    There is nothing wrong with, and everything right about, small penises. The more we mock men’s behavior and bodies, the more we ourselves create awful 4×4 behavior.

    All penises are good. Sometimes the people attached are awful.


    Alternatively, imagine saying this about another body part on another gender.

      This is some small titty energy.

      … It doesn’t hit the same.

        Girls with small titties don’t overcompensate by buying land rovers

          Does anyone with any particular body characteristic overcompensate by purchasing a land rover or it it just meant to mock them by associating them with something they, and the person making the association, perceive as negative?

            I think the idea is that if you feel the need to have a powerful status symbol like a Range Rover or a Porsche then the only explanation is that you just desire the status symbol of “Big Man”. The old joke is then that they feel the need to be a big man because they feel ashamed about something else like having a small willy.

              So you’re saying that it’s shameful to have a small penis and it’s OK to look down on people based on their penis size?

              That’s the assertion your theory is dependent on.

              I know it’s rare to think about things we say often but really try and think about it, it’s a dumb thing to say and continuing it simply because it’s commonly said would be really dumb - not everyone with a small penis is a rage filled monster but forcing these cruel assertions that someone with a small penis is likely to be the sort of loser that drives a Porsche does make it more likely someone with a small penis will fixate on it and suffer social anxiety because of it.

                I know fully well that’s the case, that’s why I described it as “the theory” and “the old joke” rather than saying it’s what I think or that I think it’s correct.

        More like “mini cruisers are for women without tits” or “Siennas are for fat women,” or something, but you were thinking in the right direction!

        Generally vagina size is mostly incels getting it wrong, but since there is lots of body dismorphia with breast size as well as people who they may be trying to attract having sometimes openly stated preferences in it, I’d say chest or ass size which can be similar is more likely.

        Not that cars would be the compensation. Oh, how the face looks too, as I’ve definitely seen people accuse women of dressing “slutty” because they’re a “butterface.”

      Trying to get my head round your logic here, while ignoring your holier-than-thou boringness

      You’re saying we persuade people to buy big cars if me mock their penises, or they’re more prone to buy one due to their tiny penis?

        He’s saying that a society obsessed by penis size will cause people with small penises to suffer bullying, social stigma and etc which is likely to result in them feeling they have something to prove and acting hyper toxic masculine

      Cis men should have their gender dysphoria treated instead of trying to distract themselves with vanity projects like oversized vehicles. Just because you like their body the way it is doesn’t mean you can dictate what they should want. Nothing wrong with a small penis, but that doesn’t mean everyone has to want that.

      Alternatively, imagine saying this about another body part on another gender.

      Trans women eggs should probably realize they’re eggs and transition (if that’s feasible where they are and if not, go to somewhere where it is feasible) rather than having dysphoria beards, working out stereotypically masculine muscles groups, and acting hypermasculine to cover-up for their insecurities.

        Is it usually at this point in the conversation when people excuse themselves and go talk to the cat instead of you? 😂
