You're hearing wrong. Being tall is advantageous regardless of gender.

    Are women having these operations performed on them?

    Yes, it's in the article. The "(shortness) is the last acceptable prejudice in society" quote is attributed to a female patient.

    While it still seems like a gendered issue the way the article talks about it, the lengthening surgeries being done mainly on men and the rarer leg shortening on women; implying that women don't do this at all is wrong.
