    “I’ve never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he’s, like, 4 feet 10 inches. And he looks like he is angry about the fact that he’s 4 feet 10 inches,” the congresswoman said in an Instagram livestream.

    It’s not that he’s short, it’s just he exudes the lack of confidence and toxic masculinity that short guys tend to latch onto because of their insecurities.

    Maybe it’s not his height, but there is something about Stephen Miller that makes him understand he is less than the average man, and he is very very angry that he doesn’t measure up

      Honestly, maybe is just my experience of being and living among well adjusted short folk, but it doesn’t seem to be the extreme shorties who have the insecurity issues. We either DGAF or revel in it. It’s the guys on the left side of the meaty chunk of the bell curve who have the “i’m oNlY 5’8” i’lL NeVeR WiN At sPoRtS Or gEt a hOt gIrLfRiEnD” complex. Very mid energy, literally.

      Edit: typos

        Oh yeah, it’s a square/rectangle thing.

        Load of insecure men blame it on being short, even if they’re not really that short.

        But loads of short guys have more than enough confidence, which shows that it’s not a causation even if it’s a correlation.

        Their problem isn’t their height, it’s just an immutable charecteristic they blame their issues on, as rationale for never trying to fix what they can.

        Lol, I’m huge but I played rugby so we also had guys that were like 5’5 110lbs on the same college team. And those short dudes almost always pulled more women than average. Even tho they were hanging out with guys a literal foot taller. Like, no attempt to disguise they were very short

        If someone thinks being short means you can’t play sports, they just don’t know anything about sports, and the same for pulling women.
