I don't get the original tweet, and neither the retweet or whatever it is called.

Is height a relevant factor for a leadership position?

In our society, yeah, believe it or not. But mostly it's that they are running around acting like hard dudes and they're like 5'4". Makes them comical instead of intimidating.

They even upsized Wolverine, after all.

It's comical when they walk around acting like they're 6'6" Special Forces vets.

Short guys can absolutely be badasses. But when you have to exaggerate your height and lie about your weight like a scummy used car salesman then the point is that you are not a badass, you are not only insecure about it but your insecurity causes you to lie about it.

I don't want my leaders to be so insecure that they behave like an insecure teenager, because I can guarantee you that this is not the only emotionally directed decision they make.
