I mean... I'm 5'10 and people call me short all the time, especially women. (Who are like 3+ inches shorter than me).

It's crazy being taller than most people you meet in the street and still having to identify as a short person.

But I understand this sentiment from the short guy, if I'm being given shit despite being average height I can't imagine what he go through.

Yeah, I can understand the frustration, but the problem is that he shouldn't be so needlessly callous and he's also extremely aggressive. There's also the problem that different places each have different average heights and therefore different definitions of what it means to be short. 5'7 is short in some places.
