You don't have. It's a very grave form of toxic masculinity that women also love to engage in. It's actually an issue. Short men aren't even seen as men by a lot of people.
my point was not that, but that tall women can't date any guys because they will be judged if the man is shorter than them, and they will also face judgement for dating women because of homophobia. and if they date no one that's a problem too. I'm starting to sense a pattern society doesn't like women, but I need more evidence to be sure.
This seems to be a thing that Anglo women fixate on. I see this sometimes but not nearly as often in Latin countries. All the women I've dated have been taller and nobody really cared. We tend to judge more on interracial couples, particularly if you happen to date an indigenous man or woman.
Totally. Some of the asian guys I'm friends with have gotten height-related harassment too (especially on the internet), to the point where a couple started putting their heights in their Tinder profiles to stave off questions about it
Mentioned this down-thread, but there's nothing wrong with defending groups from mistreatment, even if they experience some form of privilege — the whole point of intersectionalism is that these things have negative impacts on many other groups.
Harassing and discriminating against short men also has a reciprocal effect of spawning harassment and discrimination against tall women, and disproportionately affects trans people of any gender, people of color, and people who grew up malnourished either from lack of nutritious food or lack of proper sanitation leading to hookworm infections and other parasites (generally due to poverty, often as the result of neocolonialism).
Maybe I'm having too much male solidarity now... but I do feel super bad with how difficult it is for shorter men.

It also intersects significantly with transphobia and racism, as these things often do
Yeah I've got a friend who's roughly 6'3 and people keep assuming she's trans just because she's weirdly tall
Not to mention when she dares to date a guy shorter than her. People will obsess over that non-stop. Tall women really can't win, either.

in my experience, they can if they're gay :hexbear-lesbian:
darn lesbian privilege.
I think the gendered connotation of guy is important here
Lol true - I was mostly responding to "tall women can't win" but my answer similarly applies for any sapphics :hexbear-bi-2:

Yes it does! A lot of trans men are the target of this kind of harassment.

How could there be too much solidarity

It's honestly fine. I've been on the shorter side my whole life. It's not a big deal
To you
Yep
