“people have stereotypes about short, tiny-boned, thin woman. They are wrongly seen a child-like, inexperienced, weak, fragile, in need of protection, etc. This impacts how people judge petite women as a whole.”

Yes, I understand that. I have experienced that personally. But that’s not what she was talking about. She…

Welp, maybe I’m a moron then. Or maybe she’s connecting two things without explaining that connection clearly, or even acknowledging that it’s problematic in any way. I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one who was at first confused by that statement.

But she wasn’t talking about fragility. She was talking about being perceived as “crazy.”

I get it too; I’m a smaller woman, and I do think that sometimes makes people not take me seriously, or think I’m more “fragile” than other people. But I’ve never had someone treat me like I’m “crazy” simply because I’m short and…

But she wasn’t talking about being taken seriously or not, she was talking about being perceived as “crazy.” I just didn’t understand the connection she was making between “petite” and “crazy.”

I just think it’s strange that she managed to shoehorn a comment about how adorably tiny she is in a subject that’s unrelated unless you explain what you just explained.

That’s...kind of exactly what I was hoping she wasn’t getting at :(

But with “craziness”? She seems to be saying her interview with Diane Sawyer plus her small size = people think she’s crazy. What?

“and I talked about my experiences with anxiety and depression when I was that age. And I think by doing that, maybe coupled with my physical size, there’s this ‘crazy’ thing.”

If I recall, that judge recognized him, and then pretty much just used that to shame him. She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that, even though they were both bright kids and had similar access to a decent education, they ended up in very, very different places (I’m sure it had absolutely nothing to do with…

“For homeopathy, just because something is untested doesn’t mean it’s safe. By the same token, being “tested” and “reviewed” by agencies tied to big pharma and the chemical industry is also problematic. There’s a lot of snake-oil in this system. We need research and licensing boards that are protected from conflicts…

The whole thing is a leftover from colonialism. Because colonials are from cold places, we have a business attire that works in cold climates. There’s nothing more ridiculous than wearing a suit with a jacket in the summer in India for example, or Texas for that matter.

Jeans are for children, or adults doing manual labor.

Creepy. His daughter also doesn’t have a plate in front of her. Guess she’s having a liquid lunch—she did finish 2 beers already.

I laughed way too hard and way too long at this.
