The Infantilization of Short Women Vs. The Adultification of Tall Women | Height = Sexualization

Has anyone ever mistaken you for being older because of your height? I know I have, but we’ll get into that a little later. But I’m sure when you were like 11 or 12 or even a teenager, strangers or even distant family members assumed you were 1, 2, or even 5 years older than you actually were. And then when you told them your actual age, they were surprised. I mean at that age, many of us have baby faces, so it’s sometimes like: Do I really look that old???But what if I told you that regardless of whether or not people know your age, except maybe parents or close friends, people may treat you a certain way and perceive you a certain way because of your height. And yes, this goes for both tall and short girls. So without further ado, let’s get into it! Today, we are talking about how height affects how we are treated. Fun fact: We are talking a little bit about the short girlies and how they’re treated based on their height and will delve into that same topic for tall women. I know this podcast is for tall women, but I think for the purposes of this episode, it’s helpful to explain how this applies to the short girlies and compare that to the tall girlies. Tune in to the full episode where I talk about the infantilization of short women, the adultification of tall girls, and how both affect how we are treated and sexualized! Buy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/atallgirlspodcast Subscribe to A Tall Girl's Newsletter: https://atallgirlspodcast.beehiiv.com/subscribeLet's stay connected: https://beacons.ai/atallgirlspodcast Leave a review and let me know how tall you are: https://atallgirlspodcast.com/reviews
