They'd never dare to say something like that to a guy regardless of how tall he was. But for some reason treating a grown woman like a toy is still okay. The funny thing about 5'7" being called petite is that people are continually assuming I'm taller than I actually am (and I have for various reasons been unable to wear heels much lately). It apparently gives the impression of being quite tall. Yeah, I wonder how people think they can get away with the put-you-in-my-pocket line.

I'm 5'7", there is no way that I am even close to being petite. I am taller than most women I know and as you said anyone shorter will have a tough time making a career. Designers aren't going to tailor their clothing for such a broad spectrum of heights and sizes. Nice try though. I think it’s hilarious that they are calling 5’7″ women “petite”.

I do. I know they're meant to be as an, "Aww, look at Chloe! She's so little!" type of positive thing, but yeah. Um, no. YOU AREN'T TAKING ME SERIOUSLY IF YOU WANT TO PUT ME INTO YOUR POCKET, BIATCHES. I mean I guess I am little, being only 5'2", but I don't feel that way? But at the same time, I totally understand why I should never be a model...so I think the new installment of ANTM is just bizarre.
