'My knee was crushed and I yelped': 5'2" traveler plays the victim after refusing to let the man in front of her recline his seat, ends up causing discourse that left the entire plane divided

Traveling is uncomfortable, I get it. But if you're barely over 5ft tall, you're probably the only person capable of comfort in an economy seat on a flight. So when every man over 6ft tall reads this next story, if you're fuming at this woman's entitlement, you're not alone. 

An airplane is a common space where we can all trauma bond from the confines of our tiny seats. If you're unlucky enough to be a larger person—either in height or width—you're probably suffering far more than the person next to you. While it's not a contest about who's the most uncomfortable in their chair, ultimately, we all need to compromise a little for the sake of the group's sanity. But this 5'2" woman in this next story wouldn't budge an inch, even after denying the man in front of her the right to recline his chair.
