Re: Height

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it always bugged me when people said it, cause it was usually in response to me expressing insecurity about my height, like the only reason I could feel insecure about being under 5 feet tall is whether or not guys would like it. Even if I was straight that would bug me, I feel.

And it usually came with a lot of gendered baggage like "guys like it when they feel like they can protect you!" and even before I knew I was gay I was like ... I guess that's a nice sentiment but doesn't sound very equal?

Re: Height

I totally get it. People who say those things seem to be placing a weird amount of importance on how attractive a particular trait (over which you don't have a whole lot of control) is to men, prioritizing it over the practical drawbacks of being short and your own personal preferences. You just happened to be aware of the inherent BS in such thinking from an early age, which is good.

Re: Height

It's because some people believe that the most important thing about a woman is her attractiveness to men. :(

Re: Height

Dude, yes, UGH. Any guy who is driven by a need to feel like he can protect me...DNW. Like yeah I want him to protect me if I actually need it but I a. also want him to accept that I will do the same for him and not feel emasculated by it and b. I don't want that to be why he's attracted to me, like he's actively searching out some delicate flower to validate his masculinity. It's just a really strong aversion for me and I don't understand it.

And honestly I do agree that it doesn't sound very equal but I don't usually say that because I don't want to disparage people who do want that kind of dynamic. It does play into why it doesn't appeal to me though, and it also annoys me when people try to force that dynamic onto other couples.
