who’s out there comparing their dicks to other dudes to know if they’re below or above average
Insecure dudes, primarily.
someone should tell them it’s gay to think about other men’s dicks
/s, but their reaction would be funny
People who like to check children’s genitals at sporting events

thanks, same to you.
Gsus4The same people comparing their cars, bank accounts, houses, even their dogs and schools their children go to. to decide who is ““alpha”” and who is poor. Capitalist religion issues.
Ngl, I frankly kinda doubt that who owns the means of production has any bearing on an individual’s self-consciousness regarding their penis size
Do you think the same about makeup? It is so easy to play with men’s insecurities too…
We had makeup thousands of years before capitalism.
What about penis implants and viagra?
Those come after. Capitalism is a late 18th century CE creation
It’s actually from earlier than that (Locke, Adams), but it only became unmanageable after we found cheap energy in the industrial revolution, which made the human element mostly trivial.
Smith wrote in the 18th century. Locke, as I recall, never did much with economics
Locke invented liberalism, which Adams, as a moral philosopher, concretized in practice.
Yes but Loke solely focused on political rights whereas Adams was concerned with the economy. Locke wasn’t involved in capitalism.
I don’t, no, not really. Make up is heavily advertised, and makeup companies have a vested interest in stoking those insecurities to increase their sales. On the dick-size side of things, you have a few surgeons I guess? Some scammy mobile game ads? But the vast, vast majority of people who aren’t fuck-it rich just live with it, the only viable market for that shit is other capitalists, which makes me inclined to think that dick-size insecurities are much more organic.
Hypothesis: if we abolish capitalism and make the transition to socialism and communism, people will still be self conscious about their dick-size, because this particular self-consciousness probably pre-dates society itself
Communism failed horribly, don’t put words in my mouth. Conspicuous consumption is taking longer, but it will fail too eventually.
Mutual, I didn’t think or mean to imply that you thought communism would solve penis disphoria, you could replace the word “communism” with any other system you like in that sentence, I was just trying to illustrate that the roots of being self-conscious of ones penis size likely have more primal causes than capitalism or any other economic system.
I just look at things like aesthetic plastic surgery and wonder if people used to feel inferior about themselves for things that they could not change. Because today you need to keep improving yourself…because you can.
We had comparative wealth inequality for thousands to tens of thousands of years before capitalism.
Yes, but you didnt have status anxiety and “you deserve to be poor because you don hustle enough at the altar of capitalism”.
You absolutely have Calvinism before capitalism which is what the prosperoty gospel is rooted within
But in Calvinism you couldn’t do anything about it, in the prosperity gospel, it is your fault, because you don’t belive enough, so you should try harder.
Google is a thing, and the average penis size is a fairly well documented static. .
I would volunteer to look at a bunch of penises…for science of course.
explodicleBack when the internet sucked, I was young and insecure. So I just asked the girls I slept with how I stacked up against the other guys.
It’s amazing how being young and good looking can make up for being creepy and weird.
being young and good looking can make up for being creepy and weird
sounds dope, can’t relate
Not a dude. But we can compare if stepbro wants uwu…
I’m comparing to find out if I’m a white nationalist
so, are you?
Judging by the specimens I found online I think I’m supposed to be Goebbels
darn, too bad
