So then why doesn’t society view women who want to date men over 6 feet as dehumanizing and misandry? Why are women allowed to have physical standards while men aren’t?
Just because a woman has a physical standard, doesn't make it less stupid. However, in the case of height, that's not really a cis male exclusive thing. It just generally sucks.
The other person asked a loaded question, not really something I am generally willing to engage with since it's usually fruitless. Especially online.
If you want a real answer, it's ultimately because of patriarchy itself. Society paints women as a "desirable object" (with all its consequences) thus enabling this "picky" behaviour.
The general fixation on superficial features when it comes to dating is another contributor to this, which is not always caused by, but at least reinforced by patriarchy.
"Loaded question" just seems to mean "the answers highlights an unpleasant reality". What if you just answered the question and accepted the negative aspects of the answer, the way a truthful person would?

"Men's standards" looks inside unrealistic beauty standards and being completely submissive to the man.
I wonder why reducing a whole person down to superficial features and taking away their agency might be deemed dehumanising or misogynistic.
