And then overcompensates with other toxic masculine traits in order to PROVE stereotypical masculinity through other means. Depending on who is wielding it, it seemed a critique of toxic masculinity and traits and not actually buying into the idea that genital size = masculinity.

When it's used by feminists, I don't see it's focus on genitals as validating the toxic masculine belief that small genitals are indicative of less masculinity but a mockery of that belief system and its toxicity. I read it as mocking a kind of masculinity not a kind of body.

Because it can be read as body shaming or connecting genital size with bad behavior, I don't use it myself. I also don't use big dick energy. I don't use gendered or body-related insults. But I think the use of the term is far more nuanced than some are making it out.

@ahreaume the dick energy one possesses is irrespective of actual measurable dick size, it’s an essence of being, an ineffable quantity or lack thereof of dick energy and the finger wagging and public shaming of using dick energy as a means of measurement, is, in and of itself, an example of small dick energy.
