short shaming 

No, this has nothing to do with penis length; your dirty mind would go there!

Short shaming is the act of teasing or disparaging a person because of their short stature.

It's a form of discrimination that gets the impunity that racism doesn't. Short shaming has a surprising double standard present in many women: they advocate for the body positivity of themselves and others, yet openly and shamelessly denounce short men.

It's important to remember that height is genetic and unchangeable once a man hits the approximate age of 20; discriminating against it is never a valid criticism. Short men face a lot of discrimination, so just remember to treat them with the respect that everybody deserves. Short shaming is like racism: you're discriminating against a harmless trait that someone cannot change.

Girl 1: "Ew, it's only a friends thing, right?"
Girl 2: "Hey, quit short shaming, I love him!"

Virgin Shaming 

The act of judging, mocking, or treating someone as though they are not sexually experienced. Often times the individual being victimized will not reveal their virginity status. With that being said, virginity shamers most of the time assume the victims sexual experience based off of personality traits or behaviors they associate with being a virgin. This is an overlooked problem in society.
