But I’d like to explore this just on a philosophical level.
"I’m curious why we, when confronting the white-centered toxic masculinity of this culture, we are choosing to use the vernacular of that toxic masculinity.
Aren’t we just reinforcing the very thing we’re fighting against?
Little dick = bad. Big dick = good.
Little dick = weak. Big dick = strong.
Little dick = desperate. Big dick = resolved.
Isn’t that the message we’re sending here?
I see this in general conversations and social media interactions, too.
“What a sexist asshole. No doubt he has a micro dick and is trying to make up for his shortcomings.”
“Poor guy, spreading his little dick energy everywhere, cuz he knows he isn’t worth shit.”
“Dude, put away your male privilege. We all know you have a tiny dick — the jig is up.”
I question if this is a healthy approach. I don’t see how we can keep insisting that size doesn’t matter when we make statements like these, over and over, that so clearly illustrate that it does matter.
I think it’s so important to move away from this rhetoric about small dicks and little dick energy.
Men should not have to feel insecure about their penis size. Honestly, who the hell cares? If it gets the job done, what does size matter? And even if it doesn’t, there are fingers. There are toys.
Dicks are great, but they aren’t the be-all and end-all in the bedroom.
And maybe there would be less “little dick energy” in the world if we didn’t keep consciously and unconsciously shaming penis size…
While our culture gives men so many privileges, it also fails them on the most basic levels. It fails to uphold them, fails to honor or appreciate sacred masculinity, and fails to give them a good foundation on which to stand"
