Ep. 271: "I Wish I Was Tall...Just Not As Tall As You" | When Being Tall Is Desirable, But We Get Bullied For It

We are BACKKKKKK with another episode of A Tall Girl’s Podcast!

Also, feel free to leave me a review below and let me know how tall you are! 

For many of us, being tall as a woman was frowned upon for much of our lives. 

Growing up, our peers would say the most negative things about our height, calling us ‘big’ and making horrible jokes about our height. If we have a crush on a guy, he’d probably tell us that we’re ‘too tall’. Family members would make comments about our bodies, often comparing us to boys.

And this would happen into “teenage-hood” and adulthood, right? 

People tell us we shouldn’t wear heels; male-centered short women call us masculine or compare body parts; even strangers question our gender because of our height. All of these experiences taught us that we should “hide”, that we should be smaller, and that being tall as a woman is a bad thing. 

If that’s the case, then it comes as a shock that there are people out there who say that they wish that they were tall. In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss this, why this shift occurs, and why some people still insult tall women because of their height. 

Tune in to the full episode for more!
