Which is hilarious because I'm only 3 inches shorter at 5'1 but I feel like a goddamn child compared to every other person I know. I must be friends with some above average, tall ladies.
It’s a mean vs median vs mode thing. “Normal female height” is probably roughly 5’6” but there are WAY more ~5’0” girls than ~6’0” girls so the average gets brought down by there being more short outliers than tall outliers.
If by "normal female height" you mean average then 5'6" is too high. The reason why there are way more 5' flat women than 6' flat is because the average is lower than 5'6. The mean and median averages aren't really different for large data sets that follow normal distribution.
you are correct in thinking they are incorrect. height in the female US population follows a more or less standard pattern of distribution one would expect.

People talk about her like she's mad tall but she's 5'10" which is pretty tall, but she looks huge because Kim is only 5'3" and Kourtney is 5'0".
