I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

It is Italian, but doesn't mean what you think it means. Wanted to look up a link for the emoji but my European search alternative only showed results for the gesture in general. So here a Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_vuoi%3F

Also, in related news, today I learned:

In Malawi, the gesture refers to human testicles (machende) in the Bantu language Chichewa.

Thanks for the info. Still the other response is quite confusing even with the conspiracy theory.

It's a sideways chefs kiss. Also, something, something, penis size.

I thought it was finger banging.

I could agree it is someone holding an invisible cigarette but I have not ever seen someone do a chefs kiss with the two fingers apart or sideways, let alone both.

Start of the motion. But I see where you're coming from. This seems to be a matter of perception.

Ah, so you're someone to ignore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I mean, sure. You do you, friend.

that radical feminist groups have propagated these hidden messages to humiliate men with small penises

Why would radical feminists target men with small penises? They’re probably already naturally humiliated, right? It’s the big dick men who need to be taken down a notch.

Hah. Until your member gets pinched in the XL jock strap, or the dreaded dip, or the "nope, that's too deep".

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 month ago

Probably because telling a man he has a small dick is okay but saying a woman has a loose pussy isn't

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!
