13. Makes sense to me, but....
what you are referring to is more about working harder to achieve the same things that taller people found easier to achieve. Totally understandable - it is what it is. And you work with what you've got.

I'm talking more about attitudes and behavior. I'm wondering if there is any truth to the concept of the power struggle among humans, based on height and stature.

Thanks for posting! :hi:
