    You think that’s bad, try being a balding fat 5’6" guy with a small penis. At least fat shaming gets called out if they’re fat shaming a woman, body shaming men is currently considered peak comedy by unfunny internet posters.

      most bald jokes seem to be self effacing… otherwise i don’t think most people care that much.
      and while being bald is generally considered unattractive, a lot of people find it extra hot so mathematically it all works out…
      but yeah, body shaming men is extra popular.
      short dudes get it the worst, i guess because of general aggressive primate stuff that goes on…
      but im on the really tall side of things and ive had several shorter guys confide their jealousy to me.
      i’ve seen the pain… the way they see their life as awesome if they were just really tall…
      honestly it’s got a looot of drawbacks…
      can never find shoes that fit, shirts or pants that are the right length, bicycles are usually dangerous… (i’ve personally gone end-over-end)
      bus, planes, restaurants… almost all seats suck
      very rarely, it is like a super power, but usually it’s like a handicap…
      and your penis probably isn’t that small… porn is crazy… (porn addicts are the number 1 customer of porn)
      also, if you lose weight your dick gets bigger (:

      but i’m against all getting down on the way someone is… i guess fat hate gets a pass because people consider it a choice… even though that’s a part of it, it’s not so much under most people’s control… and pretty complex

        I wasn’t exactly talking about me, though I am 5’6", 135, full head of hair not even all gray yet, 6.5" in the pants (1.0 above natl avg) but never had any complaints because I learned how to use the thing. Actually because of how short I am due to the optical illusion they think it’s big lol, so like you said there are some boons. I was just highlighting the common things men are bodyshamed for, often with the bodyshaming getting open approval by those that would wish death upon you for saying anything that could be construed as negative about a corpulent woman.
