Do Tall Women Need To Be Humbled? | Why People Behave Aggressively Toward Tall Women

Do any other tall girls remember almost always being paired up or grouped with the boys during gym class?

Let me get into this story.

So I was in the 9th or 10th grade, I think? We have different units where we do a different activity for a few weeks, then move on to the next activity for a few weeks, and so forth and so on. So at one point in time, it was the basketball unit. I’m sure you know where I’m going with this…

There were 3 levels: level 1, level 2, and level 3. Level 1 being for the beginners and level 3 being for advanced players. Now, the gym teacher did know that I played (past tense played) basketball about 2 or 3 years prior. Mind you, there were other girls on the basketball team in that gym class, but I was the only girl placed in the level 3 group…with all of the boys :///

Whatever, we were playing, and I’m on defense. This dude…I guess he was turning around, and he literally elbowed me in my face. And proceeds to keep playing like nothing happened. So naturally, I yelped and literally stood on the sideline, deleted. I heard the teacher screaming, “Why were you so aggressive? You wouldn’t do that to a girl, would you?”

And the guy was like “no”.

And the teacher was like, “Why would you do that? She’s a girl!”

And the guy was like, “Oh, I forgot. She’ll be fine.”

YOU FORGOT? I’LL BE FINE??

Anyways….

Albeit this was a small and hopefully unintentional thing, this is just one example of rough, aggressive behaviors that some people have toward tall women, and we’re gonna dive deeper into that today, so tune into the episode for more!
