Lots of talk of sexism. What about the case of Dennis Kucinich?

He's not what you expect in a man.

He's small. He's no "alpha male" that's for damned sure!

An elf? A leprachaun? A laughing stock? And why?

He's short. S-H-O-R-T.

All this fucking whining about sexism but few can see what men face on an individual basis in this society. If this isn't sexism, or short-ism, or whatever, then I don't know shit.

But I do. And I know that this is a blind spot for most of you. It's truly invisible sexism. Men can't talk about it because they will be told they are whining or that they will be lectured about "institutional sexism" or some shit.

90% of DU would vote for DK based on his positions. But he gets no respect even here, let alone in the real world.

Sexism. It's not just for ladies anymore.
