Just been reading a thread further down where yes some scumbag bloke had been horrible to someone. Lots of outrage and tell him he has a small dick, tell him he has a micro penis basically mock the size of his genitals.

Can you imagine if a woman upset a bloke and all his mates said tell her she has awful labia, tell her her fanny is horrible, tell her she doesnt look normal down there
Its horrific!!

Do you know how many lovely men with smaller penises get inundated with this? Do you know how many teenage boys worry themselves to death because of comments like these?

Its depressing/sexist/cruel and plain nasty. You should be ashamed of yourselves!

gah now I wanna know which thread you mean Grin

GahBuggerit · 23/04/2017 07:55

Grin just dawned on me youre talking about another thread - as you were!

KungFuPandaWorksOut16 · 23/04/2017 07:54

papa

Because in my head, the man didn't just randomly send a text saying she's not good in bed, doesn't make sense.
More than likely he has said don't want too see you anymore, she's asked why and he's responsed we are not compatible in the bedroom etc.

Not most tactful but he is allowed to say he doesn't find her good in bed. Like I said I could point you in multiple directions of threads where, women are saying how shit ex partners have been in bed and how they got rid/they had micro penises/ small willies.

Ive seen a thread recently where a woman is saying how her partner is shit in bed but overall the best partner in other aspects, the advice was too tell him and give him a chance to improve or get rid life is too short for shit sex.

Just because he didn't find her good in bed doesn't mean nobody else has. I don't see how his text warranted them responses. I couldn't imagine if a men had posted, women would flock to
tell him to reply

" fanny like a wizards sleeve "
"Bucket "

Would be more like
"get a grip, not everyone will think you are a god in the bedroom"

Two actually suggested assault!
" dump him of the top of a block of flats "
" put chilli peppers in his boxers and watch him burn "

The last two arent exact quotes, but I know dumping of a block of flats was mentioned and chilli pepper flakes in the boxers.

histinyhandsarefrozen · 23/04/2017 07:53

I saw it on 2 threads recently and neither were to do with that!

Im with pp who think it doesn't work as an insult - I mean, most guys already know the size of their cock, or they know you don't know the size of their cock, or they know you've never complained before.

It's not going to hurt them, but yes, the stigma will hurt others.

GahBuggerit · 23/04/2017 07:47

Perspective please op. It was about 2 posters that said that and they were pretty much ignored due to there being a bit of warranted outrage due to him discussing prepubescents masturbating and asking a lady who walked her down the aisle after she revealed her father had passed away before her wedding.

But yeah, him being called small penis was totes awful in comparison Hmm

MerchantofVenice · 23/04/2017 07:41

Cross post Bertrand!

MerchantofVenice · 23/04/2017 07:38

Although I've never used the 'handmaiden' or 'cool wives' retorts, I do often agree with the sentiments. It's a bit general to eay they 'get trotted out just because you happen to have a different view to the majority.' Those phrases have very specific meanings! Often it's all to clear why posters have resorted to them...

BertrandRussell · 23/04/2017 07:36

People get very angry about the use of "handmaiden" and "cool girl/wife" And they are rather tedious terms, I suppose. But they are terms for something that really exists. There are women who excuse and justify men's behaviour, however appalling. Who always put men's needs and wants first and who always seek to blame the woman in any given situation. Who look at a situation where women are having a hard time and who immediately say "Oh, but it's just as bad for men"
A lot of women do this without realising it-many of us were socialised to put men first- so it's a shock to have it pointed out. Very often our reaction to having our world view questioned is to get angry and lash out. Particularly if it's a world view that has suited us very well in the past.

MerchantofVenice · 23/04/2017 07:34

kali ok. But were those same women doing it to men? I highly doubt it. As I've said, misogyny is misogyny, whether it's coming from men or women...

kali110 · 23/04/2017 02:10

LassWiTheDelicateAir
And where did I do that? You referred to a "certain vibe" which appears. I merely pointed out the equally nasty and misogynistic vibe which often appears in the "handmaiden " put down

And 'cool wives' Angry that serously pisses me off when that gets trotted out on a thread just because you happen to have a different view to the majority.

kali110 · 23/04/2017 02:06

No i don't think i'm atypical at all Confused
School, college work even it was the women that was worse to my friends and i, a lot worse.

StillHungryy · 23/04/2017 01:45

There's basically a whole thread in classics about men's penises and making fun of them, I do think it's wrong, all body shaming is of course, it seems odd to me to think body shaming is wrong BUT men do it to me/ women when that man ( a man in general )may not have said a thing about a woman's body

MerchantofVenice · 22/04/2017 23:56

Totally agree, Bertrand

There are many, many right-minded men who are prepared to fight for feminism. It's a shame they are so often over-shadowed...

BertrandRussell · 22/04/2017 23:52

"My heart fills with joy, however, when I see MEN defending feminism (and they do)"
Oh God, me too! And it counteracts the utter gloom that overcomes me when I see women attacking feminism and allying themselves with the most awful of men....

WorraLiberty · 22/04/2017 23:39

At least we agree on something Grin

Arealhumanbeing · 22/04/2017 23:37

Worra

Thanks for the advice Smile You're right of course, it is my problem.

No need to get so invested though. I'm just an internet random after all.

MerchantofVenice · 22/04/2017 23:35

I wouldn't necessarily let a single Internet random worry me either... but I see shitloads of misogyny on the Internet and it genuinely does worry me.

My heart fills with joy, however, when I see MEN defending feminism (and they do).

WorraLiberty · 22/04/2017 23:30

I think if any internet random grinds your gears and starts to actually worry you, it's probably time to take a step back.

I find myself rolling my eyes out of my head most days at a lot of posters, but that's very much my problem if I let them worry me Grin

Arealhumanbeing · 22/04/2017 23:27

Ah you're funny too! That was great Grin

Yeah I know you don't care. You worry me though. I'm sure you're a decent sort underneath it all.

BertrandRussell · 22/04/2017 23:26

Yes- I wish I thought men were leaping to the defence of women the way women leap to the defence of men. Very interesting that they don't..........

Aeroflotgirl · 22/04/2017 23:25

With that thread, the boyfriend insulted her, I probably would insult him back if he said that to my face, but as its a text, I would have said something like ditto, and delete and block him.

WorraLiberty · 22/04/2017 23:19

Meh. Stick a bit of oil in them Arealhumanbeing, or book your bike in at Halfords.

WomblingThree · 22/04/2017 23:17

Actually, come to think of it MerchantofVenice, I wouldn't have much of a problem with the small dick thing if a bloke was in the act of catcalling or commenting about someone's body to their face.

I guess it's about relevance and context.

WomblingThree · 22/04/2017 23:12

Ultimately there are so many insults that you can apply to a dumb arse of either sex that don't need to involve genitals. Referring to a micro- penis isn't even a relevant insult. The bloke sent the woman a repulsive email; that literally has nothing to do with the size of his dick. He's a letch, a perve, a sleaze, a slimebag, a shit...

If a woman sent a totally inappropriate email to someone, I doubt anyone would be saying "oh I bet she's got no tits" or "yeah she's just a bucket", because it would be irrelevant.

MerchantofVenice · 22/04/2017 23:12

Oh, as an aside, I think I might actually have been thinking of the wrong thread.

This does not affect my argument at all.
