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.

I'll add that, in this particular case, Greta has dealt with some of the absolute worst dregs of toxic masculinity from a very young age. She's gotten graphic rape threats and violent fantasies shared with her from the time she was a very young teenager.

Often from people connected to the oil and gas industry and very explicitly connecting their ability to drive gas guzzling cars and trucks with their virility, masculinity and violent fantasies. This merging of toxic masculinity and car culture isn't new for her.

Pointing to the toxically masculine connections between size of car(s), size of penis/virility, relative masculinity, and climate change is actually a relevant discussion. These are all bound up together in the minds of those who have been attacking her for years.
