Voluntary Victims

<p>Do you hate discrimination the victim mentality identity politics and Buzzfeed? Do you like the thought of everyone having equal rights being treated equally taking accountability for their lives and seeing Buzzfeed destroyed? Then we should be best friends and this book is for you!</p><p>Heightism is the discrimination against short people (or more specifically short men) and is just as real as the other forms of discrimination you hear about daily such as racism sexism or homophobia. But because we’re not a protected class under the law it’s an injustice that society has been accepting of for far too long and one most people haven’t even heard of yet.</p><p>Short men face a wage gap that’s more severe than the gender wage gap. We’re also more at risk of mental health issues due to bullying and a lack of self-confidence which could lead to higher rates of suicide when compared to other demographics. If you want to see what real systemic discrimination looks like look no further than women’s unwillingness to date shorter men.</p><p>Yes I went there.</p><p>Are you triggered yet?</p><p>While the discrimination we endure is similar to that of those in the federally protected groups we shouldn’t resort to the same pointless mindsets or tactics such as the victim mentality or identity politics that are so prevalent in society today. Playing the victim based on the color of your skin or the genitals you possess can get you some much wanted sympathy from certain segments of society but it’s also one of the biggest factors helping keep our nation politically divided today.</p><p>Besides calling out racism or sexism where it simply doesn’t exist just as societal influencers like NFL player Michael Bennett or tennis superstar Serena Williams does cheapens real discrimination. Do you want short men to start calling out everyone for being a heightist when anything negative happens to them?</p><p>Don’t worry we won’t because we’re better than that.</p><p>This book while it introduces you to heightism is about rising above the victim mentality identity politics and the political pettiness and hatefulness that is getting worse year after year. It’s about changing yourself to change the world instead of demanding others to change to appease you. It’s about trying to find common ground by listening to others. It’s about realizing we’re all hypocrites albeit well-meaning hypocrites when it comes to fighting for what we believe in.</p><p>Also it’s about boycotting and destroying Buzzfeed.</p><p>I’m fortunate to quote some of my favorite influencers in the book such as Dave Rubin Cassie Jaye Condoleezza Rice Christina Hoff Sommers Ben Shapiro and Darryl Davis. They stand up for what they believe in and don’t back down when controversy arises yet they all remain respectful and keep an open mind to those they may disagree with. If you’re a fan of the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW) you’ll enjoy this book.</p><p>While you won’t agree with everything I say my hope is that we can all learn something from each other.</p><p>Act accordingly.</p>
