Here’s an interesting, er, historical discussion I found in the Red Pill Women subreddit, in a larger discussion of vagina size:
The more you know!
The entire discussion is, of course, a gold mine of misogynistic nonsense. You can dive right in here, or see some of the more memorable quotes highlighted in this Blue Pill discussion.
“It does say she âlustedâ after them though, that sounds pretty good⌠it is true that the Romans thought portraying big penises (and big breasts) was vulgar, ”
Bwahahahahaha!! No. The Romans were more than happy to portray big ol’ boners – look up “Priapus” see also many of the perfectly preserved mosaics from the ruins of Pompeii.
Gahd, so much fail in this comment thread.
Ha ha, Joe1 had to jump in on this thread to make sure we know that a flaccid penis might be a different size from an erect one.
Thanks Joe, we totally didn’t know that. đ
First Bore: Note that your precious correction was already provided by our esteemed author, several posts prior to yours. If you ever bothered to pull your head from between your asscheeks (I recommend the Ampco Safety Tools W-29 Crow Bar Nonsparking 18 inch), you might actually notice what other people have posted, and thereby reduce, by a fractional amount, your own irrelevance.
I shan’t hold my breath, though.
“Michaelangeloâs” … curse lack of edit function
ok, I know that it’s not what you intended from further down in your comment, but I seriously thought of pack animals like those poor donkeys that get loaded up with burdens that are twice their height to carry up ridiculous mountain sides… which now that I think of it could also be an MRA theme.
@freemage – lol, could you be more pompous??
Well thanks for the lolz folks, laterz! XD
Pi Male has already covered this, Joe. Read the fucking thread.
Joe also thinks nobody here’s heard of Priapus. I was about to suggest that the Red Pill idiots might try Googling his name. Trust Joe to foul up making what would have been sensible suggestion and have to boast while he’s doing it.
Hey, Joe, you actually notice we’re talking about NOT body-shaming men for their penis size here, as well as commenting on the racist and homophobic comments?
“it ain’t the meat, it’s the motion.” Isn’t that how the old blues song goes? Seriously, as a friend of mine pointed out, “It’s not the dick between their legs I worry about, it’s the dick between their ears.”
I’ve actually heard the gay thing before. It is true that big dicks have gone in and out of fashion, but straight dudes perpetrate the narrative more than women do, IMO. And if MRAs want to cry about dick-ism they should stop making fun of each others dicks and using words like “mangina”.
Joe’s gone now, he just wanted to make an ass of himself and giggle for a while. LOL indeed! XD
Kate – yeah, I had visions of a mule-train when I read that! đ
The BluePill comments were wonderful. Not looking at the RedPill ones, I don’t want to lose my breakfast.
Bye, Joe. It’s never nice to see you.
“Bwahahahahaha!!”
Oh, Joe, I missed that so much!
(Not.)
Also, seconding hellkell.
La Strega, yes. “It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you do with it” is my attitude (not that I’m going to be involved to have to worry about it).
Reading is Misandry!
Off topic, but Joe is part of why we DO NOT have an edit button. Cuz idiots like him would edit out the stupid.
On topicâŚRome was weird.
Um, if I were to venture a guess, I’d say that about 99 % of all women over the age of twelve or so already knows that penises grow when the penis-owner gets an erection.
From what pi male linked. Interesting how things have changed… I still want to know how common thinking like this was, it seems like just a Roman/Greek idea. Anyone know?
@pi male: What about the Lysistrata? All the art I’ve seen depicts the soldiers as having the largest genitals, while the angry old men have the smallest. The big dicks still make sense as it was a comedy, but I’ve always been led to believe that the underendowment and impotence on the senators was part of the joke as well.
Can’t speak to the whole world, but I do know that anxiety over penis size and depictions of enlargement techniques were a recurring element in Chinese erotic literature going back hundreds of years. It’s certainly not new.
There are also penis-enlargement tips in the kama sutra (that sound hella painful).
Relevant.
I guess the tide was carrying him away from service.
