I have a pretty vicious blackpill anecdote from work earlier today.
A customer walked up to one of my supervisors to ask where he could make a return on an item, and she pointed and told him to "Talk to the boy in the blue vest down there." referring to another front end supervisor at the store who is like 5'4". He said "Who?" and she repeated, "That boy in the blue vest."
Now this is a guy who is in his late 20s, and older than her, so I assumed maybe this was some kind of in-joke between the two of them, so I asked her why she kept calling him "boy".
Her response? "Because he's short as fuck, I don't want him looking all around trying to find a grown man".
I have to say, at that moment I suddenly understood and sympathized completely with manlets. Lately i've been running into situations like this where I see people on here complain about them all the time, but because I never personally encountered stuff like this IRL I thought maybe they're just exaggerating or it's just not something you would notice blatantly. But nah, manlets being seen as less than men is totally legit. Pretty fucked up IMO.
