Ok, hear me out. I learned recently that my girlfriend has had two exes with very authoritarian leaning views- both highly narcissistic themselves and both had “surprisingly small members.”
I also learned that people assume I’m gay because of effeminate mannerisms. I never bothered to pay much attention to it because people can’t read minds. Further, I have little concern about how large I am.
But it occurred to me that authoritarians try to control other people to extreme degrees, and dictate what roles men and women have in society, and interestingly, the roles men do are things that make them look “powerful” or “strong” or just… “big.”
The ven diagram of authoritarian views, narcissism, lifted trucks, and demented opinions of masculinity is a circle. I also learned that those exes were HIGHLY sensitive about their size. I think the circle includes another anxiety as well.
Yeah! I’ll bet they’re ugly and smell bad too! My political enemies should be ashamed of their bodies!
?
I didn’t say they should be, I said they probably are.
Like, we know authoritarians are inherently a detriment to society. I don’t think there is a single example in history where people benefited from authoritarian rule equitably to the ruler. Clearly cognitive dissonance is required to support authoritarians, and cognitive dissonance is a defense mechanism commonly found in anxious disorders. Projection is another one.
Given the focus authoritarians have of defining masculinity on things that have little benefit to any gender, they are projecting insecurity about their own masculinity, and performing all sorts of mental gymnastics to avoid the remaining anxiety.
Mix in a little of phallic humor that has at least existed since ancient times, and one can come up with the idea that they simply are insecure of their penis size.
No no, I agree, people who disagree with you politically are just doing it because they have small penises; that’s a very mature and insightful political theory
They’re authoritarians? That’s not a political disagreement, thats a human rights issue?
It’s insecurity more than anything, I reckon.
Undoubtedly. I mean normal people don’t worry about being assassinated so much that they try to control the entire population.
The idea that people you don’t like are biologically inferior is a pretty old idea. I don’t know why it has such staying power. It’s never been redeemed or justified; nothing good has ever come of it. Maybe it stays popular because it flatters the ego of those who believe it.
Im not saying they’re biologically inferior though. Anywhere in that post
Having a small penis doesn’t make someone biologically inferior. It also doesn’t make them an authoritarian.
Overcompensating for your small penis by being an ass with demands on other men to conform to your manliness makes you have a problem with your thinking. As in, authoritarians have a problem with themselves that they can’t change and project it onto other people.
That doesn’t make them inferior. It means they need a LOT of work.
Honestly just sounds like one small slice from a much bigger shit pie. Lack of intelligence, lack of critical thinking, lack of empathy, lack of a world view, tiny penis, tiny balls etc
Im assuming they are concerned about the size of their balls too? I mean if they had a small penis, wouldnt that make their balls look too big by ratio? Or would they want smaller balls to match the small penis? Or do they think big balls means they are tougher and manly so would a small penis result in their balls looking slightly bigger by comparrison as a silver lining? 🤔
… yes?
Interesting…
born to be trans forced to have a massive shlong 😔✊
I’m struggling to make sense of this.
Like you’re trans, but you were well endowed? I mean I’d say congratulations on becoming the real you really. Seems more important at least.
I may be wrong and missing the joke but it kinda sounds like you believe this to be true.
Believe it? No. I mean, its really just phallic humor. Being authoritarian comes from a place of anxiety though, that I believe. Obviously correlation doesn’t equal causation, but every authoritarian ruler in history has been anxious about being removed from power.
Which… clearly makes sense, because they aren’t immortal and doubling down on your oppression only works so many times.
tl:dr: they’re big mad because they’ll never bottom out and they know it
An additional note: of all the mental/intellectual health issues out there, I’m surprised that supporting authoritarian regimes and policies isn’t a symptom.
Because it sure isn’t something someone of sound mind would do lol
I grew up with sisters, so I feel I’ve gotten to know women better from a non-intimate means more so than my friends who only had brothers or only childs. It’s given me an advantage in confidence and being outgoing without being arrogant (hopefully not, anyway).
I still don’t know where I picked those mannerisms up. I was in theatre, arts, music a lot as a kid?
But Ill back you up on that observation - women always comment that they feel safe around me. Which… is a wild thing to hear.

Idk what that says, but its pretty funny the different ways I look at it.
Where do you think the truck jokes came from? Skyscrapers because their dicks have never touched a cervix.
Fair.
And anyone who has gone that deep knows that it takes some finesse to prevent injury, and it is ultimately not worth bragging about.
Edit: holy shit I JUST got the joke well done
I blacked out, what happened
I think i misread it a million times.
In my head it ended up being that the males who drive lifted trucks are jokes, and they come from skyscrapers (as in jump off from) because they’ve never touched a cervix.
I thought it was fucking hilarious.
Is this just a big dick flex?
No? I’m just saying authoritarians need therapy.
You can have a small dick and not want to destroy the world.
