Heightism is what is called a “socially acceptable discrimination”. It’s a double standard.
It’s common for both egotistical tall guys and self entitled tall women to always poke fun at shorter people yet nobody cares. Whenever a shorter person outperforms a taller person in any field, it’s quite common for tall folks to make all sorts of excuses because they find it hard to accept that a shorter person outperformed them.
heightism isn’t just ignorance, it’s also blatant stupidity all because heightists want to believe all the romanticized myths regarding tall stature.

I can honestly say that the only short-man bias I've ever seen is the affliction of napoleon syndrome only in some short men. I assure it's real, every group of guys has met the short guy with all the behaviors, but even still - they are a minority. I just haven't seen women treating short men any differently, nor any hatred of tall women by short men.. I don't think that many people care enough to have any bias.

It's much easier to hurt her feelings than for her to hurt mine because most women, from what I've seen, are insecure about everything in regards to their appearance.
Height is such an important factor to them but if men say that those girls are too fat, they are furious or straight up sad, believing that shouldn't matter.I find it juvenile and and indicator that that is not a person I’d be interested in
