go for alpha bad boys, which makes us look bad and taints how men view us."
My favorite responses:
They're going to look down on me no matter what I do and they'd only be happy with my extreme submission and would give me nothing in return for it. This actually gives me more incentive to act how I want because it gives me nothing to lose. It makes me EVEN LESS bound to social norms. I have nothing to lose because even obeying doesn't give a reward or at least whatever I want. There's almost nothing to win by playing along.
Just once, just frickin once, I would like it if folks stopped laying everything at women's feet and expecting them to change what they do, who they are, and what they want, just so that they don't have to do any sort of tremendously laborious thing such as not being an asshole.
Now, somebody could claim that pulling this stunt "confirms stereotypes" about short men and makes everyone hate us further, but that would be the sweetest irony, so don't do that. Either way, I really irked these ladies and they thought I was a redpiller in disguise (I don't endorse the RedPill, but obvious troll was obvious). Still, I saw enough of what I was looking for. If you look at the full thread, also notice how they have no qualms about talking back or being unfriendly, but that's because they should be mad at me for trying to control their actions like I own them. For what it's worth, I honestly feel bad and apologize for wasting their time, but I just had to know.
Through this, I have come to the conclusion that short people who fear "confirming stereotypes" are the most whipped group in modern society, because I can't remember the last time I saw a short man with this much fire and attitude who didn't get chewed out. If you want some quick examples of what I'm talking about: [1][2][3][4][5][6].
The older posts took some search engine voodoo to dig up, but they're worth it. As you can see, I've been taking note of this for a while now, but it's finally starting to piss me off (oops, confirming stereotypes again). While I could try this with other groups too, like "shouldn't Asians purposely do worse in math, or else we come off like loser nerds?", doing this experiment once means I've done it a thousand times.
Imagine if everyone tried to play nice with redpillers to change their ways. Yeah, I can't either. I also don't care if there are more height bigots than redpillers, or how women have more social support than we do. Prejudice is prejudice and short men shouldn't have to police ourselves to appease anyone.
This is my last post on this topic, promise. It's just my biggest pet peeve because even those who claim to be against discrimination use heightist stereotypes to threaten short men.
Obviously I've seen some of you who know where I'm coming from, but if this final post doesn't drive home the point for others, then nothing will. Quit playing by different rules than literally everyone else in society.
TL;DR: Short men shouldn't have to live the "behave or else" lifestyle just so society has to, and I quote, "do any sort of tremendously laborious thing such as not being an asshole."
