Tall women struggle with quite a few things because of our height. 

For starters, clothes. For the most part, they’re fairly short on us, or they fit awkwardly. We struggle with people’s comments about our height and body. We also struggle with how we see ourselves and with our own insecurities. However, one struggle is kinda obvious but often overlooked: posture.

Between hunching over our laptops all...

Tall women get called a lot of things. 

Some are good like Amazon or Amazonian (depending on the context), stallion (also depending on the context), and people compare us to models and goddesses. 

And of course, we also get called some pretty bad things. 

We have Sasquatch, Big Foot, bean pole, string bean, skyscraper, Mommy Long Legs, this is bringing back some really bad memories, so I’m ...

If you’re a tall girly, you know how difficult it is to find tall clothing. 

I mean, how many of us have scoured the Internet for hours, even days on end, trying to find places, in-store or online, that carry clothing for our long limbs? And sometimes, we find places that provide those, or we think they provide those, only to purchase items that never actually reach our wrists or ankles. 

And these fru...

Beauty standards are constantly changing, especially for women. 

That’s why you can’t chase them unless you wanna run forever. But what we consider beautiful today isn’t necessarily what people considered beautiful 50 years ago, 20 years ago, or even 5 years ago. Different body types and shapes, hairstyles and colors, eye shapes and colors, skin tones – those have gone in and out of style, and so...

We’re often told that it’s important to stay active and exercise for our health, especially as women. 

It’s important for bone strength, mental clarity, and overall health and wellness. However, as a tall woman, exercise can be a bit difficult. Because of our longer limbs and often because we carry more weight, a lot of the movements we do feel awkward, machines at the gym are a bit harder to work with...

Shopping for clothes as a tall girly is a nightmare. 

We’ve been over this, honestly, who knows how many times. We go in-store, and we can’t find much in our length or size. There’s tall-washing in online shops where brands say that they sell tall sizes or hint that they sell tall sizes when they really don’t.  There are also tall options that really only fit the short girlies (5’9 - 6...

Tall women have had their struggles with the fashion industry for the past few decades. 

And this honestly comes as a bit of a shock since models are tall, whether walking down the runway IRL or appearing in photos on some of our favorite clothing sites. Well, these models are often short tall, but that’s an episode for a different day. But it’s not uncommon for a tall girly to go into a store and not be abl...

Tall women are less likely to fit into the traditional image of femininity. 

It’s common for us to be called masculine because of our height and naturally larger features, since being tall and bigger are things associated with masculinity. And then on top of that, it’s a bit of a struggle to physically present ourselves in a feminine way, meaning when clothes like dresses, shoes, or even skirts aren’t ...

For many of us, being tall as a woman was frowned upon for much of our lives. 

Growing up, our peers would say the most negative things about our height, calling us ‘big’ and making horrible jokes about our height. If we have a crush on a guy, he’d probably tell us that we’re ‘too tall’. Family members would make comments about our bodies, often comparing us to boys.

And this w...

There are people who have a problem with tall women. 

And we’ve spoken about this in quite a few episodes, whether they’ve shown it through transphobic comments, microaggressions, or even passive-aggressive questions. And if you’re a tall girly tuning in to this right now, I’m sure you can understand. 

It happens when strangers give you looks. Or when coworkers treat you differently f...

Being tall often comes with a bunch of stereotypes. 

Athlete, model, masculine, intimidating, aggressive, authoritative, the list goes on and on. 
And there are other physical characteristics that, when combined with height and being tall, can kind of double down on these stereotypes. 

Like being tall and thin, for example, people like to associate that with being a model. Being tall and plus-sized m...

Being a tall woman is definitely a unique experience. 

Oftentimes, when we enter a room, we’re the first person people see, and they stare, whether they’re in awe of our physical presence or wondering how a woman could even be that tall. Extremely brave strangers come up to us and ask us questions and make comments about our height. 

And honestly, sometimes these strangers don’t even come u...

As tall women, we’re used to being bullied because of our height. 

Maybe growing up, our classmates would ask “How’s the weather up there?” or call us things like jolly green giant or ‘67’ (I’m really not gonna get over that last one). 

Little kids who are frightened by our towering presence call us monsters. Old people wonder how we’re gonna find a husband wit...

We all know that height affects how we’re perceived. 

As tall women, we’re often seen as strong, dominant, and assertive, which I argue can be positive. People would be more likely to respect us and take us more seriously. It could even have a positive impact on our careers. 

While that’s great and all, there’s almost this imaginary fine line where one “slip up” can have u...

Tall women have a very interesting relationship with heels. 

Some tall women love a good heel, whether it’s your standard 1-2 inch heel or a full-on 6-7 inch platform. And while yes, it may not be the most practical on a night out, there are videos of tall women wearing these extremely high heels. 

However, there are tall women who choose not to wear them. Some argue that they can be uncomfortable, whi...

Let’s start this episode with a scenario. 

You’re in school (whatever grade you want: middle school, high school, college, grad school even) and your teacher says she needs help carrying a bunch of textbooks from one classroom to the other. She doesn’t even let people volunteer; she just starts calling on people. As she is choosing people, she chooses you to help with these textbooks.

We all scroll on social media and come across hundreds and hundreds of pieces of content throughout the week. 

Some funny, some relatable, and some harmful. 

And today, we’re talking about a harmful piece of content.

I’ve spoken quite a few times on this podcast about how tall women are masculinized. 

It can look like people saying they feel “so small” around you. Always asking you to carry the heavy stuff because you’re “big and strong”. Being told you’re intimidating or scary. Misgendering even. 

There are many examples of this actually happening to us, but not really the other...

Trying to find clothes as a tall woman is already a struggle. Mainly because it’s hard to find options, especially in-store options, that fit our long limbs. 

So what do we do? 

We take our struggles to the Internet.
