Tallness is zero sum
Why is tallness zero sum? Tallness is part of male beauty standards, so if guys were taller that’d be great for everyone.
Because “tall” is context dependent. In Laos the average male height is 163 cm (5″4). In the Netherlands it is 184 cm (6 ft). If your height is 180 cm, you are very tall in Laos, but below average in the Netherlands.
This data is not relevant to my point. What would be relevant is the delta between male and female average height in the two countries.
