By : If you are a male you would have at some time in your life been concerned about the size or appearance of your penis. The fear of being considered inadequate or different haunts most human beings but there is a particularly deep connection between men’s self-confidence and their genitals.
Men know this and so do women. Sadly, this knowledge has been used to humiliate, taunt, belittle, delegitimize and denigrate men since the time we first walked upright.
I believe this predicament, which all boys and men face, is something women and girls do not have to endure despite the claims that body shaming is something females experience on a constant basis in the media and in their daily interactions.
The first point I always like to make when I raise this subject is the fact that being taunted for your weight is most certainly a hurtful experience but it is something over which every individual has some control and if motivated enough it is something which can be changed.
I cannot recall a time when I saw a character in a movie or sitcom make a nudge wink reference to cavernous vaginas or tiny breasts. There may well have been but this would be a rare occurrence. Derogatory comments about penises are legion in the world of tv and movies.
