My old workplace used to encourage people to use all caps on their reports because it hid the fact the people they hired didn't know how to capitalize grammatically.

I want to assure all cis men that essentially no women give a rats ass about your dick size. If you’re gay, then yeah you might get rejected by some size queens, but vaginas don’t care that much about anything past the first two inches. Size is really a neutral feature outside of extremes (too big and it hurts!)

I’m a trans man, and my “penis” is a micro penis. This doesn’t make me less of a person, but if I tried to compensate for it by being expressing a deranged and toxic masculinity (in Trump’s case, to the point of sexually assaulting multiple women), then pointing out that I am insecure about it would probably be a good way to call me out for being a shitty man.

I mean, let's not pretend there isn't an aesthetic factor that women do care about

Not as much as you think. (That Rick and Morty episode is probably more accurate to what most millennial women would want…) I understand body dysmorphia, I get feeling insecure about your body - that’s kinda what the point of bringing up my transness in the conversation.

I do think porn might be doing to young men something along the lines of what beauty culture does to young women’s bodies. I am empathetic, but in general the impact your penis size has on your life is almost always irrelevant to its outcomes, barring those bell curves and your own self fulfilling prophecies.

The idea that this insecurity can motivate forms of fascism can be important to point out. There does to be an obsession with “virility” on Elon Musk’s part, from the “spread my genetics everywhere” grossness. The kinds of men who join fascistic movements are often motivated by feelings of sexual inadequacy and an obsession with machismo.

There’s nothing wrong with being a man, but I think a tool in dismantling that kind of compensating masculinity that harms others is pointing out what it does possibly root to for them. Freud was full of shit, but he had some things right.

We should call forms of masculinity that are harmful unmasculine behavior and mock people who exhibit such traits out of our community. Maybe I’m trying a Dances with Wolves or Avatar here but there’s some use in having waltzed around a lot of sides of the line.

Not as much as you think.

I never stated any high importance. I just said it matters.

I think it's crazy that I just state it matters, which is undeniably true, and it instantly prompts a rant about body dysmorphia, porn, facism, toxic masculinity, and reshaping society. Like, bro...

Men who upvote this will complain about male beauty standards one breath and then body shame men in another.

I cant believe this is real

Isn't it so telling that this is a confirmed fact? I mean, who better to assess this than Stormy Daniels, who this orange moron undeniably paid for her services. And then, in a completely absurd attempt to cover it up, he also committed a crime for which he was convicted and sentenced. Ergo: The incumbent US president not only has a mirco-penis, which of course says nothing about his suitability for office. But he even managed to make it a crime - and that says it all. It's by no means his most serious offense.

Listen I have zero stake in Trump's penis size but let's not get loose with the definition of "confirmed fact" here. You haven't seen it.

My point: One testimony does not make a fact

I'm not saying it isn't true. I'm saying you're misunderstanding the meaning of "confirmed" and "fact"

Let's not make fun of Toad like that.

Stormy Daniels said it, not me.
