Feminisim and small penis jokes

I just read an amazing article about how many small penis jokes feminists tell. That seems to fly in the face of anti-body-shaming. I would love to discuss.

I am a man cursed with the problem, i am a feminist and work with an organization that helps women entrepreneurs. I am curious if you know how painful it is for a man like me to hear?

I've never made a small penis joke and I never will. Neither would I discuss a partner's penis size with anyone else. All body shaming is unacceptable.

I wasn't aware that penis size was a big issue for feminists. I must be doing feminism wrong. Confused

I'm of the opinion that if you find "bucket fanny" jokes offensive (and I do), you shouldn't tell jokes about small penises either. If it helps any, the advice I'd give you is the same as I'd give a female friend who in some way fell short of "accepted standards of attractiveness" (which is pretty much all of us) - look on it as a sort of "wanker filter". If a potential partner is so shallow that it matters to her, then you've dodged a bullet by finding out and can move on to someone who does appreciate you.

I would love to see the article too Hmm

You sound a bit preoccupied tbh.

Women are much less fussed about penises (size or otherwise) than men are ime.

I hate comments related to penis size in the same way i hate men commenting on women's bodies. I have a son with a very very small penis and i dread to think how his self esteem will suffer when he starts dating and hears these comments

Hand on heart I have never told a 'small penis' joke, never commented negatively about a lover (ie gossiping to friends), never made an off-hand remark about bad driving.

And I think it is sad when people do.

Do you have a link to that article?

Personally, in against any sort of body shaming.
