Yes women as well as men are discriminated because of their height...
I guess there's no logical explanation, it's part of their cultural standards of beauty as well as having round eyes, double-fold eyelid an pale skin (women carry umbrella on sunny and rainy days
)... Discrimination and prejudices of all kind are almost "normal" in China...It's often a way to select candidates, during the medical examination to become a civil servant, women got their height, distance between eyes and bust size measured...Guess why...
I'm not tall (5"7') but I dont think I would change my height...
Look at that:
