Face it, boys: you are fucked. You could single-handedly build a homemade spacecraft and send yourself to Mars and back, and the only thing the average person would remember you for in two-hundred years would be as "that 5'6" guy who did something in space or something."
But he wasn't actually a manlet.

He was taller then average for his time.him being Manlet is British propaganda
>>27678820
by his time's standard he wasn't
He was about 168 cm tall, which was average for his time. And only ignorant people would remember him as the 'manlet who did something important'.
NB doesn't get shit bacause he was short (he wasn't) he gets shit for his height because he's the #2 most iconic historical figure in all history and knocking him down a peg for his height (since height is one of the last physical attributes acceptable to discriminate soneone for) brings everyone else up a peg

I feel sorry for currently living manletts, then.
You'll all be remembered as midgets--if manlets ever actually contributed to society

Good point really.
Probably one of the most influential men in all of history...people are bound to shit on him somehow out of envy.

That's not the point, it's that even the idea that he was short overrides his accomplishments. Not that that isn't just cherry picking. Horatio Nelson was shorter than Napoleon and it doesn't get commented on. Yuri Gagarin was 5'2 but nobody remembers him for being a manlet.

This tbqh its the same reason Ceasar gets shit on for being bald, Washington for having wooden teeth and hitler for having one ball

>>27679105
