Not a fred about a fred.

Well it is, sort of.

There's a thread at the minute about how some woman dumped a guy because he had a small dick.

I try to impress on DDs (and DSs) that they are what they are and that they shouldn't conform to society's ideals of how they should look, the size of boobs/bums/willys doesn't matter.

How do others deal with this? Is it a feminist issue if it's all about the menz Wink

But it feels like a double standard on the thread to me what feminist links can I quote to show how ridiculous it is? Whether male or female or intersex or anything to be judged on the size of any appendage?

Sorry you kind of said that but I thought it was worth repeating at length Grin

I suddenly had an urge to post a link to that song about gentlemen's genitalia from The Meaning of Life, but suppressed it.

WAY inappropriate on fem section Wink

women dumping men because of their intimate parts. Appalling.

Really, Merlin, appalling? Should women only be allowed to dump men for specific reasons, then? Perhaps you could tell us what preferences we must have.

Should women only be allowed to dump men for specific reasons, then?

I expressed my opinion, my 2 cents about what the OP posted. I'm not tutoring a class in relationships and feelings. Anyone is free to do whatever or to dump even 200 bfs for any reason they like. It's their business, not mine.

In my opinion, dumping someone only because he has a small dick is a shallow behaviour, also because... the woman didn't see it before getting into a relationship with the guy? Honestly I met some guys with incredibly small dicks too. After the first time I slept with them, I just understood it couldn't work, period. They were never my boyfriends and I just told them I wasn't interested in them anymore.
I didn't follow any other threads so I've no idea if some of you are referring to some women in particular, I just gave my opinion concerning the thread Wink

There is a very persistent idea that women should 'make relationships work', certainly if the non-'working' part is the man's penis. I can well imagine many women battling along with recommended positions, pelvic floor exercises and convincing herself it's not important before finally admitting the sex is a problem.
I have to say your statement sounded like that kind of pressure to me.

It wasn't, garlicbutt Blush.

I'm actually against the trend 'let's make any relationship work at any costs', if something can't work it never will.
I think I got your point of view, some women feel pressured into make relationships work despite sex isn't that good but... I might ask you a question... why did they feel pressured into believing it was going to get better later on? Society, prejudice? Not talking about sizes here, in reality those don't matter at all... I'm talking about sex compatibility (meaning that any size that can't fit your needs).

Threads on here, a million magazine articles, chicks flicks & novels, our friends and even counsellors ... all about working it out, with the onus on the woman. Historically, not having a husband meant a life sentence to servitude or even death in a poorhouse. Politically, it's advantageous to the male that the female feels she must have a man and, once had, must keep him.

Takes a while to get out of that mindset! Glad to hear it hasn't affected you, Merlin :)
