You know what would make me forgive GQ for this? If they shot an identical version with Taylor Kitsch straddling Colin Ferrell.

Yes, but how do you know if someone is straight or not? Plenty of my friends don’t know I’m queer because it’s either never come up or I’ve felt it’s none of their business. I guess I’m more just thinking of the amount of women who may not feel comfortable coming out...possibly ever, and this is their safe way to…

I’m torn because while I agree with this...in fact I was pretty pissed that I’ve had friends completely erase my bisexuality and make it seem like any time I expressed my interest in women that I was doing it for attention....and now they all seem to be jumping on the “omg look at me questioning my sexuality lolol”…

Clover is black. I don’t know about her height so I wouldn’t be able to make such an equivalent point. This is a forum for women and this is a show about women who feel they face struggle because of something about their appearance over which they have no control. The historical struggle for tall women in no way…

This goes a little beyond “being tall.” Even a man 6’9” is a striking phenomenon — being a woman that tall makes you feel freakish because people constantly remind you of it. I am not that tall (I’m a shade over 5’9”) but with several siblings over six feet, I can tell you that life is filled with randoms on the…

I don’t get the snark about “tall people problems”. I’ve been 5’10” since I was in 7th grade and I am pretty self conscious about my height, even still, at 30. I can only imagine what it would be like being 6’1” or taller as a 16 year old girl. My mother is 6’0” and I was super nervous I would be too. Her sisters are…

6’9” is really really fucking tall for a woman.

I mean, as a fat girl, I totally sympathize. 6’9 is tall by anyone’s standards. When you are not a “normal” size, no one lets that slip by you. And when you literally don’t fit somewhere, it’s embarrassing.

How about you edit your article

I know a woman who is 6’3” and over the course of a 4/5 day destination wedding with her, I saw multiple times how strangers would come up to her to comment on her height (which she clearly did not enjoy). One morning she also said she’d just been at breakfast and had to spend the whole time listening to the couple at…

I’m 6’1” and I can somewhat sympathize. Some people are really intimidated by me, and if I wasn’t also black I wouldn’t understand why so many women are intimidated. The dudes who are afraid usually aren’t when I start talking (I don’t have a deep voice by any means).

Thanks, DM me and I’ll give you my address so you can forward the extra $1,000 for each way every time I fly.

I have to agree with the other commenters, why the snark against tall women? As though they are not marginalized enough? Or are you just incapable of sympathizing with anyone’s problems that aren’t also yours?

My mom is over 6 feet tall, very broad-shouldered and just sort of big all over, and STILL has so many food/appearance issues for failing at being dainty and feminine, and she’s 65.

I feel the same way on airplanes but I think the annoyed stares are mostly due to my tentacles.

I’m 5’9 and I got bullied for it so much at school that I developed a slouch that has never really gone away. I’ve always felt unfeminine as a result because I am not dainty and petite. And guys can be super fucking weird about women who are taller than them. My ex didn’t like the fact that I was one whole inch taller…

100 percent. I love being a “giant” but it was super difficult growing up like that and there is still a lot of shit we have to deal with being larger than the average woman. Don’t appreciate the snark either.

I don’t understand the snark (“gripe” “tall people problems”). Being a tall woman in a society that idealizes female daintiness, portrays women who are taller than men as threats and ineligible for romantic relationships, and even cautions us not to take up too much physical space can be emotionally taxing. I’m only…

Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall. This is the largest auto that I could afford. Should I, therefore, be made the subject of fun?

I'm only 5'10'' and I feel her 100% on the plane sitch. There is no single feeling as terrible as sitting in a seat where the distance between the back of your seat and the back of the seat in front of you is shorter than the length of your thighbone. That constant pressure on the knees is just so uncomfortable.
