Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I've literally never heard of that take on short women. Not saying you're wrong, but that's new to me.
Her family is from India. They have a caste system and you bet your ass she's from the top of that. She's from a long line up "upper class" people who look down on the poor and disenfranchised. She just happens to be a little brown.
The higher caste Indians hate darker skinned Indians and thus many in the upper caste are insecure of their own brownness.
The short woman in my office give the lots of reasons of only dating tall men
Few more: i don't want short kids Need someone to get high stuff Dwarves ( in reference to blokes under 6 feet) are not hot Need someone to protect me
Its all steps from insecurities
That's all insane. Firstly imagine calling the average man of every country but the Netherlands a dwarf. But also as a woman who's nearly 6' short women hurt my back. I still date them because I don't really consider height a major concern in partners. Also I've hidden behind multiple short exes. One is 5'2" and built like a bear with an attitude of pure willingness to do violence for loved ones.
Sigh, but yeah I've noticed a lot of short women are insecure about their heights as well. And it's weird because many of us tall women are also insecure about ours. I have to try not to loom over other women (and sometimes over men). When I wear heels (which is usually formal events) I stick out like a sore thumb even more. Back on reddit the tallgirls community was really helpful to find other women experiencing the same awkwardness.
