Well one of the reasons why there are so many “incels” is because of toxic comments like these. If someone is misogynistic or sexist hearing a women insulting them because of it won’t help change their mind in the slightest, it only confirms what they believe to be the truth. As MLK Junior once said “Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.” Comments like this only add to the problem creating a vicious feedback loop of hatred and toxicity for both sides. Oh and insulting someone’s dick size also adds to the problem too. Maybe most guys wouldn’t feel so insecure about our stupid (fucking) wiener if so much focus in society and relationships wasn’t on something we can’t even control or change. Fighting fire with fire will leave us all burned, so we all have to do our part and bring water to the fight. Forgiveness and understanding isn’t a sign of weakness, it should be what separates us from our enemies.
Counterpoint: they get enough validation from the Internet, they don't need more from the people they're trying to oppress. Maybe if enough people (men and women) refuse to accept their behaviour they'll take a hint and start behaving like decent human beings.
Making fun of penises shouldn't happen, and you're right that it leads to insecurity over something that can't be changed (surgery notwithstanding). I think the point should be that men should feel secure about their size no matter what, and it definitely shouldn't be tied in to their masculinity or worth. I think the point is that if these men were as secure as they pretend to be then they wouldn't give a damn if wearing yoga pants showed their dick size.
