‘Tall girls just aren’t that pretty.’

That’s how we’re made to feel or even what we’re told growing up by our crush, our peers, even family and friends, and strangers. And it’s not a one-and-done thing. In fact, it’s recurring. We hear and feel this often enough for us to wonder: 

Does everyone have the same viewpoint of tall women?

That we’re these ‘big’, awkward skyscrapers? 

Why? Why is this the case? 

I got 3 words for ya: 

Societal beauty standards. 

This is explained in a piece written in the Minnesota Daily by Sidney Clarke, who says, “height has been inextricably associated with a lack of conventional beauty.” 

Why is this the case? And how can we overcome this?

Well, that’s what today’s episode is all about! Tune in for more!
