>Men would do well to build the rest of their personalities to stand themselves out rather than complain about something they have no control over.

Are you saying that he's missing out on lots of opportunities for self-improvement in the two minutes or less it took to write that comment? It's not wrong for people to complain about things that negatively affect them, and it's not mutually exclusive with trying to fix the problem. There is really no justification for the insistence that short men must not complain at all.

Yes, there’s this kind of hidden assumption that these men aren’t trying, that they haven’t done every obvious thing already.

If you are complaining about anything, then yes, that energy is better spent elsewhere.

This is a remarkably unhealthy attitude, and callous to boot.

? Seems like a generally healthy attitude to me, though that poster may be taking it to an extreme.
