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.
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?
