IN PRAISE OF SHORT MEN. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you might recall that I've twice shared perspectives of women who've expressed contempt for male shortness. I must say I was shocked by their intensity, even though their writing reflects the findings of this ABC News report, which at least cushions the blow by suggesting that shorter men may make better husbands.

But now it's time to celebrate the shorty! So here's some beefcake: Short Men of the Internet, which includes galleries of Men Between 5'7" and 5'5", Men Between 5'4" and 5'2", and Men Under 5'2". Men between 5'5" and 5'4"? You might need a website of your own....

And here's a Savage Love column in which John Cameron Mitchell joins with Dan Savage in responding to a woman who fantasizes about men "the size of a Ken doll."
