Do you have a special small manlet phone for your small manlet hands?

I don't know why you attempt to associate my 5'8" height with the size of any other part of my body

5'8"?

Manlet confirmed.

Manlet confirmed.

We've been over this. I'm short. Not a manlet. 5'8" is within 1 sigma on a standard deviation curve with an average American male at 5' 9.3"

5'9.3" is average?

American males are on average manlets.

At least I'm not a Queens fan and a manlet.

@HockeyBjj ITT

Btw, @HockeyBjj I'm 5'11. I never felt short in my life until law school, where for some reason a bunch of my female classmates were very tall. Just in our law journal, which was about 30 people, there were four girls 5'11 or taller.

Did you ever date a girl taller than you?

Women do not have equal rights in Japan no matter what people say. Women there have genuine cause to agitate for change.

What rights don't they have in Japan? Not that I am disagreeing since I just made the case that they have legitimate grievances, just curious as to your perspective.

The dress codes for offices can be real limiting. Requiring skirts, heels of a minimum height, make up and stuff like that.

Yeah I have heard of that, mentioned it in an earlier post. But that's a private dress code in a private office, not a difference in rights. I am not dismissing the grievance, just because it emerges from the private sector does not mean its not legitimate. But what right is being deprived here? The right to not wear heels and make up?

I'm not entirely sure.

I know my mom worked in a private Japanese office and the expectation from employers that you be there basically 12 hours a day was around even back then. Maybe has to do with that and someone thinking employers come down harder on women that don't keep up with that?

Right but that's still a grievance related to a private employer, not a right being deprived by the legal regime itself.

Aren’t you the only person to have brought up a “legal regime?” Why wouldn’t cultural chauvinism be a legitimate gripe even it wasn’t codified by law?

Fyi, there are legal limits on what a private US company can require a woman worker wear. Private companies aren't allowed to require women dress up more than men for the hell of it.

I felt way shorter in highschool than I did in college or now. My two best friends I did everything with were 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 2. The girls at our highschool were all super tall. 5'10 and 6 foot was common. I actually didn't realize til way later than most that on average guys were taller than girls. Growing up, thought the genders were the same height. Killer women's basketball and volleyball teams at my highschool.

Dated a girl taller than me once in college, but she was 5'9" so not like a stark difference. Just some jokes that she now had the perfect excuse to not have to wear heals to things.

Married to a 5'1" girl so that worked itself out nicely haha. Her best friend is a 5 foot 10 model, so I get short jokes on occasion still from the friend group.

There are now but when my folks met it was like the early 80s so not sure how much may have changed. Plus it was a company that was mostly based in Japan so I would wager they followed the "home country" standards more than the US ones for that stuff.

That's 11 1/2 Rogans if I'm not mistaken. I'll accept it.
