Ep. 258: So…People Think Tall Women Are Being Dramatic? | How Gender Norms Shape the Tall Woman Experience

We are BACKKKKKK with another episode of A Tall Girl’s Podcast! So glad you’re here :) Before I get into this episode, I do wanna say, make sure you’re following me on my socials @atallgirlspodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and Pinterest so that you can stay up to date on all of the latest podcast episodes and catch a glimpse of my everyday life. Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are! 

As tall folks, we’re often told that we’re lucky to be tall. 

“You’re so lucky to be tall.” 

“You should be grateful for your height.” 

“I would do or give anything to be as tall as you.” 

And listen, I get it, okay. There are so many amazing things that come with being tall, like having a commanding presence, seeing over crowds, maybe even having a higher earning potential. Apparently, we may be smarter, and the list goes on and on. 

However, as with anything, there are also disadvantages. Some are so bad that they may negatively affect our health, safety, and the way we view ourselves and our bodies. And sometimes we take these experiences to the Internet, sharing them in hopes of finding some sort of solidarity. And sometimes, we’re met with the opposite, saying that we should stop complaining, what we’re saying is dumb, or just straight up saying it’s not that serious. 

In today’s episode, we’re gonna talk about this, why this happens, and how some of this comes from other tall women. Tune in for more! 

Thank you so so much for tuning in to the episode; I really appreciate it, and I appreciate you.
