Screenshot of a Tumblr post by nongunktional:
when i first heard about the male loneliness epidemic i was like oh yeah close camaraderie and bonding between men is often discouraged in favor of competition or, if not discouraged, at least filtered through a lens of individualism that precludes deep connections. and then i learned what people meant by it (men arent getting laid) to which i say skill issue
to all the men out there not getting laid: try less hard to get laid and try more hard to be an enjoyable and relaxing presence
Especially frustrating when they try to justify it because it’s aimed at a ‘bad guy’. Doesn’t change the fact that penis size is as immutable as height, and is therefore completely idiotic to use as basis for insult.
Not to mention the complete lack of empathy and consideration for all of the decent guys who have penises that are ‘small’ too, who are catching strays for no good reason every time that’s used as an insult.
Boy do I have some bad news for you, “manlet” is also perfectly valid in their eyes.
It’s not news to me, my choice of height for the analogy versus something like eye color, which also would have worked, was deliberate.
I’m extremely wary of anyone who insults or compliments others or even themself, based on any immutable characteristic.
