Leftism comes from vanity driven envy, and if you look at the things leftists envy, most of it is just basic size envy. Size is a very sensitive subject for them. Their love for trains and sky scrappers is size compensation for a certain little something.

“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.”

At 6’1” (at one time, I seem to have shrunk an inch over the years) I would continually knock my helmet off entering homes and buildings in SE Asia. I never did learn to duck, and it became somewhat of a joke that I was too dimwitted to remember to duck to the point that some guys would wager if I knocked my helmet off on a particular day.

If I was 6’4” I would have probably been breaking the bridge of my nose on a weekly basis.

Where’s the ‘equality’ on the basketball team?

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.

Of course, it can be a problem having so much gravitas that NASA calls you to plead with you to stop pulling their satellites out of orbit...

Regards,

I was at an IKEA once and asked a tall man to reach a package on a high shelf for me. (I'm 5'2"). He did, but then looked at me and said, "It sucks to be short." and laughed at me

Oh my gosh what a jerk! Hubby would never do that. His sister is only 4'10" btw. She has Turner's syndrome.

Today's liberals need to understand that Greek myths, Atlas Shrugged, and 1984 were not meant to be instruction manuals.

Nor was Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron!

I'd have told him "Yeah, but I can punch you in the nuts and get a shoulder behind it."

Certainly opens the door to conduct council charges by guys with small -—— against women who won’t —— them.

Who has the popcorn concession on that campus? I’d like to invest.

Myth busters did a segment on this. Big boobs increases tips.

Are you saying they 'busted' that myth? Hard to believe if true!
