Why Aren't Tall Women Allowed to Express Their Emotions? | The Aggressive Tall Woman Stereotype

from A Tall Girl's Podcast · host India

We all know that height affects how we’re perceived. As tall women, we’re often seen as strong, dominant, and assertive, which I argue can be positive. People would be more likely to respect us and take us more seriously. It could even have a positive impact on our careers. While that’s great and all, there’s almost this imaginary fine line where one “slip up” can have us cross it, and the positive viewpoints disappear. When we get annoyed or stand up for ourselves, we’re being aggressive or intimidating. When we get vulnerable and feel sad or down, people around us are less likely to take care of us. When we voice wanting to be left alone or voice our frustration, people take that as a challenge and invitation to argue or even worse, fight. In today's episode, we’re going to discuss how having height as a tall woman affects people’s perceptions of us, and because of that, we, to a certain degree, have to suppress our emotions to avoid a negative reaction.
