For a girl!

Let it be known that despite popular opinion I am not that short......for a girl. My height has been the point of much mirth and deridement over the past few years, usually by the opposite gender. Yes, I am shorter than most males but this is not unnatural at all and really not that funny. In fact it is the most natural thing and shows how incredibly normal my height is. As we learn in school humans are sexually dimorphic meaning one gender, in our case males, are generally physically larger than the other, females. Many women seem to attract ridicule from men regarding their height but really it's like teasing someone for having two arms or using their legs to walk. Sexual dimorphism does not mean men are better than women because they are usually larger and stronger. Did you know that women produce antibodies faster than men meaning we are less likely to catch infectious dieseases and will be able to get rid of them quicker! So ladies next time some smart Alec decides to make a quip about how you are "vertically challenged" smile to yourself and remember that in a few years when there is some terrible pandemic spreading throughout the world like something out of an 80s apocalyptic horror movie you shall be far more likely to be one of the few survivors than he will
