It's crazy how much height subconsciously influences our opinions of each other. I'm tall enough that most men don't look down at me, and I'm widely respected professionally. Men listen when i talk in meetings, and it's very easy to sell my ideas to people. My shorter coworkers who are more talented than i am struggle to gain respect.
My ex is 5'2" and i have very strong feelings of cute aggression towards her, and have to consciously remind myself to consider her opinions sometimes. It doesn't help that she acted like a child a lot during our relationship ๐
Yeah, it does suck. I get the same benefits as you, and my wife of the same height gets ignored to the point where I have to go to Dr's appointments with her so they actually listen to her.
I also have to keep a close check on being upset about anything, because I'm intimidating just by existing, let alone upset.

I had to do this with my ex too ๐ we're both women but men listen to me. My ex is a combat veteran with ptsd, and it can make her seem unstable, even though she's incredibly sharp and there's no one I'd rather have with me in an emergency.
