"You wouldn't believe how insecure a lot of short people are. Mention height anywhere and they come out of the woodwork to enlighten you about heightism. Check out /r/short if any doubts remain."
You then have all the short guys looking for a pat on the head by not rocking the boat.
Of course, when people say "mention height," they usually mean "insult short men." Phrasing it the former way is sugarcoating things and making it seem like short people are the problem. Unless this now counts as merely "mentioning" height: https://imgur.com/a/8TJan.
I also guarantee any short person who disagrees with the quote at the top of this post will be met with, "See, you're just proving me right!" (this tactic is called kafkatrapping). On the other hand, discussions about height are considered legitimate when a tall person starts them. How about this thread from a 6'2 guy, or this article written by someone who's 6'4? 6'8 economist John Kenneth Galbraith once said the bias against shortness is one of society's most blatant and forgiven prejudices. Did he say this because he's insecure about being short? No, he said that because it's a fact, and stating facts isn't a sign of insecurity.
This is all basically a way to silence any short person who dares to question why height prejudice is still so widely accepted, especially in today's politically correct society. Simply asking a woman her weight is considered taboo, yet everybody can talk about a man's height however one wishes. Nothing screams insecurity like pointing out double standards, aka using logic. Don't want to be called insecure? Then let us hypocritically discriminate against you in peace. It'd be like someone claiming I'm insecure about my race because I dislike racism, which needless to say doesn't make any sense.
