TV ad showing shorter man as wimpy and scared of bigger man

This ad aired a few months ago and I was finally able to track it down.

The smaller man wearing a NY Yankee cap spills his nachos on the much bigger Boston Red Sox fan.  The bigger man stands up and glares down on the shorter man, who then asks his taller friend for help.

His taller friend sends a new jersey to the bigger man using a pay service to calm him down and still the shorter man appears to be frightened as he wipes food on the big man.

If the big man had spilled food on the shorter man, do you think he would have reacted the same way?  No, he would have laughed.

UK study correlating short height and obesity with lower pay

This comes for Exeter college.  Basically verifying that there is a bias towards short males and overweight females  in the workplace.

Of course, now some employment judges in the UK want to ban fattism in the workplace but no such remedy for short men.

Yet, who has more control over their situation?  No matter how much I work out or exercise, I will not gain an inch in height but it seems that society thinks my height is something I should change or is a character flaw.  However, many overweight people (not all) do have much more of a choice than do those of us who are shorter in stature, so why don't we get the same amount of legal protection that is being considered for the overweight in the workplace in the UK?

Here is a video suggesting that short men and overweight women experience the same issues in the workplace and lower pay.

Michael Lee, a gay writer, expresses his hatred for short men!

Oh yes he did! 

This writer, who is gay (according to the text of the article anyway) expresses his fury and hatred over short men.

So, wait a minute!  After what just happened in Orlando two weeks ago and how outspoken the LGBT community has been against hatred, this ass has no problem spewing his contempt for short men?

So typical isn't it? "You had better not hate me short man but I can hate you over something over which you have no control and out of the other side of my hypocritical mouth I denounce hatred and intolerance,"   says everyone else that is protected from discrimination and screams when it happens to them.

Can you imagine a similar article spewing hate and venom at anyone else and not drawing the ire and rebuke of society as a whole?

What a hypocritical piece of trash!  Look at this crap:    Think it is satire?

Look at this video based on the recent study that taller people are more productive

The same study never pointed out how these taller people are more productive at work tho, it just said they make more money due to their heights.


Of course, all the short people are depicted by short males right?  Get a load of how they have a pic of a much taller woman standing over a short male.

A healthier and cheaper alternative to growth hormone: Testosterone injections

I am sure I don't have to tell the people reading this blog how popular HGH treatment is for shorter children; parents don't want their children to end up short because of bullying in school and better opportunities in life and the workplace are given to taller people.

However, this treatment can be very costly if not covered by insurance; up to $50,000/year in some cases.  After that treatment is over, the child will not have grown substantially, perhaps adding on an extra two or three inches to their initial projected height.   The child will still be short as an adult and feel the pangs of discrimination.

When I was a child, I, of course, was extremely shorter than my peers.  It had more to do with my constitutional short stature ( delayed growth) than lack of growth hormone production.  At the age of twelve, my pediatrician decided to give me testosterone (male hormone) injections.  I was about 4'2" at that age.  These injections, although they sped up my growth, didn't add any height to my projected height of 5'4";  they were given once a month for a period of one year.   When I turned fourteen, I stood about 5'2" or 5'3".  The cost for these injections was a lot cheaper than growth hormone treatment, which I probably wouldn't have been given anyway because my growth hormone levels weren't low enough for them.

In the past years, I have said that I was given growth hormone, after my family told me they thought my shortness was due to lack of growth hormone. Now, I know differently.  I wouldn't have been given testosterone injections if I had been given growth hormone at an earlier age.

So, growth hormone and male hormone are two different things when it comes to cost and treatment.  Parents may opt for HGH treatment after the FDA approved the use of it for children who have idiopathic short stature (no medical reason) in 2003..  In 1980, growth hormone was only given to children who had a medical issue and then it was taken from cadavers, it wasn't synthetic.  Now, it is more widely available but costly as I mentioned.

If your child is growing slower than his peers, you may want to consider testosterone treatment as an alternative.  It is a lot less expensive  and safer than growth hormone (side effects to HGH use are possible, however there has not been enough evidence yet to suggest that they are dangerous).   True, HGH may add (and I stress MAY) on a couple of inches but testosterone will speed up your child's puberty and he will start growing rather rapidly.  Keep in mind that what it will do is get him to his final height quicker.

For younger females who are behind their peers, perhaps estrogen treatment might be an alternative as well.. 

I would strongly encourage people to consider this as an option for their children, instead of growth hormone.  Your child will grow rapidly once treatment begins  and it will be cheaper.  Have a look at this article:

Raheel Raza, Muslim author and activist who doesnt like to be stereotyped, stereotypes short men

This woman, who wrote a book entitled "Their Jihad, Not My Jihad"  which is a book saying that she hates the idea that all Muslims are looked at as terrorists (and therefore against stereotyping) couldn't wait to attack "short funny looking men" in this clip from 2010.

Her position here is that short men are responsible for the problems in the world.  Because Osama Bin Laden was really short wasn't he?   About 6'6" if I can recall.

Australian woman fired for being too short and too young looking

This happened back in 2010; the article is from 2012..    A real estate agency in Australia, Buxton, hired her (maybe she was tall when that happened..lol) and then fired her saying she looked too young and was too short for her sales position.
