After my son’s latest checkup with the pediatrician I’m some combo of floored & amused by how much stock even doctors put in boys realizing their dreams by growing to 6 feet.
The doctor was completely earnest when she said she hopes my son “makes it” and the both knew what she meant!
Is this the equivalent of hoping girls never pass 115 lbs or something?
Is the 6-foot+ ideal for men oppressive?

And all the dating apps and daters who fully despise & penalize men for lying about their height by an inch or two?
Lots of convo about pronouns and sexual ID and drugs and cultural sensitivities and emotional life and then blammo dear God don’t fall short of that 6 foot mark!!!!
Real sentencr in a man’s memoir I read recently:
“In conversations about medicine, he had the advantage of height.”
?????

Jeez, many replies saying, yep, that’s the way it is. The magic height mark that’s available to very few humans affords a man every advantage in life, and we can never change that. 🤷🏼♀️
