As a below average male in stature damn right tall people need to check their size privilege. When someone plays the Randy Newman "Short People" I do not feel safe in that space.

Why kind of size are they referring to??
Height? Width? Or, ummm, “length”??

Oh yeah? Try your whining with my 6’4” husband, who has gone thru life banging his head and scraping his knees cramming into a world designed and sized for Asians.

That's why it is a microagression.

As someone who carries a few extra pounds, I yearn for the days past when having a pot belly was a symbol of wealth and gave one a certain gravitas. Is that size privilege?

You also won’t bang your head as many times as I do in my basement crawl space. There are definite disadvantages to being tall.

I should mention, I don't know how I wound up w/a semi-giant. I always gravitated towards smaller guys until him.

The posters were placed "all over campus" by the school's Bias Response CommitteeMao's Red Guards strike again.
Seriously, this trend is going to bring down America from within. Very disturbing.

Obviously, this is a grave problem of basic fairness that strikes at the heart of what it means to be a New American.
But there is hope! We can support laws to induce the unfairly tall to walk around in public stooped over to the average height, perhaps about 5’5’.
“Nobody alive over 5 feet 5!” can be the rallying chant of the movement!
And the government should provide booster heels to anybody under 5’5” to bring them up to parity.
At last, we shall all see exactly eye to eye! Then, we can begin to study pigmentation, and how to make everybody the same shade of tan.

The ongoing, insane quest to remove every standard of any sort from society. All things and all people are equal, nothing is more desirable than anything or anybody else.
Of course, none of these frauds mouthing this nonsense actually base their personal choices on it.

Universities are run by morons. Someone should form a corporation that conservatives can invest in, and start buying universities and phasing out Marxists and socialists.
