Not sure where you’re going with this. The author is a woman. It’s sort of missing the point of an article claiming heightism is culturally based to ask products of that culture what they think as though it’s a rebuttal.
- entropi 4y agoThe author is a single person. The parent comment implies a large portion of the women would prefer taller mates. The author being woman is not at odds with this claim.

- marcus0x62 4y agoThe author refers to herself in the article as being married.
- sokoloff 4y agoThey meant single as in “count of 1” not “romantically unattached”.
- bedhead 4y agoIt is a fact that a disproportionate amount of women prefer men to be six feet or taller but only like 15% of men are that height. All of this is just people unhappy about biology because it creates winners and losers. Losers think they'll have an easier time changing biology than themselves or simply readjusting their expectations. (Never mind the insanity of this article saying it will help save the planet...wild how the NYT now prints stuff 10x crazier than something like Breitbart ever did, and no one cares)

- Der_Einzige 4y agoAlso, the author has a husband who is half a foot taller than them Women overwhelmingly do not like men who are shorter than them. At least not in any romantic capacity. Telling short men this isn't true is gaslighting them hardcore.
- havelhovel 4y agoBut her husband is short! She’s just shorter. Most women are shorter than most men. No one is being gas lit. This article isn’t asking women to find men who are shorter than them. It’s just saying that height offers no real advantages in the present day.
