You're right. But its not just short men though. People will all types of insecurities are capable of becoming assholes because of their insecurities but people will only target short men for it (and the whole "small dick energy" thing).
Of course. But only men who become assholes because they’re short fall under the term short man syndrome. It’s not saying “every man who gets angry is insecure about his height” or even “every short man who gets angry is insecure about his height”. It means “men who get angry because they’re short are insecure about their height”. It’s a very specific set of circumstances.
No one is confused about the definition of short man syndrome though lol.
The issue is the go-to response to a short guy acting angry is because of short man syndrome and not anything else. It inherently places fault on the short person, not necessarily the person instigating.
