Petite Women: What stereotypes do you face??

I'm naturally petite...(petite in every sense of the word: 5'1", under 100 lbs, and a 30A on a good day, with size 0 fitting me in most brands, although sometimes the 0 is too big.)

Having launched a website, www.ItsyBitsyBraBar.com, and having the wonderful opportunity to talk to many women who are also petite, it seems like we are commonly underestimated!!

Why do small women have to be weak, fragile, and dense?  Just because we are not towering over a room or the same height as "average" women, doesn't mean we are any less intelligent, powerful, or ambitious. 

What types of things have you had to do in your life to overcome this stereotype?  For example, when I was younger I just never wanted to wear high heels--they were uncomfortable, and I couldn't walk in them for the life of me.  However, I wear them more now because I feel I need to be on "equal footing" when I got to professional or networking events. 

Share your stories and ways you have overcome the typical perception of being a petite woman!
