Topic: Tall privilege is...

...not having children point to you in public and ask their parents:

"Is that a child or a grown-up?"

"Grown-up."

"Why is it so small?"

I had a supervisor once who was so small he actually shopped in the kids section.

That is why when you were picking your stats at the character select screen, you should have put more points into height. It is really your own fault.

tall means standing out and being noticed by every idiot. short means being able to blend in. shut up.

Not having to get down on your hands and knees to access low shelves, not having the curled-over tops of chain-link fence present an eye hazard while walking down the street, fitting into seating on airplanes, buses, etc.

I seriously don't see height in terms of privilege but as a grouping of advantages and disadvantages.

I was able to fit in my sister's suitcase. Granted, it was a big suitcase. But I was able to fit in a god damn suitcase.

I feel like privilege is more about seeing advantages rather than disadvantages and trade-offs.

Tall privilege is not in buying pants. Seriously, "big and tall" shops are only big and tall... not big and/or tall. If you have a 36+ inseam, then they assume your waist is somewhere between 45 and 60. (These are US measurements in inches BTW) I'm wearing a 30 waist right now and it's still falling off me every time I stand up without a belt. So if anyone finds a "You look like a fucking scarecrow" store, please message me.

Being tall means girls can wear their heels when they are with you. Short guys just embarrass them into wearing flats when they get dressed up.
