I was there, young one, back when the ancient scripts were written.
T'was the early 00's and I, as was fashionable at the time, used to use the information superhighway or "internet" as we call it now. Back then, a lot of men used to include "weight limits" on their dating profiles, catfishing being rather common back then. To counter this, a group of women started, and you'll laugh here, adding "height minimums" to their dating profiles to poke fun at such presumptuous men.
Well, as you can imagine, those young men were so very angry, especially when fat-shaming became socially unacceptable, whereas height jokes became the norm.
Witticisms aside - the whole "height" issue incels raise has its roots in feminist trolling, which was aimed as a counter to weight shaming.
Oh that's funny. Especially as weight maximums also tend to create height maximums
Rather - honestly when you accept that incels are just a counter-counter-culture (double counter intended) you can see the humour in it.
I just mean healthy tall women weigh more. A 6' woman in decent shape weighs enough that were she 5'4" she'd be chubby
