Short people got , no money

There is a wage gap , bigger than the gender wage gap, between the ten percent tallest and the ten percent shortest .

I am afraid there is an attractiveness gap as well.

There is even a danger gap , as smaller people get attacked with violence more often than larger people.

When the job is equal , the social problems might still not be ,ugly, small, female, black policewomen have a stack of disadvantages at the same pay as a tall  ,handsome, male  ,white policeman.

Then the tall , handsome, male , white policeman with hardly any awareness of his advantage has better promotion potential not just because of his pale stature and pleasing visage, but because his work history has less trouble in it.


So...

Would it be fair to correct pay with a matrix of advantages given to the disadvantaged?

Especially for jobs like police work where the attitude of the public is of such strong effect.

James Madison weighed in at 122 lbs. and stood 5'4" tall.
I doubt that he would have any chance of being elected in 2016.

You mean this effect is actually worse now than then?

I bet when James Madison stood next to George Washington it looked like Mutt and Jeff.

How did he overcome this disadvantage ?

I mean that in the early 1800's, there were no photographs and most Americans did not know that Madison was a shrimp.
Washington was bald, but wore a wig, so this was also not the PR problem that it might be now.

I though Americans in the past were generally shorter preindustrial due to diet. I'm the tallest in my generation but the kids after me the majority pass 6 ft.

Tall attractive people gets more jobs.....Shocker!!!

Americans have been better fed than most since away back.

The largest people on this planet are the Dutch (and their mostly Catholic close relatives, the Flemish).

So the Watusi will rule!

This has not happened in Kenya, where most of them live.
The Tutsis had a hard time hanging on in Rwanda as well.
Perhaps Kenyans  and Burundians are less impressed with height.

   Are we speaking of human traits , or are these artifacts of our culture?

it's likely something we developed through time. As kids get well fed they get taller and healthier than the parent and then we associate height with attraction as time goes on.

But short women are not exactly losing dates though. Men are alot more disadvantaged in this

But short women are not exactly losing dates though. Men are a lot more disadvantaged in this

Women are submissive, men are dominant, so short women can be more like toys and playthings.

  That role requires her partner be tall , wealthy ,strong ect..

  So this woman isn't suffering the gender gap, she is exploiting the gender gap.

    A woman who would rather be her own success isn't .
    But will a tall and wealthy woman try to hook up with a short and underpaid guy?

i say no
I recall a millionaire dating site that talks about some of thier wealthy female clients are solely looking for even more wealthy men. the dificulty in explaining why wealthy men has no reason to go out with them. these women tend to be repulsed by going out with less wealthy men
