Part of me feels like I am seen as a dangerous person in public (Being 6’3 and Autistic and all that), despite the fact there is evidence against that, so I do understand Anon to that extent.
Although I do see (at least parts of) feminism as having solutions to this dilemma, not the problem like Anon thinks.
The impression someone gives in public is based on a lot more than height, and although autism does factor in its not usually a physical danger. Body language and facial expressions are more important, you can tell if someone’s stressed, or in a rush, or calm. There was a guy who was crazy tall at my last job, like nearly 7 feet tall, but he was always very polite and made funny jokes, and not once did I feel afraid of him.
Okay, okay, I see your point.
