This is top tier gaslighting. I dont know why people bend over backwards to blame anyone but women for the 6ft meme. Manosphere reacted to a real thing and grifted off it growing it into political campaigning but is was real sentiment experienced by men. I'm not short and I see it happen all the time. Women are open about it.
Before the 6ft meme the redpill meme for guys was to laugh at tall guys and call them skeles until height became a desirable trait and it reversed with short dudes getting laughed at for being manlets.
It used to be niche and restricted to internet cesspits but YouTube and tiktok really brought the most toxic parts of the redpill, pua and lookism into the mainstream. It started ironic as a joke mocking lookism but kids got sucked in hard and lines blurred.
I'm still pissed these people have managed to infect so much of the male fitness community.
Your really going to blame all women for that? I know tons of women who haven't even really given it a passing thought.
Even if it were a common sentiment, <15% of men are 6ft anyway so most will have to settle.
They never said the word all
No but it wouldn't have hurt to use the word "some".
They also never specified a woman or group of women either.
Which is why you shouldn't assume they meant all women.
Why? We don't know that person. They could have meant either option.
Which is why you should ask for clarification instead of making assumptions.
Well then their comment is pointless. There are shitty people everywhere. Men are rapists.
#notallmen
You're saying all men are rapists?
I guess I'm just poking fun at what I see as a dumb line of argument that derails constructive discussion. Trying to strawman someone's argument by suggesting they mean all men/women is not productive.
