Tall women are less likely to fit into the traditional image of femininity. 

It’s common for us to be called masculine because of our height and naturally larger features, since being tall and bigger are things associated with masculinity. And then on top of that, it’s a bit of a struggle to physically present ourselves in a feminine way, meaning when clothes like dresses, shoes, or even skirts aren’t available in our size or length. But that’s a topic for a different day. 

But a common thing that we hear in the tall girly community, whether or not they like their height, is that they want to be or feel smaller. Some outright say that they wish that they were shorter. Others say that they want to feel small and petite and protected next to their male partners. Either way, it all ties back to wanting to feel or be smaller. 

In today’s episode, we’re talking about the obsession with being smaller, how it ties into femininity, and why some tall women desire to be smaller when really, they desire to feel feminine. Tune in for more!
