Tall Women, Short Women

Interesting study:

Scots academics questioned 1,220 women from the UK, United States, Canada and Australia and found the taller ones were less broody, had fewer children and were more ambitious. They were also likely to have their first child at a later age.

Shorter women tended to be more maternal and homely, according to research carried out by psychologists Denis Deady, of Stirling University, and Miriam Law Smith, from St Andrews University.

(HT Michelle, subbing at the Daily Dish, who is of average height with both kids and career) This research was a response to previous work that "claimed taller women had fewer children because they struggled to find a mate." With this study, the researchers claim taller women have more testosterone than their vertically impaired counterparts, giving them more male traits. This is because height is an indicator of masculinity, which seems rather dubious.
