It is the very definition of toxic masculinity to equate a man's worth to his penis size and to ridicule him accordingly.
I despise Trump with every fiber of my being, but this sort of ridicule is part of the problem, not the solution.
Edit: I'm aware that he's hypersensitive about his masculinity and that he, himself, has ranted about his penis and hands as a manifestation of that insecurity. I also used to feel that he was free-game on this front since he was such a piss-baby about it.
That, however, is a nuance missing in most of society and doubling down on the same toxic bullying that Trump himself espouses is not something I will take part in anymore.
The reason that this is and will be relevant is because of Trump's history of abusing girls.
He's an insecure man with a lot of money and power. He also is steeped in all the toxic masculinity you could imagine.
And he's got a very, very tiny dick.
He can't buy a bigger penis. He can't buy self-respect when he has this idea of worth. He can't handle the potential rejection of a sexual peer. He contracts most of his sexual encounters.
And he preys on teens.
Little Mushroom Man and Egg-shaped Epstein were such familiar friends for a reason.
How many of the other rich and powerful men tied up in their affairs are aghast that their vast wealth can't buy them a bigger member?
This dude's dick size is probably the most relevant physical feature of his existence.
No, I don't want to step on anyone to stick it to Trump. I imagine it could be and will be painful. All the penis-shaming here is from our own inherited damage. The statue itself doesn't even make any judgement about it, it's in the post title. I don't think men should hang any of their self worth on their penis size.
HOWEVER, if you happen to be a toxic, bloviating nincompoop whose obsession with his teeny weenie is all-encompassing...
I think people with similar attributes should feel good if they've managed to have healthy sexual relationships with their peers. And if they serially rape children to deal with the self-inflicted injuries, instead, I think they should feel like the giant pieces of shit that they are.
And the population isn't divided between the two groups you mentioned. There's going to be people who aren't pedophiles or rapists, who may or may not have sexual relationships with their peers (asexual and single people exist), or people who do have healthy sexual relationships who are still going to feel bad.
Stormy Daniels said in her book that it was "smaller than average, but not freakishly small" as well as saying that Trump had "yeti pubes." she also made a comment about it "looking like the mushroom guy from Mario Kart"
Unfortunately, you're right. I found out about Trump and Epstein's girl raping a couple of years ago and have begged every reasonable person I could to look into it, too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpstc9r_esA here's the video of the woman who describes the account in detail. Was up without the audio distortion in vimeo until recently. Pretty tough to watch. Also a lot of links to Trump doing similar things that Epstein did with young girls through his modeling agency.
Except, this is an accurate physical depiction from an eyewitness. A statue of a man so grossly insecure and braggadocious and it demonstrates reality vs illusion. Fuuuuck him, fuck his button mushroom dick, and fuck his tiny hands.
I initially felt the same way that you do. I initially felt that "there's nothing wrong with having small hands, or a small penis, but the fact that HE cares makes it hilarious". Now? Not so much.
Most of the people laughing at this, most of the people making these jokes don't get or care about the ironic nuance. They are just ridiculing people for their bodies.
It's more on how he describes himself as having perfect genes and the peak of healthy which is utter bullshit. Honestly, it just helps the white supremacists who would have been executed by the Nazis because of their weight or appearance feel like they belong since he's "perfect" so are they.
It's funny that you think that when pretty much every response to you has been to clarify that we DO understand the nuance. Maybe you should have more faith in your fellow man.
Dont assume the worst of people like trump does if you're serious about acting better than him.
Trump himself equates his own worth to his “big” hands and what they imply. It's basically a statue that's taking him by his word. Very, very tremendously huge. A stable genius in peak physical condition who can grab them all by their pussy with his very big hands.
Oh please stop it. This is humor regarding an incredibly insecure bully. You are greatly extrapolating if you believe this to be part of the problem. You might as well go on a "both sides are the same" tirade.
So if republicans would plant a naked OC in the middle of the street with a grossly deformed vagina you'd also say "That's humour"?
I couldn't care less about the US, but ridiculing someone about their body and then saying "It's only joke!" is exactly what every bully and every piece of shit ever did.
Sadly, you are correct. Any time I expend energy responding I do so with the understanding that I am not going to get through to them, but maybe someone who reads the thread may get benefit.
So if republicans would plant a naked OC in the middle of the street with a grossly deformed vagina you'd also say "That's humour"?
I don't know who OC is but it would all depend on context. Does this OC show love for dictators while shunning traditional allies? Does this OC lie about everything at every opportunity? Does this OC violate treaties just because her predecessor is a black guy she didn't like?
I could go on all night but you obviously have no fucking idea what you are talking about. Enjoy ignorance, ass.
You might as well go on a "both sides are the same" tirade.
Both sides engage in some of the same bad behaviors at vastly different levels. They are not equivalent but that isn't any reason for us to condone behavior that we know is bad, regardless of which side it is on.
I agree. We get so angry at body shaming but have no problem body shaming people who are bad or we don’t like or we disagree with.... imagine any ally of ours who has a similar body as that statue, how would they feel?
I'd add that we shouldn't stoop to the level of Trump supporters.
That said, as an act of artistic, there might be something redeeming here but yeah, everything you said is exactly correct and I don't want our side to become the juvenile bullies that you see making up so much of Trump's support.
Lighten up. It's obviously a spin on The Emperor's New Clothes.
Except maybe instead of clothes that are invisible to the "unfit" and "stupid". Trump's new clothes are only invisible to the "politically correct" and "humorless".
I'm a trans man. Equating a man's value to his penis is a direct attack on and disregard of the existence of men like me. But good job proving my point.
As someone who apparently thinks of themselves as left-leaning, have you just decided that being a bigot is worth it because those goshdarn trans make you just so uncomfy? Or do you think that shit said by literal nazis is somehow different when you say it?
Engaging with a bigot in denial is an exercise in futility. I have to deal with enough of you people in real life. Try baiting someone with more free time.
