      To me, it reads as someone humblebragging (saying they are tall and which causes them to gain attention at the protests for women’s rights they frequent). The phone owner is saying they don’t want engage with the sender anymore because they seem phony and bragadocious.

        I’ve found that while shorter people often wish to be taller, tall women actually hate being made aware of their height. Even if it’s framed positively / appreciatively.

        I think they’re aware that some people (idiots) say it makes you less feminine, usually because of those people’s insecurities.

          As a tall man grown up in an area with predominantly short people, I can tell you, as teenager, I desired countless times of being less tall.

          I dated tall women (>185cm) from US and Europe. They fucking hate it.

          I seriously doubt they were bragging in this message

          Tall women are also often fetishized. There are lots of dudes who will try to date women simply because they’re tall. And that usually coincides with lots of “please step on me” types of DMs. That shit is exhausting, especially if you’re not a dom. It’s also a constant reminder that people want to date you purely because of how you look, the same way Asian women deal with dudes who have yellow fever.

    I would think being tall would help when you’re protesting women’s rights—more people can see your neck beard.

      That’s not how grammar works your joke is incorrect, you clearly know it is based on your own word order, and therefore it’s not funny and you’re going to hell

        No, that’s not how humor works. The person telling the joke never knows the comedic mechanism they’re employing, that’s why it’s funny.

        So, riposte and reverso! You are the one to be Hellbound!
