Good meme, but we really ought to end small-penis hatred.
It's not about the actual size, it's more like a mindset
It's not the small penis we hate, it's the loud car.
Counterpoint: it's the hate that makes them compensate?
Yes, but we use the small penis as an insult, which is not fair.
I don't understand nudity options in games. You got average and above average. Few people gonna go with average then.
Those are noobs though, just git good and save the world with a small dick.
My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude
I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material
I m a small dude thx to give me confidence
I hate a lot of things.
Guess i should start body shaming because of that?
No. Only insecure losers bodyshame.
It's like with the "do you punch a Nazi?", even pacifists have limits.
Then again, I think for me it's ok to hit people where it hurts when you want to hurt them--- and penis size is the "alpha males" easy and effective target just like crowd size is a certain assholes weakness.
Not even remotely comparable. When you punch a Nazi you are only hurting a Nazi.
When you body shame you hurt every single person who has that characteristic.
If everyone started shitting on characteristics you possess you probably wouldn't like it either.
Have some fucking empathy.
Drag doesn't know a single person who buys into that penis size stuff and isn't a conservative. In fact, most of drag's friends have a penis and want to get rid of it.
Ok, except what if only the target is within earshot and it's used exclusively to make that person feel like shit? And would this be true of any other insult that could potentially apply to someone else, like being bad at something? Although I guess if harm is the goal, empathy isn't exactly a priority.
I'll concede you're right about collateral damage, though. Friends of mine know I don't actually believe the insult in most cases (especially penis size, what am I, 12?), but I use more tact if I'm worried it would upset present company or being up bad memories, etc (more commonly fat shaming). I also don't insult people like I used to, though.
But, I don't really hold anything sacred and I'm not about to hold back a good insult for a hypothetical person.
Testicle size and reproductive potency are entirely unrelated to penis size, for all the men out there. And if you only ever have one partner at a time that you want to make babies with, you don’t really need to be a super stud in the testicle department. You just need regular sexual contact with your lady half.
But this shows that even if you do want all the ladies, large testicles don’t matter.
(Aside; people with breeder fetishes who impregnate multiple women are fucking gross and weird. Musk is one such and just.. eew.)
It's not the size that counts, it's how you use it.
It’s the compatibility with a partner imo, the match is everything - the technical details are mostly irrelevant once events take place
this (the study) is about the crystal balls, not the magic wand.
