Size Matters

Size Matters Laws against discrimination due to height, weight will extend legal protections to victims of irrational bias. (Laurel J. Sweet, "Tall Order," Boston Herald, March 24, 2008, page 3) Unless they are enforced as strongly as the laws for racial discrimination the laws will be meaningless as the laws against disability bias which are no more than paper tigers. They are not enforced especially for persons accused of mental illness. But if size matters what about men with small penises, and women with small breasts? Will these laws be applied to that form of bias too?
