And then I remember.... you not only live on the other side of the pond, you also live on the other side of the gender gap, and can, as such, mostly only speak for yourself.
not strictly true. being 5ft 4 was a massive disadvantage for me at school and some people still try and take advantage of it now (but since then ive learned how to deal with those people), and im male
It was about gender actually.
About John claiming that being a woman and a professional isn't posing some... challenges that men often doesn't face.
But other than that you are right.
Being short is a pain in the ass.
Glad I moved to Belgium where it seem as if I am slightly above average height, in contrast to Denmark where I'm more or less a runt with my 5ft 6.
(everyone else I know there are somewhere between 6ft and 6ft 7.)
ah yes, anyone who thinks females no longer get a harder time in buisness is delusional or lucky to be in a country where that bias has dissapeard.
oh believe me i know, when your male and your height is shorter than the average female height of your country which is obviously shorter than the average male height it does wonders to your life
strange isnt it that height is also a bias, so is beauty, not just racism and gender.
