Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are!
Let’s start this episode with a scenario.
You’re in school (whatever grade you want: middle school, high school, college, grad school even) and your teacher says she needs help carrying a bunch of textbooks from one classroom to the other. She doesn’t even let people volunteer; she just starts calling on people. As she is choosing people, she chooses you to help with these textbooks.
When you get to the room, you notice that out of all the students chosen, you’re the only girl in the group, as the rest are boys. Anyways, she starts giving textbooks to the students, and when she hands you four, she says “nice and strong” and smiles at you.
As you’re walking to the next classroom with these (very heavy) textbooks, you wonder, “Why am I the only girl where there are other boys in the class she could have chosen?”
Welp, we’ll be discussing the potential reason for this in today’s episode. Oh, and by the way, this is a true story. It happened to me in the 7th grade, and for context, I was the tallest girl in my grade.
So, we’re going to discuss the ‘strong stereotype’ associated with tall women, and trust me, it goes way deeper than carrying heavy textbooks. Tune in to the full episode for more!
