    Your insecurity is showing op. Nobody should be sad about their height.

      This right here is how toxic masculinity is done. One of its main rules is: “Men don’t complain.” Height privilege is real, as described by another Lemming in this thread. But a shorter man lamenting that he’s on the wrong end of it is breaking the rule, so instead of sympathy, he gets told that he’s defective for having a natural, human reaction.

      (Yes, I know I’m breaking the rule, too.)
