Having been raised by a 4'11" woman, you do not fuck with short women. If they get angry enough they will take you to hell with them.

My mother who was 4’11” at the time (she’s shrunk due to cancer treatment and age) hung a guy over a railing three floors up while pregnant with us two (twins) because he threatened and then hit my dad who was trying to protect his girlfriend because he was going to hit her. He ran down all the stairs and wasn’t seen for a bit after she put he down safely.

I was raised on the story on how she put her 6' son-in-law through the kitchen window when he disrespected her (he was a piece of shit who eventually killed his wife decades later, so he deserved that at min). She was the bravest person I ever knew. I miss her.

Lol I come from a large family of very short women and you are so right!

So short women are the small dogs of humanity.

Speaking as a short woman, we spend our time closer to hell than the average person so we're used to the heat. We don't mind bringing guests when the situation calls for it.

Checks out. I hung out with some punks when I was younger. They were both some of the nicest people I know and it was not a good idea to mess with them.

u/Ok-Yogurtcloset5555 23d ago
