Will Tall Women Ever Be Seen As Feminine? | How Society Forces Us To Prove Our Femininity

Today, well last night honestly, was a very sad day for many of us lol. TikTok officially went black. It was supposed to go black on Sunday January 19, 2025 (when I’m recording this) but it left the premises literally the night before lol. We thought we had time to download everything that night but nope we don’t.

UPDATE: The app came back lol. The president-elect saved it. There are actually loads of problems with the app now though soooooo we’ll see how that goes :////

Anyways, onto today’s episode. Today we are talking about the masculine stereotype that tall women often face and how they try to overcompensate that by being hyperfeminine. Ok ok lol I know that was a lot to take in but I promise it’ll make more sense as we get more into the episode.

This was actually inspired by a Reddit post by a fellow tall girl. She claims that people have jokingly called her a man. She’s tall, yes, but she also has an androgynous style, likes gaming and cars, and so forth. Though those are just part of who she is, she’s felt the need to overcompensate with femininity. Sounds like something that happens to most of us, or at least to me for sure.

I’ve talked various times on this podcast about how tall women are often seen as masculine. Why? Because height = masculinity. The taller a person is, the more likely someone will see them as masculine. Nothing new here.

However, not all of us want to be perceived that way right? Because that does affect not only the way people treat us but also the people who choose to be around us, the people we attract. So some of us want to be perceived as feminine and feel the need to display hyperfeminine characteristics and behaviors.

What do these behaviors and characteristics look like in tall women? Tune in to the full episode to find out!
