I don't think Hollywood is meaning to be rude by going with "boring" stastistics, it's always been that average men were taller then average women, it's life, it's... just... simply... life.  If you want to change that, study science, change DNAs or something, do something dramatic that changes the way the world was created... (or boomed, or spoken, or just came into existance, however way you wanna say).

That being said, I've heard numerous times that in history, the man was to care for the woman, to protect her, to "tower" over her to make her feel protected, and to provide for her.  I've heard women (with my own two ears) say they want to feel protected, and yes, that they want a tall man.

There's nothing wrong that women these days want to rule the family and beat their husbands to the pulp if he doesn't straighten out, and to go to work and provide for her own self because they hate the "boring stastistics" (you know I'm kidding... lol).  Seriously, there's nothing wrong for women to feel equal in their relationships instead of being ruled over.  We're getting more and more of that as time changes, and the little men (below average) are becoming more attractive to women (apparently, that's what you women are saying, right?).

But get real, Hollywood is only following average stuff.  But, I do see there are shows where women are taller then men, so yes, things change as people change, just be patience.  Hollywood would be dumb if they didn't change along with everyone, 'cause they're serving "entertainment" for them, and if the people stop watching their movies, well, it's time for Hollywood to change.
