I'm sure the topics discussed in this article have been discussed here before, but I honestly found that this article was a decent and fair summary of heightism. Of course, the related topics of inceldom and lookism are not mentioned in it, and on those topics of course Wikipedia is very biased and discriminatory against us (fuck them for that), but it I think it is a good thing that at least heightism is recognized in some places now. And thankfully most of this is back up by real article and studies conducted by academics.
Some of the useful stuff it mentions is how men who are shorter were found to be more prone to suicidal tendencies or suicide attempts than taller men. Also mentioned are the obvious things such as more taller men being married and having more kids, and taller men being perceived as more attractive. Interestingly, a wage gap is mentioned too, where taller men are more likely to receive higher wages than shorter men. Taller men were also seen to be "less anxious" about their social rivals than shorter men were.
